Rockin' the Recession

June 25, 2009
Two days ago, my sister-in-law and I went to D. I. to search for some new vintage dresses. Shelley truly has the eye for finding sweet stuff! I had a hard time not buying all of the dresses I tried on and this particular dress is just awesome. It's sheer, flowy and ruffly; perfect for all of the latest summer fashions. One problem, it had bishop sleeves and I have a hard time pulling them off. _dsc1812sm In just a few minutes, I chopped the sleeve off and made a short pleated sleeve. I've fallen in love all over again with my new summer dress. The best part?!? This entire ensemble was under $15: Dress: $4 (Deseret Industries) Belt: $9 (Forever 21) Shoes: Free (Payless--won them on a giveaway)
