On my thrifting trips, I'm always on the hunt for the perfect style vintage dress, hopefully inspired by what will be in trend for the coming season.
Vogue have predicted the 'Fiesta' trend, which incorporates full skirts at midi length and frilled peasant blouses with a latin edge:
Last weeks thrift trip found this vintage Wallis peasant style dress, which is a really vibrant scarlet red and patterned in a bold leaf and acorn print.
It has pretty ruffles around the neckline and a suitable in trend midi length and is a versatile day dress for any forthcoming season. It was from the Sue Ryder charity shop in a neighbouring local town:
I think it will look really good with some gold wedges, flat gladiator sandals or some tan leather knee length boots, depending on the season I wear it. I will wear it with its own self skinny belt or a wide tan or black belt.
What trend is really inspiring you this Summer?

I love those old Wallis labels. That dress is absolutely ravishing, I'd definately have snapped that beauty up.
I've always loved that 1970's peasant look, I'm glad it's back. xxx
Ohhhhh I love that Wallis dress. I love Seventies Wallis passionately, some of my favourite dresses have been by them. Not only that, but the label was just a joy to behold as well.
Can't wait to see you wearing that soon!!
I cannot wait for summer. I just want to get back into single layers again :(
xx
Can't wait to see your take on the latin fiesta!!
Its already summer "like" for us here in South Florida! For summer I'm into bright colors, men's shirts, full skirts, print shorts and lots of bangles.
I love that whole Spanishy gypsy type look anyway, very romantic. I love the colour blocking that seems to be coming our way... I'm hoping it's shaping up to be a very bright summer.
Oh yeah that is super cute!! Wedges would look great with that!! I am still looking for a cute vintage dress have not found one yet ~I am going to keep looking though ~Have a wonderful day ~Love Heather
Lovely dress, I really like the print. Re Season's trends so far I've bought a white dress and the stripy jumper charity shop find. xx
really such a lovely dress, a real stunner! would wear it, too :) kind regards
Vintage Wallis is great. That dress is right up my street, I love the acorn motif! Thanks for your good wishes earlier today, much appreciated!

Oh Sharon, I fear that look is not for me, but your dress I like. Will you model it for us, please?
The fiesta trend looks so fun.
Dear Sharon, wow! I love it! I would have snapped it up too! You'll look fab in it.
Please can you send me all your sizes and your address, love, C xx
Sharon, I think that you deserve a great beach vacation in Mexico where you can rock your vintage fiesta frocks!
How beautiful! I just love the print! Can't wait to see you wear it. :o)
Let's see it on!
I love that the 70s style has come back, but in a less tacky way then a decade ago! I love the peasant dress you got... definitely something I can see worn with a pair of wedge sandals.
Hi everyone-many thanks to you all for your kind and lovely comments, they are so much appreciated xx
