I can't believe I didn't buy this 1970s striped polyester cowl neck dress at first. It was $6.99 at my local thrift store, Stretch Thrift, and then it was 50 percent off that! I loved the colours but wasn't sure if I had the guts to pull off, well, a 1970s striped polyester cowl neck dress!
But reader, I went back the same day and tried it on. It was a bit loose but I figured I could cinch it in with a belt (as I have here, with a vintage velvet elasticized belt I found for about $10 in a vintage shop). So I bagged it for $3.49!
I'm wearing it here with a pair of Stuart Weitzman platforms I thrifted in mint condition for under $10 at Goodwill.
Cost of total outfit: under $20! Chic can, indeed, be cheap!
Great vintage dress and what a buy. Vintage is popping up everywhere now that I'm interested in it. Too bad my budget is so lean - I've passed up some nice pieces. Your dress will look great with leggings or even jeans, I'm guessing. Versatile piece.
ReplyDeleteGlad you went back, looks fab on you!
ReplyDeleteI think you can carry off pretty much any look you want! Very cute.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kris. I admire you for your restraint. Wish I could resist more!
ReplyDeleteThrifted Treasure thank you, I am glad I went back too. The colours make me so happy.
Aw, that is sweet of you to say, Anonymous. I guess I am pretty lucky as I am a small size and can pretty much find anything that looks good while thrifting.
