I got this awesome dress for $10 (including shipping from Hawaii!) from my friend Camille of The Corner Sweetheart. I don't know if it's a vintage dress or an Asian dress that's fronting like it's vintage, but either way, it's super adorable. I got the shoes and bracelet on my most recent trip to Value Village. I'm not so sure about the shoes though. As cute as they are, they are too small. They are vintage Tender Tootsies and are marked a size 8 but they feel closer to a 7. I know this because I parade around in size 7 shoes. Often.
I recently opened an account on Trend Trunk (it's sort of a Canadian version of Poshmark) so don't be too surprised if you see these babies pop up there in the next few days!
Twirling when your tripod is a foot away is impossible to do without falling out of the frame.

In other thrifty news, many online stores have begun their Black Friday festivities early! I haven't been able to participate as much as I like because of lack of funds (although I do get paid before the Modcloth sale ends!) I thought I would show not only my top picks of Modcloth items, but my top picks of sales.
All of the Following Items Are From Modcloth.com
1) You Bow the Spot Socks - sale price $5.99
2) Presh is More Heel in Grey - sale price $31.99
3) Too Much Fun Dress in Tile - sale price $39.99
4) Hayride Tradition Sweater in Blue sale price - $29.99

Note, making wishlists is dangerous. In the end, I ended up buying the grey shoes, the red shirt and both pieces of jewelry. Hahah, but that's not surprising, right?
As for other sales, EShakti is having 30% off the entire site right now. Lulu*s is taking baby steps in their sale tactics and is having a Thanksgiving Day promotion with 15% off sitewide, but I'm sure there's more on the horizon. DollsKill have discounted a huge portion of their merchandise (my favourite are these mushroom shoes and these Hello Kitty Creepers) and Unique Vintage is also having 25% off everything (including sale items!) Happy shopping everybody! It's certainly better than being out in the cold, waiting for a Black Friday sale to drop at a big box store! Talk soon!

I hate the cold too! It really just slows me down and it makes outfit posts harder to do.
ReplyDeleteThat said, good for you for being resourceful! Love the dress - it's so cute and pretty! :]

I love that you matched everything to your dress. Those shoes are stunning.
ReplyDeleteI'm a little anal about matching things. I see other people do the mismatch look and I think it looks really cute on them but I just can't do it. I attempted to wear purple tights with a navy dress last night and I "almost" went there but it felt all wrong. My sister and mom dress the same way so I know it runs in the family!
