It's Not That Easy Being Green

I've been sort of under the weather lately, but I wore my "new-to-me" vintage green cotton 30s dress yesterday, which perked me up a bit.  Oh, have you heard Andrew Bird's sweet version of "Bein' Green"?  It's so cute!

    Thank you, darlings! Green is a tricky colour on me (I tend to have a sallow complexion), but I just fell for it, so I'll make it work :)

    Devine picture! What is it about green in the 1930s ? Its the only decade I can think of that has a color all of its own !

    Massive applause for this frock - green is my favourite colour and it's beautiful on you:)). Your hair is also looking particularly fetching today. I thought the knickers were 1930s but wasn't sure - I trust your thoughts on dating clothing though:)) xoxo
