$7 Dress


It's so interesting that it's almost painful to look at!

Since I'm moving in two weeks and I'm not emotionally attached to enough of my belongings to haul them 800 miles, I've been going through and either trashing or donating a lot of things. Yesterday I dropped off another huge bag of clothes at Goodwill, and decided to go inside and look for some cheap new clothes I could experiment with. I did hit the jackpot after about half an hour of digging- two retro-looking dresses that together cost $14. The other dress will be blogged about once I've had time to do something to it.

The retro dress took a lot of staring at by me to decide what to do to it. I liked the cut of the neckline and the print. Hated the sleeves.

Horrible photo. I don't really look like a purple elephant, I swear.

With my awesome seam ripper I was able to remove the sleeves without bothering the rest of the dress. I also *ahem* lowered the front a little for some cleavage showcasing.

It was almost painfully bright outside. That's New Mexico for you. Go watch a western.

And that was all I had to do to add an exciting new dress to my summer wardrobe for nearly free. And versatile- I had a cami underneath for everyday stuff, or I could ditch the cami for boob-appropriate events, like barhopping nights!

The muffin I ate was delicious too.
