What i've currently deemed to be "The Perfect Spring Dress", is going to be open for bidding on eBay in about 10 hrs. (seller: mynoble), and since its measurements won't suit my curvaceousness, i'm urging you to win it, and wear it with Bakelite bangles. It reminds me of Diane Wiest's fabulous vintage wardrobe in Hannah and Her Sisters, though she would've worn it with a '50s varsity jacket, a beret, and cowboy boots (see Diane below, in that great film, wearing an adorable '30s sailor top over a little denim jacket, accessorized with a beret, polka dot handkerchief, and '60s beads): 
And here are some more of my "dream Spring wardrobe" looks:
Photos: '70s knitted Bargello ensemble (love the blue tights)! / Carly Simon bopping around NYC in a Victorian inspired dress, Grecian sandals, and macrame bag (early '70s) / Claire McCardell's rayon jersey "Arabian Nights" ensemb (1946) / Embroidered linen Gretel dress from Amsterdam / hot '70s leather jacket (East West Musical Instruments Company?) / '70s-Deco suit by Lee Bender for Bus Stop / Adorable early '70s ensemb with the greatest leather sack tote / canary yellow knitted cardigan with matching knee-socks! / the perfect trench-coat by Ossie Clark and Celia Birtwell (along with their cat, Percy).
