Thrifted Dress: Perfect for Any Occasion
When I found this dress late April, I knew right away that the style would be versatile and perfect for any type of occasion. Think birthday party, baptism, wedding, graduation and even on a simple Sunday. The only thing you need to change to create some diversity and maybe dress it up a little more for one occasion or another is change your accessories. A purse, a shoe, your jewelry will instantly create a new look.
Of course for colder days, you can also add a top layer like a denim jacket or a moto jacket. I think this is one of those dresses that can be worn year round. I first wore it to Sunday church and then to one of my son’s scholarship banquet. That day, I just change my sandals for a flatter pair and carried my circle straw bag.
While these shoes are high (Target, last year), they are very comfortable to wear thanks to the block heel. I almost didn’t buy this purse when I was at Goodwill in Arizona because I am picky about my purses, but I really like it. The gold zippers are fun and keep things organized.
The embroidered cuff from Just Be Youtiful boutique is a perfect compliment to the dress and purse. Another item that I hesitated about, but am loving!
I even wore my pink aviators: I had almost forgotten about these because they are not the sunglasses I usually wear when driving or playing outside.
I received several compliments on my dress: I don’t wear pink very often but this is the perfect bubblegum color! The length is perfect to be appropriate for anything and I love where the waist is as well as the snap to keep the wrap modest!

The dress has enough details on its own that it does need much!

Mireille, I think you should wear this dress over and over again! It is just the most beautiful shade of pink, and yes, you should wear pink a lot, too! I love the floral cuff and purse, too! Stunning look!

You and your great thrifted finds. So jealous. The eyelet dress I am featuring next month for Ageless Style has given up the ghost. The elastic in the smocking is losing its stretch. So I am on the lookout for a new eyelet dress or skirt. The fabric in your dress reminds me of a cross between eyelet and dotted Swiss. Great bubble gum pink and your legs look a-mazing with those block heel sandals.

It’s not always a success story with my thrifting: sometimes I buy things that I end up donating back or there are several outings with no finds. I will say, I have found some great things the last few years!
