So they say the recession is over, well I'm not sure who "they" are but my personal portfolio isnt looking any better then it did last year. I love to shop but hey my budget says heck no. I'm a bit of bunkie (brand junkie) but these days my funds wont permit buying new this and that. I hit up one of my old stomping grounds the Goodwill, and my sisters I was not dissappointed by the selection. I found so many pieces suitable for deconstruction and some that were just ready to go as is. I'm sure you remember the style of dress from the "Leave it to Beaver" days well maybe you don't I barely do. That's what these dresses reminded me of. Tons of old school stripped and floral button down dresses with belts and cinched waists. I bought 2 for under 10 bucks! Yes!
I have my heart set on going back tomorrow to buy this sequined tank dress and a gold mesh top I was stalking. I'm going to take a pic of the one dress that I could actually fit and I've still got some surgery to do on the other one. Please note that neither were my size in the tag so just remember its not about that its about can you make it work for your body frame. Sometimes you can and sometimes you can't but at least try it on if you really love it.
The one that I really loved has an animal print which is one of my go to looks and a nice collar and belt. The butt and hips I'm working with made it hard to get on, and I almost lost a eye trying. I'm going to do some adjustments on the elastic waist and try to loosen it up some, the belt will cover up any snafus I have with the thread and needle:) I'll keep you posted, literally...I know...boo.
