The easiest outfit to put together is one that consists of a dress! Seriously, the days where I honestly don’t feel like creating an outfit, I quickly reach for a dress. If you simply add some accessories and a pair of cute shoes, you can be set in no time.
You may remember that I recently visited New York City. Of course, I had to show some love to a few great thrift spots in the City. I found this simple but absolutely flattering pink dress at Unique in the Bronx. There are several locations in the City by the way.
I paid $8.99 for the dress and would probably have paid more. The dress fits me like a glove, as though it was custom made for me. Perfect length, perfect fit — and pockets! Always winning when a dress has pockets.
A thrift tip here for my readers. Try on everything that you purchase from a thrift store. Case in point. The label was removed from this dress. I don’t know who made this dress (it’s not homemade) and had no clue what size the dress was. But, always following my golden rule to try on everything, I was very happy to see just how beautiful it looked on me. Glad I didn’t pass it up because of some missing tags.
As the dress is pretty simple, I wanted to jazz it up with my heels and accessories. I choose my white, animal print heels that I got on sale at Victoria Secrets for $29.99. They previously were used in styling some dressy jogging pants here. These pumps are still proving to be one my best retail purchases as they are so versatile and a statement piece whenever I wear them.
I also bought this cute Express floral clutch from Unique at the time I bought the dress. The clutch was only $3.99. I have a serious addiction to clutches as I think they simply add a glam to every outfit for me.
Finishing the look are the yellow and gold drop earrings. I went with these earrings from Charming Charlie (only $5 on clearance) because of my very short hair cut. With this hair cut, I tend to want to wear larger earrings for some effect! These earrings are bring that effect for me here. Would you agree?
The dress is so pretty especially the button details on the chest. There is always something cool with dresses with pockets, it just fell so comfy
Looking beautiful in this colour, it is one of my favourtes. Such super shoes also.
What a cute dress, love the buttons in the front.
