I just found this old outfit post that I never managed to post, which is a shame because I love this dress! I got it last year from Goodwill (where else?) for $4. It was a size 2X, so I sewed it in a few inches on both sides. I still left it fairly loose to maintain a fuller skirt. As a result, it looks like a nightgown without the belt. And I may or may not wear it like that around the house. No shame.
Dress: thrifted ($4)
Shoes: Rainbows ($48)
Belt: thrifted ($1)
I'm sort of obsessed with the embroidery.
Also, excuse my ridiculously expensive flip flops. It's doesn't help that the rest of my outfit only cost $5...but they were a college-kid-who-walks-everywhere-all-the-time-and-needs-good-shoes investment. If that's a thing, that is. My Sperry's and Toms fit into this category as well. They all do a wonderful job of saving my arches and destroying my budget-friendly outfits.
Love this dress! It's so pretty! I do the same with shoes, but I rationalize that since I wear the more expensive pairs multiple times a week that it evens out. And my feet don't hurt which is important.
ReplyDeleteAgreed! I'm terrified of developing long term leg/foot problems so I rationalize it too. :)

ReplyDeleteBeautiful dress and I love it with the tan accessories!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty dress :) It's okay to have some expensive items, sometimes you pay for what you get xox
ReplyDeleteI love this dress! I can see wearing this dress when the weather gets cooler with a cardi and a moc boots or a tan boots. Awesome! :) Sometimes I am willing to pay for expensive shoes when I know I will be using it a lot and that something that is of quality, so it is okay.
ReplyDeleteThis is so true! The cost versus # of wears on those shoes is probably a lot cheaper than the ratio for some of my cheaper finds, good point!
DeleteThank you guys, for all the sweet compliments! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the colors and the pattern of the white stitching!
