Sale Rack Saga

You all know I'm a serious bargain-hunter, but sometimes that can backfire. Often, I will cruise the sale rack or thrift store and buy items just because they're cheap. I'll say to myself, "I like this. I'll wear it at least once. And it's only $5!" Then I end up with heaps of stuff that I'm just so-so about instead of one or two items I truly love. Anyway, this dress was a mindless sale rack purchase, but I have faith that it was a worthwhile one! Sure, it's trendy, but it's also pretty basic, and I never tire of stripes! I wore it right after bringing it home on Friday evening to check out some local art openings. Only time will tell if it's a true keeper. And either way, I'm only out the price of a cocktail.
