Dress Form Outfit #21

Memorial Day is less than two weeks away, meaning that everyone will have a long weekend to gather with family and friends for cookouts, parties, and mini-vacations. I think this one-piece short set will make the perfect cookout outfit. It’s shorts, it’s light-weight, and it’s comfortable for standing around in the heat or under a shade tree. I purchased this black one-piece romper at the Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughter Thrift Store in Kitty Hawk, N.C. I paired it with an animal print belt and a long silver necklace. Of course, the outfit wouldn’t be complete without a cute (and comfortable) pair […]

Dress Form Outfit #20

This colorful, silky soft dress (made of 94% polyester and 6% spandex) is another one of my thrift store finds. I purchased it for $4.49 at the Goodwill in Kitty Hawk, N.C. My husband really likes this mini-dress because it skims the body perfectly! I would pair this dress with a light blue/turqouise or a pale yellow cardigan and a sweet pair of like-colored  kitten heels or mules, or a pair of nude heels. This is not a pattern I usually wear, but something about it caught my eye and thankfully it fit (even if it says it’s a size 6). In addition […]

Dress Form Outfit #19

This blue and white striped boat-neck mini dress was a great find at the Goodwill in Kitty Hawk, NC. It is from the GAP and was $4.59! It is so comfortable and I’ve worn it several times since I brought it home a couple of weeks ago! It has three-quarter length sleeves and hits mid-thigh (I’m 5’8″)… kind of short, but it covers my arse well enough and I know how to bend over like a lady. (I don’t bend over. I squat with my knees together – like a lady should!) Have a fabulous “thrifty” week!

Dress Form Outfit #18

Last week I went to the Outer Banks in North Carolina with my husband.  Neither of us had been there before and luckily we had a few hours one afternoon so we hit up a couple of thrift stores in the Kitty Hawk area. I gave myself a $25 Thrift Store Challenge, meaning I could only spend $25 total at one or more thrift stores. Luckily, I ended up with five great pieces from two different thrift stores. This week’s Dress Form Outfit features one of those fabulous finds! At The Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughter Thrift Store, located in Kitty Hawk, […]

Dress Form Outfit #17

This week’s dress form outfit features a black tank top and a olive green pencil skirt. I don’t think you’d need a necklace since the tank top has an embellished neckline, but feel free to pile on the thin bracelets and a simple pair of gold hoop earrings. To make this a “work appropriate” outfit, slip on a pair of black high heels and a cardigan. To make this outfit work for the weekend, slip on a pair of Tory Burch elastic high wedge espadrilles and toss on a denim jacket! I purchased the H&M olive green pencil skirt at the Unclaimed Baggage Center(http://unclaimedbaggage.com) in Scottoboro, AL. It […]
