Seeing Spots

March 24, 2015,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

Once in a while I have to step away from the trendy and get back to the classic. The other day Boston hit the 50 degree mark and to celebrate I put on a retro polka dot dress and a classic trench. But it wouldn’t be a Celina outfit without a little something extra, so I added a vintage crinoline underneath the dress for some extra volume.
