A Thrifted Dress - Remixed

Hello Beauties!

Let's keep it real for a second...  Who else is on a budget besides me?  Since I'm on a budget, I try to get the most out of clothing I do purchase.  Because of this, I often shop the clearance racks and take advantage of thrifting.  Today I chose to remix a dress I thrifted last year for only $3.50.  Did she say $3.50?!  Yes, I did!

I originally wore the dress in December with boots to make it winter appropriate, but today, I swapped out the boots for platform sandals and a belt to accentuate my waist.





The Look

Dress:  Thrifted
Belt:  Thrifted
Earrings:  Haute37


How do you get the most out of your wardrobe?

God bless & stay fabellis!

    I can't stand you and all your fabulousness.so, when I visit we must go thrifting to make it up. Yes?! Love the fit, very cute. I'll take this dress when you're done.

    I am definitely on a budget with wedding planning so I try to make sure I can wear items three different ways before I purchase them now. Love this look! -Style4Curves

    I love the dress, I went thrifting recenlty, I got some really nice stuff. It's a lot of work to find the perfect things when thrifting but it's worth it.

    Thanks lady! I never thought about trying to wear them three different ways but that makes sense!

    Thanks so much! I try to limit my thrifting to once a month, but it's HARD!

    You are so silly! What am I going to do with you? Thank you! Of course, we can go thrifting. It would be my pleasure! :-)

    LOL! Thanks Alisha. This dress naturally accentuates the waist anyway. A shift dress would be perfect on you.

    Wow!!! That's great! I love the look and the price!
    I am beginning to thrift shop more myself. That was a motivator for me to keep at it!

    Thanks!
