$6 Polka Dot Dress

I picked up this polka dot dress for $6 at the thrift store the other day. I will probably be too lazy to get around to taking a picture of me wearing it in real life, so y'all will have to settle for this fitting room shot.



I wear it with a cardigan and some combat boots right now because it's cold, but I think it will be a great little dress for the summer. 

Thank you, thrift store, for always being there for me when I've have an irritating day at work and need to participate in some retail therapy but can't afford to actually spend money.

$5 Grey and Cream Stripe

I picked this dress up at the thrift store for $5. It had shoulder pads, and there was a makeup stain on the collar. 


I cut out the shoulder pads, and I was able to remove the makeup. 


I've never heard of this brand before. Also, I don't know in what universe this dress is a size six, but I like it.

Black and White Stripe Dress


I picked this dress up for probably $4 last year.

I wanted to make it a little more wearable for summer. I had already shortened the sleeves a bit from their original state. I also added a little snap at the top of the collar so that it's got a high collar instead of a v-neck type collar. 

For summer I decided to hem up the skirt a bit. I didn't cut anything, because I haven't decided if I want to leave it this short. I do like the original length quite a lot, so I'm not committed to the hemming yet. It is totally great now for summer, though!
