Scout or waitress?

Believe me i’m cackling with laughter as i’m writing this! I always lament to my boyfriend about the lack of suitable backgrounds to take my w_r outfits and so tonight, me and my bright idea presents this:

Wearing this dress makes me feel like both a girl scout mainly because it’s green and a waitress working at a diner, which explains my new ‘friends’. I fully suspect this is indeed a waitress’s uniform after looking through several images, especially since the collar and sleeve detail resemblance is there plus the buttons running all the way down.

Dress: Vintage from Kensington Market, Toronto
Clutch: Secondhand
Black flats: Tangs

    Ohhh, I love it! You should definitely pull out a pad + pen and cock your head to the side while saying, “What’ll ya have, hon?”

    Love the puff sleeves. :)

    There is everything to love about the dress! The colour combo! The puff sleeves! The cut of the dress! Omg, I have a major case of dress envy right now. You look fabulous, girly.

    You look adorable! I’d definitely order from you if you actually waitress :-) It works with your pulled back hair and brown clutch.
