More Than You Care to Know

I bought this dress earlier this summer, but haven't worn it as often as I wanted to. After wearing it the first time, I realized there were a few rips along the seams and hem.

Before I go on, let me say that was a mistake on my part. I should have inspected the dress better. What were you thinking, Natalie?!?

Oh yeah, that it was $10 and fit perfectly.

I didn't want to make the rips any worse, so I put the dress in my "alterations" pile, where it sat for a few weeks until I finally got around to it. I guess I sort of forgot about it after I brought it home because it's been fixed for a few weeks now. I can't believe I forgot about such a pretty dress!

And that's today's story about why it's sometimes unfortunate to have as many clothes as I do. I can't help that I love options!

On Wednesday, I wore a Chestnut Street dress from Buffalo Exchange, a belt from Goodwill, and L.e.i. wedges from Walmart. 

Sometimes I Even Amaze Myself

I'm a few days late posting this outfit. I wore it to work last Friday, but haven't had a chance to post it until today. I guess I celebrated the Fourth of July weekend a little too hard.

I'm really proud of this outfit because it was completely thrifted. This 100% silk dress looked like it had never been worn and only cost $9.99. These pink slingbacks (only $3.97!) were a steal considering I've already worn them a couple of times in the mere two weeks I've had them. I don't think I've ever bought shoes for so cheap, unless you count the $1 flip-flops from Old Navy. I don't think you can compare those, though.

On Friday, I wore an August Silk dress from the Baytown Goodwill and Pappagallo shoes from a Family Thrift Center in east Houston.

Check out who was spying on me while I was taking these pictures. Sneaky cats! 

 

This was my reaction when I saw them.

Hey, you crazy cats! 

A Current Obsession

I've been seeing these high waisted red shorts everywhere. At least three different girls walked into Cream Vintage wearing similar ones while I was working Friday and Saturday. I really liked seeing other people style them in their own way. It definitely gave me a lot of ideas!

I've got to say, I've never been so happy to be following a trend. You wouldn't think such bright shorts could be so neutral, but they really go with everything. I have to stop myself from wearing them too often. I don't want them to fade, but I can't really expect them to last for very long because they were only $10.

On Wednesday, I wore Forever 21 shorts, a tank top from Goodwill (altered at Cream Vintage), a necklace from Sassen Boutique (bought at Le Garage Sale), and Sam Edelman sandals.
