Ah, red. That oh so bright hue that you either love to rock or it's just too bright for your taste. I'm one who fully embraces color so when I found a pair of red pants at the Goodwill Outlet {clothing is priced at $1.69/lb}, I grabbed them with a quickness. Even in a bin full of clothing it was hard to miss them! I threw them in my basket unsure if I'd actually purchase them. As much as I love color, red pants are a bit much. And could I pull off high waisted pants? I finally decided I needed them in my life.

I'm a sucker for pleats and pockets and a bright hue.

A few months ago I gave you guys a little peek at a dress I found from the Salvation Army and judging from the comments, you love her! She's a bright emerald hue, has a paisley pattern and is 100 percent silk. Oh yeah, and she's vintage and only cost $5!

Here's a closer look at her and how I snagged such an amazing find.I'm a frequent shopper at the Salvation Army on 46th St {between 10th and 11th avenues} since the store is so well organized. If I'm looking for jeans, I know to head to the racks near the front of the store. If I want a black skirt, I go to the middle of the skirt rack where everything is color coordinated. So imagine how excited I was when I walked in and found a new section specifically for vintage frocks.The options were pretty limited, I think there were about a dozen or so pieces, but I immediately noticed the bright colored dress. It's really the little details that make this frock such a gem. And the price tag wasn't bad either.

I'm normally not a fan of patterns but this one is subtle and gorgeous.
