The Partridge Family Bus Dress

Well, after that (to me) disastrous outfit yesterday, there is no better palate-cleanser than a dress. 
Especially one that is this awesome!


  • Dress - Tangerine Jill, consignment; last worn here in March with trout shoes
  • Shoes - Van Eli, thrifted; last seen here (3rd outfit) in July with a fabulous vintage skirt


While I call this my "stained glass dress", my coworkers call it other things.
My Mondrian dress (after the artist Piet Mondrian, Wiki link here).

The best was today - Jamie called it the "Partridge Family bus dress".
1973 called. It wants its bus back.

The stuff:
The slightly mod vibe of these block-heeled sandals probably contributed to the overall 70s vibe of this outfit.

Simple bling:
Nothing too overwhelming.


  • Leather obi - thrifted
  • Cuff - Bauxo
  • Earrings - local
  • Fulvia Ring - Wendy Brandes


What would you call this dress? I mean, besides FABULOUS?!

    As a kid who watched the Partridge Family after school, I LOVE that someone called this the Partridge Family Bus dress!! It is a wonderful dress - simple shape and great pattern.

      Although Mondrian didn't use all these colours! Thanks, Lorena!

    Gorgeous colours in this dress, Sheila. It takes me back to the late 60's...

    No, it's definitely a stained glass dress, Sheila and it looks fab on you. I love the obi and the sandals - they go so well with the dress.

    Have a lovely weekend

    Call it what you like, I love, love, love it. I know I say this periodically, but put my name down for this one, eh?
