blocks of color

This dress is one of my all time favorite thrifted purchases, hence the enormous smile on my face.
It's not exactly my size, so I mask its "bigness" with a denim jacket...
and a thrifted belt.

Maybe one day I'll get it altered and go jacketless (never beltless).
But for now, this will do :)

wearing: thrifted dress & belt, f21 jacket, steve madden shoes, michael kors tortoise watch

    I love the colors and it's even better that it's thrifted! I love the dainty little shoes with dress too, are they suede?

    I agree with opting for a belt, gives it a nice touch.

    that is such a fun sheath dress! The cut looks simple, I'm sure it would be easy to have it tailored and really fit to flatter your tiny frame.

    Chic on the Cheap

    This dress is a good find. I love thrifting! I mask bigness with my GAP jean jacket, cardigans or anything else I can find including belts.
