Thrifting adventures: Dress shopping


One of my favorite things to thrift shop for are dresses.  I feel like I only wear a fancy dress once or twice before I get rid of it so I don't want to have to spend an arm and a leg for it.  

I have a couple weddings to go to this year so I've been trying to find something new to wear to them.  I also would like to find more comfy spring/summer dresses.  I used to have a bunch of them but I think they may have been donated by mistake....oops!

I took all of my photos in this post with my camera phone, so some of them didn't turn out to great.  Sorry about that!!  Also, be warned that I have a pretty mean RBF (resting bitch face)... you are forewarned! LOL!


Dress #1:  I really liked how this dress fit, but I felt like it was just a bit too short.  I actually pulled it down a bit just to take this picture. lol!  This one got left at the store.


Dress #2:  If you couldn't tell by my less than excited face in this picture, I was not a fan of how this one fit.  It bunched really strange in the bust.  This one go left behind in the store too.


Dress #3:  This red dress is actually an Express dress and the material is super soft and fit great.  Perfect little Spring/Summer dress. Bought $4.99


Dress #4:  This one was a New York & Company dress that fit okay, but I felt like I had something similar at home and I just wasn't overly excited by it.  Left it at the store.


Dress #5:  I saw this fun Loft dress on the rack, and really loved the colors so I thought I would give it a try.  It was a small but seemed really big on me.  Left it at the store.


Dress #6:  I saw this pretty navy dress and instantly loved it.  The detailing on the shoulder and waist was so pretty.  I have no idea where I will wear it but I bought this one for half off!  Only $3.99!  You can't beat that!!  I have a wedding to go to in September so maybe I will wear it there...or is it too fancy??  What do you think?

Total spent: $8.98 for 2 dresses!

Do you think I made good choices?  Is there something I should have kept but didn't?
