criss cross

09 July 2009









Have I mentioned how much I love Goodwill? I found this dress and bag both while on a mission to find reasonable and inexpensive clothing in the deep depths of endless garments. I do not know what it is but lately I have had the best of luck when thrifting. Maybe it's fates attempt to tell me to not spend money and save, save, save for London!

wearing: thrifted dress and bag; f21 necklaces

Unknown said...

I cannot believe you found these two things at a thrift store! The thrifting gods must have been looking after you that day. The back of the dress is an especially amazing exit.

Georgia said...

SCORE!
(on finding that dress)
the dress is so adorable, with great detailing
i love the high you get after buying from charity shops, the rush of generosity and excitement from the find.
or is that just me?

It would be mine

Ela said...

I do love thrifting at Goodwill, but it's hit and miss. Glad this trip was a score for you! Looks fab, like you've had it all along :)

Good find..It's pretty and the criss-cross at the back looks great and adds a stylish touch. Similar styles of designers are equally gorgeous, and glad that you found a cheaper one. You might want to check it out:Designer Clothes Online

I would use the bra clip for wearing a bra under this dress.
