I love the knife pleats on this vintage dress. When I picked it up during the Black Friday haul, my eyes lit up. I imagined myself twirling in it! It has such a flirty shape. As I said before, I am thinking of chopping it into just a skirt. I haven't decided yet so I'm wearing it with a sweater over it. The fabric is really thin. It works as a skirt, yes?
I was also able to work the Anne Klein skinny belt into my outfit. That is until I ate several tacos then it took up residence in my bag.
This is the only thrifted Coach bag I haven't sold. It is one of my favorite finds.
I had forgotten about my $5 black cardigan. It was hidden in the black hole that is my closet. Well worth every penny. I wore the sh*.. it a lot last year. It's starting to peel a bit. Time to search for another.
I've seen this exact sweater in a couple of different colors. They've never made it home with me because I'm trying to stop buying duplicate items. Now that I need a replacement I'm sure to never spot one again.

My weekend involved tacos with good friends. How about you? Did you end up with a belt in your bag?

I love how the all black lets the print really stand out. You styled this perfectly!

I love that skirt!!! Posts like this makes me wish I thrifted more often. I love thrifting for dresses but I should really start looking at bags and accessories too.
Why am I never this lucky at the thrift store? And I have an eye... for other people....
Yup, it does work as a skirt. I'm trying not to buy duplicates, too. At least you know that your style is consistent if you're attracted to the same things over and over, haha!
I love this look! Definitely works as a skirt! I wouldn't have ever known! Nice find!

Perfect!
Gorg! I really like the colors in your "skirt-dress" ;-)
I love this! Your skirt is amazing!
This is a cute outfit!!!
Ahahaha I've totally ended up with my belt in my bag before! I love the dress as a skirt, and it's one of my favorite "double your wardrobe" tricks. Love the pattern on this dress... pretty and unique, but it still works with a lot. Great find (as always, haha)!
The black tights totally let the skirt's colors pop! Love it!
