Notice: hips in this picture appear larger than they actually are.
Joke. Well, the pattern does make one look bigger. But I do love the mosaic print of this cute BCBG dress, found for $5.99 at Canadian Thrift. I wore it with a hot pink knit bolero and sassy strappy heels.
The neat thing: I work in Toronto's design district on Wingold Ave., where all the fashion brands wholesale to retailers. I walked into a cafe for lunch today and a woman said, "That's BCBG. I sold that dress to stores in 1992."
Who would have thought? The dress is in such great shape, and so stylishly applicable, that I thought it was somewhat current. Wonder if the BCBG brand is so timeless and as good a quality today?
You look adorable! I thrift a ton of BCBG too. They are timeless....oh and please...what hips :)?!

ReplyDeleteDeeAnna, the only other BCBG item I thrifted was a pink studded bag I gave to my teenager niece, which she still loves and gets comments on!
ReplyDeleteThanks Stacey Kay!
Veronica, that is, indeed, me! I thought she was going to do a link to my blog, but oh well! I had so much fun working with Nicole (have written on her in the past) and I LOVE her new Parkdale location! Do you shop there?
BTW, I AM a twin (though my sis and I are fraternal)!!!
