150 Days to Go: Randolph Street Market

May 23, 2012 | 174 Comments

Today’s post is one that involves a very cool vintage dress that I didn’t have to do anything to!  My lovely friends at the Randolph Street Market in Chicago sent me this piece to don to get ready for the summer as well as their monthly markets!!

New Dress A Day - Vintage Dress - DIY - Randolph Street Market Dress

Vintage Wares!

If I were only in Chicago, I’d be able to hit up opening weekend on Saturday! Weekend flea markets are my fave.  (For those Chicago-ians, cruise over and let me know if you scoop up any awesome goodies!)

Randolph Street Market Festival Times!

The print was super fun…

New Dress A Day - Vintage Dress - DIY - Randolph Street Market - Pool

Feels like summer!

…and I felt like I was down in Palm Springs with the 60s-ish paisley vibe going on!

New Dress A Day - Vintage Dress - DIY - B&W

B&W!

I took the nude heels off for the sake of the photo, however my hands were a bit wet and slid a smidge on the railing. I was almost pool-bound in that dress.

Literally almost fell in!

As a mid-week giveaway, I’m offering the amazing vintage purse to one of you readers!  It’s perfect for the summer – nothing better than a raspberry sorbet colored bag!

  • Sandra

    Graduating from ULV is what i’m doing!

  • Btejkl

    I teach high school and this is graduation weekend so I will be attending 12-15 grad parties. Plus, my youngest turns 14 on Monday. No cooking for me (except a cake of course). Love the dress lots.

  • Donah1007

    I’m working Saturday. I live In Indianapolis so I plan to stay home and try to avoid some of the craziness that goes along with the Indianapolis 500 Sunday.

  • Maria

    Cute dress! For me, Memorial Day is always spent w/ college friends. There are three couples & we alternate between Memorial Day, Labor Day, & New Year’s Eve as to where we gather w/ our kids. Lots of fun & reminiscing of our college days!

  • Bookworm2many

    Beautiful dress! Nothing special this weekend. Probably our last quiet weekend before summer gets really busy.

  • Rjpk8

    we are having our granddaughters stay for the weekend…we always do a sewing project when they are here (they are 5 and 7) this time we are making beach totes for their summer swim team meets!  I couldnt be doing anything more exciting or more important!!!
    Just love your blog, have a great weekend!!

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=41603120 Emily Haager

    Going for a picnic with my boyfriend at the Moraine Valley Park!

  • Vanessa

    I’m doing a date night with my dad this Friday!   We’re doing dinner and then going to see ‘Battleship.’   Gotta love date night with dad. :)

  • Katlyn McNeil

    I plan on walking around a (hopefully) empty NYC with my boyfriend, enjoying fleet week, and relaxing!

  • DinaB

    I will be helping my Dad on his farm. We need to get more planted (cucumbers, beets, radishes, sunflowers and such) and another row of string on the Sugar Snap Peas and the tomatos need to be mulched, staked and strung. My oldest son starts his national tour and I miss him already.

     I see by moosemaniac that you can pre-order your book! I would love a link on your blog (or did I not see it?) so I can order too!

     I hope everyone has a happy and safe weekend. 

  • Sbrdek

    That purse is amazing!
    My weekend plans include a girl’s night, a wedding, and either visiting with my sister or house hunting.  

  • Kayla

    After work on Friday I will be heading down to the beach with my family. I can’t wait to relax on the beach, eat some seafood, and most importantly get some shopping in!

  • zah

    I’m going to Niagara Falls for my boyfriend’s birthday and a late 4-year anniversary celebration! I’ve never been and I couldn’t be more excited….and it means a 4 day weekend followed by a 3 day work week!!

  • Claudia N

    [Seeing as though I live in Spain] I won’t be celebrating Memorial Day weekend in a traditional sense. On the other hand my mom will come home after being in the States for two months, just in time for my brother’s birthday! So lots of cake and catching up for me. :)  

  • Peggy

    I only have Sunday off, so I am taking my stepmom out to eat and then off to do some shopping! It is supposed to be fairly warm, in the 90s , so the air conditioning in the stores should feel great!

  • Amys30

    Going to the Finger Lakes in New York with my husband.  Can’t wait to get away for a long weekend and check out the wineries there!!!

    • DinaB

      Stop in to visit me in Canandaigua!

  • http://www.facebook.com/devyn.lundy Devyn Lundy

    Saturday I am going to the Commitment Ceremony of one of my best friends, Joey and his partner Adam, it is sure to be a fabulous event!  In true NDAD fashion, I will be wearing a thrifted dress!! Also the pool opens this weekend and I will be hittin that up with my kiddos.. bring on summertime!

  • Wesley

    Memorial day weekend a big group of us friends rent a house in backwoods wisconsin and ride bikes, drink and sit around the fire! Excellent!

  • Micki

    That purse is adorable (and so are you!).  If my husband is not too exhausted from his trip, we’re packing up the truck and the dog to do a little camping under the stars.

  • http://twitter.com/Kristyn923 Kristyn B.

    Love the color of that dress! This weekend will be spent with the family. Unfortunately, I have soccer practice ON Memorial Day too.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=110900843 Elizabeth O’Brien

    Love the dress!!! I’d totally wear that. Well, this weekend is just same ol’, same ol’. Japan doesn’t celebrate Memorial Day, so it’s just work, church, and housecleaning. But I’m looking forward to it, nevertheless!

  • Sarah I.

    We will be working on the garden–I have some little soybeans and squash plants I’d like to get into the ground…and one mystery volunteer plant I’m going to try to identify–I think it’s an herb of some kind. My oldest wants to try riding his new bike; my youngest will probably hinder my gardening; and my husband will probably grill something. Happy Memorial Day to everyone!

  • Jenirod1

    ooo… I LOVE raspberry sorbet! flavor AND color, lol =) We will be doing the Memorial Day tradition here in Lithopolis Ohio of the Fireman’s fish fry (yum!) along w/ the antique shops, various yard sales and yes, a flea market AND a car show! We always find great treasures!

  • A_jay30

    Very cute dress!  I’ve recently discovered a love of bright colors (especially oranges, greens, bright blues, and pinks).  I used to shy away from them, but they’re just so cute and I feel so good that I can’t help myself :-)   My kiddos and I will be traveling from Dallas to Houston to spend the weekend with my sister, her husband and my parents.  We’ll do a little grilling and will hopefully make our way to Galveston so that I can put my toes in the Gulf.  It’s not the Pacific, but it’s pretty close.  Hubby has to work, so he’ll miss out on the festivities :-(

  • Emily Jencson

    Love the Bag! My plans for Memorial Day include going to the beach, a drive-in, and just relaxing with my boyfriend.  We have both been super busy and are looking forward to the long weekend.  I also hope to re-do a dress! 

  • Threetaylors123

    “She wore a raspberry sorbet, the kind you find in a second hand store!”  haha! Hitting the beach this weekend, weather permitting…

  • Amanda Davis

    Oh my gosh, LOVE this purse AND this dress SO VERY MUCH!  Too adorable!  Sure wish I lived in Chi-town too right now I would be all over that marketplace!!    

    Definitely want to enter this contest – and my Memorial Weekend plans include catching up on all the stuff I didn’t do while I was out of town for almost the entire first 1/2 of May and the end of April!   I will be planting a veggie garden in my backyard, weeding the front yard and editing the wedding photos I took last week at my friend Forest’s wedding out in La Quinta in your part of the world!  (holy smokes it was so flippin’ hot out in the desert last week ~ wowza!)

     

  • Kelly

    We’re going to Old Cow Town, and maybe the Sand Dunes.

  • Gin B

    raspberry – yum!   Off to garden and do some creative rearranging in and around my home.  Can’t wait to rest.

  • Cinak630

    taking friday off for a 4 day weekend. i like to think of it as a mental health weekend. we usually hit up estate sales on Saturday.

  • Andreea

    I didn’t even realize we had a 3 day weekend until my husband said something about it the other day! So no plans yet, probably just relaxing

  • Katrina

    Spend time up at the lake, cook out, relax. . .

  • Jennifer Pruitt

    We’ll be spending some time with the family at the lake house, and watching my husband’s sister’s dance recital! It’ll be a weekend of fun and glitter!! My fav :)

  • Leah

    Love the purse!!!!  Going to Indiana to visit the parents.

  • http://www.facebook.com/loree.lamour Loree Lamour

    I will be going to a wine tasting/live music in Mt. Airy MD. That purse would totally look great with my flats :)

  • Poozy

    Awesome bag! My plans for this weekend: My friend Jennifer B is in town from Spain and we are going to have a tea party on the roof of my 5th floor walk up in Brooklyn. We are also going to write a song together before her flight home on Sunday as we used to play in a band called Kitty Badass. Perhaps we can write a theme song for new dress a day!

  • Jennifer O.

    I want to go find some running trails. I haven’t had a chance since we have only been in our new town/city just over a month. I hope to also go and swim laps. This should help motivate me to sign up for a triathlon this summer. I missed out on triathlons last year due to moving!!

  • KimK

    Gardening!
     

  • Deana Ste. Marie

    My memorial day weekend is a very special one this year! My parents, who I haven’t seen since Christmas, are throwing me a Graduation BBQ/Memorial Day weekend BBQ to celebrate my graduation from Harvard University. I am receiving a Master of Liberal Arts. I come from a very small town in Northern Vermont (only 500 residents) so my graduation is a huge deal to the community. All six of my siblings (3 brothers and 3 sisters) will be in the same place at the same time and I know my parents are thrilled to finally have us all together! My youngest sister is 6 years old and she is a true fashionista who has taken a strong liking to your blog! 

    It will be a truly wonderful weekend of food, family, friends and fun! 

  • Lupe Luna

     The unofficial beginning of summer, family get together, back yard grilling, Sangria making and drinking and just plain enjoying the time together. Also some local thrifting in for good measure.

    I’m in Tokyo so I’m Skyping with some family :)

  • Emily

    Work, work, work, and making Chocolate Chip Strawberry Shortcake for my friend’s birthday :)

  • Roxy

    We are planning a staycation! Much needed relaxing will be happening!

    I’ll be relaxing on my porch a little and working on my living room. New TV = re-arrange! Maybe get the nasty carpet out too.  Our big festival comes on June 7, so we don’t do much on Memorial weekend.

  • Jlnafeap

    Wish I was vintage shopping!  Actually we are tearing a wall down in our clinic this weekend and will be reopening as a Community Acupuncture Clinic next week.  So very exciting :)

  • Annie K

    (p.s. the purse is key-ute!!)

  • Mrs Kuhtz

    I love that dress. This Memorial Day weekend Im driving 500 miles to see my Mama, baby Sister (who’s old enough to kill me for calling her my ‘baby’ sister), her 2 beautiful Daughters ages 12 & 5 and my baby Brother & his wife. All of whom I haven’t seen in almost 2 yrs. Im stoked!

  • stcloudsweetie99

    I will be heading to the Apostles Island of Lake Superior, off shore from Bayfield, WI. My husband and I will be staying on Madeline Island, the largest of them all, and we are looking forward to relaxing!

  • Emily

    Camping on the lake and spending time with the family-summers are always good for quality time with the fam! Not to mention fun in the sun knee- and wake-boarding!!

  • ESmith

    The husband’s birthday is on the 29. We may go to the beach, or sleep to an obnoxious hour and BBQ at home to celebrate!

  • http://www.grownupnowwhat.com/ Tammy

  • Wilesfamof7

    So my plans for Memorial Day are to attend a ceremony my friends are having to renew their vows.  I was in their original wedding 24 years ago in college.  I lost touch with them.  Found them 3-4 years ago and they had 6 kids and their marriage was nearly falling apart.  Things have miraculously turned around and they are now more in love than ever and I get to be a part of them renewing their vows this weekend.  So I feel pratty blessed.

  • Karla

  • Deborah Derr

    I am goat-sitting for Memorial Weekend. Yes, goats. My boyfriend’s parents got goats recently and asked if I could watch them while they took a trip out to CO to visit their grandkids. So I get to feel like a farmer for a week. :)

  • Margo from Bellingham

    Dear Marisa, I will be marching in a parade in beautiful downtown Bellingham, Wa, with the priviledge of carrying a banner with the photograph and name, of one of our Washington state soldiers who was killed doing his duty for our country overrseas.  His mother is a friend of mine and that makes it very personal for me. My husband, retired Army officer (and veteran of Viet Nam) will also march with a banner of someone he doesn’t know, but wishes to salute and honor.On Memorial Day my husband and I will attend a special Memorial Service of those who died in Viet Nam. I thank God that my husband is alive and well but there are many he knows that didn’t return.   If you love the USA and being a free citizen, thank a Vet and remember those who gave their all for your freedom.
    Congratulations on your successful blog and upcoming book.
    Sincerely,
    Margo from Bellingham.

  • D from B

    I’m meeting my mom’s cousins and their kids for the first time ever!  They’ve been living in the US for over 30 years now, and finally found a time and place to get together.  
    My mom’s family reads like a town in a soap opera: everyone’s related in more ways than one!  We’ll be throwing some veggies, veggies burgers, and for the older family members, some tandoori paneer (or cheese cubes) on the grill.  Yum!  All the while, we’ll probably be listening to the older ladies relive their youth, while comparing their kids to themselves.

  • Rebecca L.

    Truthfully I don’t have definite plans for Memorial weekend but maybe some homework, biking, watching basketball and hanging with friends. Maybe even the beach! But it’s all up in the air. But I hope I win the raspberry purse because it’s just my color :)

  • http://profile.yahoo.com/KEOXFOCRFNOGE75OB6MBBRM6QE Maggie

    We are going to the cabin for the weekend!  Wahoo!   Lake, here we come!

  • JAlex

    Going with lots of friends and family to the mountains for a camping trip.  And by camping I mean tents, no electricity, cooking over a fire, etc. I get alot of weird looks when I say this because apparently the 2012 definition of camping is a camper as big as my house or a cabin with air conditioning and your own bathroom.  I don’t know whats wrong with all these people.  :)

  • Amber S

    Going home to Nashville TN!!! Getting fitted for a bridesmaid dress for my brothers wedding and snuggling my baby nephew! Let’s not forget wearing a floppy hat on the lake for days!

    My absolute best friend in the whole world is coming up to visit me for a weekend of thrifting! She is bringing up clothes that she no longer wants and we are going to compare, contrast, pick, fix, adjust, sew, and when inspiration fails us, drop it off at the local Goodwill. Then (of course) we will have to go in and spend hours and hours and hopefully come out with some major treasures!  A girls weekend made in heaven (or in this case, Maine!)

  • Lori

    Cute dress!  My husband (a native Chicagoan) and I will be taking tickets at the annual Festival du Rendezvous in Vincennes, IN!  It’s a 2-day historical re-enactment of Revolutionary War life and battles.  Lots of food, Native American face paint, and wool military uniforms!

  • Gamarho

    Beautiful! I will be baking and decorating a small wedding cake for a friend…and maybe a flea market or two…

  • Jemima

    I’ll probably take my kids to the local water park. And we must have a weenie roast.  Nothing like a good roasted weenie.  :)

  • Teresa Cordova

    My sister, her friend, and I will be road tripping from Arizona to Montana! We’ll be stopping at as many national parks as we can, camping all the way up there! It’ll also be my first time camping, but I am so excited! :D

  • Trish

    What a cute bag!   Guaranteed to put a sunny smile on the face of the lucky winner (hope it’s me ;)    We are escaping the beach and heading west to the NC mountains for some bbq and adult beverages with bestest friends!

    This Memorial Day will be particularly meaningful for my family and myself, as we will be spending it with my brother, who is career Air Force, before he heads overseas.

  • Masondixon50

    with the way my busy life has been going lately, I really hope I am doing absolutely nothing… We are going to a beer tasting meetup group though, and perhaps IKEA since it’s nearby.

    I will be spending my entire weekend in a restaurant because I am a waitress. Waitresses don’t get weekends or holidays unfortunately. At least not normal ones. :) I like to redefine weekend, and make my own holidays.

    Bridesmaid dress alterations (interspersed with grilling lessons.)

    9 years ago, my husband and I had our first date. We’ll be celebrating by reenacting the date. Watching the Indy 500 on tv, then dinner at Chilis, followed by trivia at BW3.

    That dress is ridiculous! I’m definitely going to hit up the market when I’m in Chicago this summer! :)   I’m gonna be lounging on the lake with the fam this weekend, and doggy-sitting for a fabulous little boxer doggy named Sadie. Bring on the long weekend!!!

  • Kate M

    For the weekend I’m going to relax! I’m taking a summer course that is only 11 total classes, but they’re four hours each and I have 6-8 hours of homework each night. I get to have a bit of fun for a couple days with my hubby, and then it’s back to the books!
