Chasing chevrons

I'm getting to that point where my wardrobe is so stuffed with dresses that I am forgetting what I have in it. A couple of weeks ago, the lovely ladies at Gudrun Sjoden, knowing my penchant for all things Swedish at the moment, gave me this cute a-line skirt as a Midsommar present (as you can perhaps see from the flower crown). It's made from a light jersey fabric and will be perfect for casual wear in the autumn :)

But its chevron design reminded me that I have a vintage dress I probably haven't worn in two years that I completely forgot I even had. It's a lovely 1940s number with bodice pleats and chevrons in the skirt. I'm digging this bad gyal out right away! The moral of this story is to not have a tiny wardrobe stuffed to bursting with things - you forget you have awesome dresses hiding away in there!
