I had a moment with my thrift stores this weekend…and what made it even better was that all the clothes were on sale for 50 cents.  
While I was on a time crunch (and had Chloe with me…), I did my best to scour the entire place in search for the best finds there.
This dress was one of those finds.
While I get that not everybody is going to swoon over it as I do, that’s totally ok.
That’s actually what I love about thrifting.
There is nothing like the thrill of finding pieces that are questionable (like those shorts, lol!) and finding a way to make it work.
Finding a way to make it my own.
I’m hoping that I can find time this week to shoot a few pictures in the other two dresses I found as well…all vintage, and all 50 cents a piece!!!
Btw, I did go back for those shorts.
And would you believe they were gone?
Some other lucky soul is rocking a sexy pair of shorts, and I’m slightly jealous.
Guess it just wasn’t meant to be.
sigh.
