Enjoying spring the best way I know how: by wearing pretty dresses! This stunning dress from the Unique Vintage x Barbie collection is inspired by Suburban Shopper Barbie and basically the dress I wanted to add to my actual closet since I was a kid. I love that they recreate some of her iconic outfits and just a few weeks ago they released a bunch more! I'm just going to be living my Barbie dreams from here on out...




Dress- c/o Unique Vintage
Shoes- Remix Vintage Shoes
Hat- old (similar)
Sunglasses- c/o Vixen by Micheline Pitt
The Suburban Shopper dress features embroidered stripes and 3D appliqué florals on this sky blue fabric. There is a gathered waist with a sweepingly full skirt, deep hidden side pockets and an exposed back zippered closure. I've actually owned this dress before many years ago and I took a size small. At that time the bodice was extremely tight in the bust area. This time around I've sized up to a medium and honestly, I could have just stuck with a small. They must have improved the pattern to be more true to size since I'm usually a size small. It's a little large in the bust and waist here but now I know I should probably stick with a small if I want to snag the yellow version later.
