"look at me, i'm sandra dee"

if you know me even a little, you'll know just how crazy i am about grease. even after watching it regularly for 20 years now, it still never gets old. as usual, i'm been humming or singing a song from the movie, and since i have a few new favorites from browsing etsy, i thought, "hey, these things together would make a good modern day sandy outfit!" so here's my compilation, 21st century sandy!

where to find these beauties: sunglasses, dress, necklace, ballet flats, handbag

that outfit definitely puts me in the mood for a boardwalk stroll along the beach. or maybe a bike ride. but probably both. sunglasses and sundresses... anyone else in the mood for a little summer lovin'?

  1. One of the local radio stations played Summer Lovin' the other day so me and my sidekick turned up the radio and sang it at the top of our lungs while driving from our house to a friends house - it was awesome!

  11. So basically I need everything in this post. My chorus teacher in middle school made us watch Grease twice a year, and sing all of the music from the movie. So 3 years of chorus, thats 6 times seeing the movie in school, and it still never gets old!
