I found this old 80's dress at Goodwill last summer and it was too tight. This summer it was too big, so I added a belt to it to cinch it in, but I still need to have the shoulders stitched up a little to fit me better...which is why I kept my arms on my hips or held up, so I didn't show. I love this dress though..and what I love most is the color..and the polka dots! This is such a fun color to play with, and adding accessories just gives it more fun in color.
As you guys know, I started a new job a few weeks ago, and I am surrounded by clothing, and accessories everyday at work! bad..I know... However, I have been doing really well not buying anything unless I have money on my consigner account. This week, we got a gorgeous Coach purse (I thought) with matching accessories...I don't EVER buy expensive purses! However, I really loved this one..I came home and told my family that I really wanted this purse for my birthday, and that if I didn't get it a little early it would be gone! (My birthday is August, 19th)...plus I would get my discount at work if I bought it. My family, being the loving family that they are...got out their "sock change" and savings to buy me the Coach purse that I wanted for my birthday. My daughter..(Who NEVER gives money..and I mean NEVER, she sleeps with it..counts it every second.) she gave me all of her balled up dollars, and pennies to help pay for the purse..(tears)
Coach bag $71.00 (gift)

Oh what a sweet little girl. My ydd did something similar when she was young. She bought me a $10 rug for the kitchen for Mother's Day. She had earned a whopping $10 in two weeks by doing chores around the house. I thought she would get me something for $3-4 with her $10. But nope she spent the entire amount on that rug that she new I wanted, but not for her to buy it. The rug is pink and white plaid and very country style, which isn't my style at all now days... but, I still have the rug in my coat closet... awh.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great gift that you will enjoy for years to come. I Love that polka dot dress on you and the shoes are to die for. You always find the best buys!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love the polka dot dress! Great outfit! I have been on a polka dot craze myself! I found mine at a consignment shop, cream with brown mini dots in a chiffon type fabric making it just flow...and I wore it out to dinner with my new tan cowboy boots for a friends birthday party! YAY!
ReplyDeleteLove this dress! I can't resist a vintage polka dot dress!
