I gotta say...I love that the weather seems to be warming up, but like the bi-polar biatch she is, Mother Nature keeps throwing curve balls our way. So, if you're like me, it's a daily struggle to pull a perfect-for-the-weather outfit when it just keeps changing at the drop of hail. I tend to gravitate towards mid-length dresses and boots this time of year, it seems to keep me warm enough but also allows for me to nix the tights. Below are some transitional pieces from Blackbird Attic, available now!
All of these dresses are so versatile in the fact that you can pair them with boots, a boyfriend cardi, a cool leather jacket or just wear it alone and you have SO many looks to choose from. I guess the question you really have to answer is: "Who do I want to be today?"
A phrase coined in the 1960s and 1970s, flower power has a peaceful meaning--hippies embraced the symbolism by dressing in clothing with embroidered flowers
and vibrant colors, wearing flowers in their hair etc.
Abundant in the Spring, flowers along with pastels can be a great addition to your closet. Blackbird Attic has the following in stock:
Wear with a pair of high-waisted flares and some platforms and you have a groovy outfit.
Anthropologie Edme & Esyllte I Size 8 I $18
This dress is so versatile it's ridiculous--pair with heels and some fancy jewelry for a night out, or with wedge or gladiator sandals for a casual day look.
Anthropologie Lilka Floral Ruffle Dress I Medium I $17.50
I love the color palette within this Free People dress. Have fun with this and wear just as vibrant of colors on your feet and accessories.
Free People Dress I $24.99 I Small-Medium
While I'm not a fan of the black tights in the photo, you can use black accessories to accompany this flowerful frock.
One of the most major ways to feel feminine is to throw on a slinky dress and some heels. However, these days, there are so many varieties of dresses (mini, maxi, midi, shift, fit & flare etc...) that it's kind of a given there's one for every body type and every mood. These aren't your staple LBD's but there is definitely room in your closet...

The art opening was a fun time. Lot's of energy in the air last night in Beacon!
We had delicious cupcakes made by The Cupcake Baketress in Beacon. Chocolate with a graham cracker bottom! You could smell the chocolate as soon as you entered my shop.. delicious.
Thanks friends for stopping by! Below my friend Jess is sporting a top she had just bought alongside her newly purchased, perfectly matching, spirit animal, artwork from Alms & Terra.
Lastly, here are a few photos of some new items in the shop. I have been getting bombarded with drop-offs.. late spring cleaning I suppose! It will take me some time to get through everything, but be sure to stop by and grab the newest stuff before it goes. Actually the first dress below went yesterday to a lovely lady from Austin. But, don't worry, I have the cutest handmade vintage dresses I will be putting out in the near future.
MICHELLE: Settled in Beacon, NY by way of Rochester and Brooklyn. I opened a consignment shop and gallery called Blackbird Attic in April of 2010 and I'm still goin'. I make soap from scratch and try to pretend I am crafty and can dress well, although I hand off a lot of projects to my husband and I'd be okay living in pajamas.
ALLIE: I’m a sucker for a good sale and my credit card limit has seen better days.I love styling and putting outfits together and I’m a firm believer that you don’t have to spend a million to look like a million. You’ll find me most days wandering around my town, sipping a Chai and day dreaming about writing for a living.
