In preparation for my upcoming move to another apartment, I filtered through my closet and purged an impressive amount of stuff. Most of it was donated, but I took some of the better items to a local buy/sell/trade store. I was planning to be a good girl and just take the cash rather than trading for more clothes, but then I saw this beauty hanging high up on the wall, beaming down at me.
I couldn't resist its rich mustard yellow color and architectural layered panels. I almost didn't get it because it was a bit too big, but I figured it would be easy to alter. Turns out a belt does wonders. If I decide to wear it as a baby doll, I will take it in on the sides.
I love the bright blue exposed zipper so much, I'm seriously considering wearing the dress backwards some time.
Dress: Shu Lami, Arizona Trading Company, $30 // Fedora: Target, $12 // Belt: Vintage, thrifted, $1 // Shoes: Vintage, thrifted, $6
I promised myself I would save it for some kind of occasion, but of course I couldn't wait. I wore it right away for dinner and a drink downtown. I'm sure I'll get a lot of use out of it, and next time I'll get some pictures in better lighting!
As you can see, I'm pretty enamored. Do you guys like it as much as I do?
