weekend thrifting


... well, last weekend thrifting is more like it. That was when I scored this cutie at a local op shop. Until then, I had been going through a bit of a thrifting dry spell. Weeks, maybe months, had gone by without any good thrift finds. So finding this black and white dress for $5 last Saturday pretty much made up for it! The leaves print are more than perfect for autumn, and the lace collar (!!!) is the icing on the cake. Love!

    That collar is particularly darling!
    I really need to get out and about for some bargain buys myself.

    Great thrifted find. I do like the lace around the collar too. I haven't been thrifting in a long time. Too much money spent on Asos!
