dress v pets, round three

Which is Cuter: Dress or Pets? returns today for a third no-holds-barred skirmish between innate animal cuteness and the past century’s sartorial attempts to make us all go “awww”.

Today, it’s this vintage dress:

vs a really, really wet chicken:

The irresistable combination of a chicken’s fluffiness and her desire to go play outside no matter WHAT kind of weather we’re having is one more reason why I want to spend my honeymoon in the garden more than anywhere else in the world.  

A sentimental advantage for Team Pets, perhaps, but an opponent wielding plaid and cashmere and that particular shade of creamsicle orange  is a formidable opponent indeed. Also, just because it needs to be said, this dress is clearly what librarians wear when they go to sea.

<We have the lovely folks at timelssvixenvintage  to thank for another title contender, though the particularly tragic price tag finds me a bit petulant and resigned to a color picture taped to the inside of my closet door at present.>
