So this weekend I was in Egg Harbor Twp, NJ. I was supposed to be out there working when due to events beyond my control, I didn’t have to go to work! So what did I do, I went shoping!!! There was a Goodwill store close by and I thought to myself, since I don’t have to work…I should head to the beach and relax for the day, and that’s what I did! Before I did that, I had to get something cool and confortable to walk around in (all I had was my work clothes) so in to the Goodwill store I walked….
…and that’s where I found this dress (the yellow belt isn’t part of the dress, I added that). It was priced at $3.99. I thought it was more than reasonable (didn’t know it was a designer dress at the time) and I took the dress, tried it on (it fit perfectly) and proceeded to the counter to pay for the dress. When I got to the counter I saw they give you an extra 15% off if you have a High School or College ID, luckily I STILL carry my college ID around for moments like this! lol Never know what discounts it will bring!!! After the total was all rung up, I ended up paying $3.39 for the dress!
After I got home, I decided to do some further examination of the dress and that’s where I actually looked at the tag… It was a Proenza Schouler dress, from around 2007/2008 from what I gather. I assumed that it was part of the Target GO INTERNATIONAL DESIGNER COLLECTIVE from that time, but I was unable to find this dress among that collection.
I just thought I’d share this. Never know what you’ll find at the thrift store!!!
Special thanks to my MOM for taking these pictures! 🙂
I can’t wait until the month of May get to the point where warm weather begins to be a constant staple of everyday life. I sooooo can’t wait to break out the MINI DRESSES!!!!! I love showing leg in the summer! Mini Dresses are just so effortlessly sexy and free, Ive already got a few looks in mind that I am going to add to my wardrobe. All of the designers have great looks, but I don’t have a designer budget so check out this video of the designer looks then check out my Forever 21 picks below and tell me what you think!
What will your staple of the summer be this year?
