Dusty Rose Vintage: Mafia Widow

I am soooooooooo "Married to the Mob"!

We all are, in this Dusty Rose Vintage photoshoot.

Or shall I say, we WERE so married to the mob?

Such a mafiosa widow look, no?

While we're all mourning the loss of our mob-boss husband, whatever he was...

there's no mourning going on about this sultry, show-your-lingerie, little number.

-Oh no, this LBD is just the right mix of light and airy, perfect for the sheer look the magazines are calling for this spring.

-Yet perfectly appropriate (with a slip underneath or course) for a classy dinner, a chic cocktail party, or a funeral (god forbid).

So whether or not you dare to go bare, or stick to your modest ways, this dress is a fine LBD for many occasions.

(now please child...stop looking at my nearly naked body--it might make your eyes bleed.

And goodness gracious, lets hope my family doesn't see this post.

This is so way BEYOND SHEER FOR ME! I'm such a prude.)

It was said I shed a single tear that sad-sad day.

Um, yeah right! I'm such a "hard-ass", no crying allowed at photoshoots.

And the "funeral scene" I'm attempting to set, well its just fiction.

Ok, ok...enough of my nonsense.

You know the thing I really enjoy about collaborating with Dusty Rose Vintage?

It's these photoshoots, we all have such imaginations that we completely get into these "themes" and we just go with it. It's like being a little girl in this make-believe world.

And it really is fun to put on all these clothes, because in a way, it transforms you for a small amount of time into a chic lady one moment, to a cold-hearted mafia widow the next.

Both of which I am not!

(cold-hearted yes, widow-no)

And yes, its make-believe in these photos-but their garments are all quite versatile and all so very relevant in today's world.

This dress could transition from the 1980's into today with extreme ease.

And that's what I love about the well curated selection of vintage DVR has.

Really if your a modern girl in love with vintage, their items really do fit into your lifestyle with the right styling.
