This is my Marilyn Munroe look, tee hee.Yesterday was a windy windy day in the afternoon, so when I left work I found that the thrifted dress I bought last summer (for about $6.99, cotton, French label) was blowing all over the place.
Here I am holding it down. My pal Chris took the pic.
I'm wearing the dress with a second-hand belt bought at a consignment shop.
Notice the vintage 1980s sunglasses? Take a read back a couple weeks and you'll see them again.
I live in thrift shop dresses in the summer. At my local thrift shop, Stretch Thrift, they can be had for $5.99-$6.99 on average, and the price is the same at Sally Ann. A really nice dress is often $14.99-$19.99 at Value Village, and I'll normally only go that 'high' if the dress is a nice designer label (ie: no Old Navy or Gap for that price).Come to think of it, I won't go over $20 for very many items at the thrift shop, unless it's a piece of furniture. Do you have a threshold you won't cross when it comes to dollars spent?
Have a great day!!
Definitely! My faves are items under a buck. A couple of times a year my church basement has bag sales. You can stuff a green garbage bag for 5$ That's the best!
ReplyDeleteOoh Vonlipi I need to go to more of those! I always seem to miss them! Used to do them in highschool though and I'd walk away with vintage 1970s Ports dresses in a bag of stuff for a few dollars - heaven!!
