Thrifty Threads: The $10 Dress Perfect for Any Occasion

  Thrifty Threads: The $10 Dress Perfect for Any Occasion After taking a shopping hiatus, it’s safe to say I’m back in the swing of things. Instead of just buying stuff, I’m only purchasing clothes and accessories I love. Not like, not kinda sorta love, but LOVE!
When I found this colorful dress at Fox & Fawn a few weeks ago, I knew she deserved a space in my closet. At $10 she was a winner and the fit was absolute perfection. Like, she was made for me.

Last year I did a massive closet clean out because I only wanted clothes I loved and/or that serve my personal style. Since then I’ve refused to place anything in my closet that doesn’t make me feel fabulous.
This colorful A-line dress makes me feel amazing and it represents my overall style: flirty, feminine, sweet and bold!

I paired the fun dress with a few other thrift finds: a denim jacket I’ve had since forever and a pair of earrings from Mobile Vintage.
Also, though I love a good heel, I’ve found myself leaning towards booties and comfy sneakers. These canvas sneakers from Payless were just $15 and work with everything from skinny jeans to skirts and dresses of all lengths. And that’s actually a major trend now: dresses + sneakers. I plan on buying another pair of these {the Payless cashier gave me a $10 off coupon!} or one of the colorful, printed pairs I recently Instagrammed at Target.
This look is perfect for a casual day when you still want to be cute! But it can also be dressed up and make a major statement due to the bright hues. This is really the best of both worlds: casual and cool.
What was your last thrift store score? Do you have a go-to look for a casual chic weekend?

    I love the look, especially with the sneakers! Planning a trip to Payless next week, may have to pick up a pair.

      Thanks! I’ve been wearing these sneakers for almost a week straight now. They’re really comfortable. I want to see if they have them in other colors as well, because white gets dirty so fast!

      Also, if you’re not signed up for Payless’ rewards program, you might want to check it out. Coupons!

    I love that cute dress. And yes it looks great on you. I am very close to doing a massive closet clean out myself. I too think it’s important to wear things you love and that look flattering on you.

      Thanks Jan!

      Cleaning out my closet was pretty time consuming, but it really was the best thing I did for myself. It really does make you focus on only wearing things you love and that make you look and feel your best.
