If I planned things better I would have snapped photos of what I wore today and THEN changed into the dress I meant to show you last post but my camera battery died so I only got one photo.I don't plan things well though because by the time I got out of the dress I wore today and into the other dress and back out of it again I said "eh never mind" and put on my pink Scottie dog and fleur de lis pajamas.=)
My friends call me the thrift store queen and I guess I can accept that title.I'm pretty good at putting an entire outfit together for less than $20.00,but honestly I've had to for so long that it comes naturally.For example this outfit with dress,shoes,flowers and necklace cost me $15.50!
My wardrobe has been lacking a petticoat since my mid 20's which is a shame because I think would be really cute with this dress.Somethings in life you learn too late but when your parents told you to "share" remember to scrap that idea when it comes to your closet!Especially if you're a vintage lover.Its one thing if your friend borrows something and ruins it or just never gives it back but if said item was vintage its 10 times more heartbreaking.It was windy today but I love the V shape ruffling!
the shoes I shared a few posts ago as part of a somewhat recent thrift score.Yellow shoes don't really go with a ton of things so I had to wear them with this dress versus plain black (though I feel my closet is in need of gray ballet flats)
I love how the ruffle comes up the back of the dress! Great for accentuating your derrière.
ReplyDeleteI love the ruffle, too! What a great detail. And I'm impressed at your thrifty skills! (A little jealous, too - I just can't find decent things in thrift stores here, anymore. But I don't look as often as I used to, I suppose.)

Hi there! My package arrived safe when I was on vacation. I didn't write you yet because I was going to do a blog post about it. I took the pics already but O have been swamped and am two weeks behind on my blog content. So let me just tell you now that I LOVE IT ALL!! By the way, how do you wear that netting that falls on the sides of that hat? I love the color and am looking for a dress to match it for next viva.
