When I found this dress at Salvation Army-I WAS SHOCKED. Let me just tell you, it was only $8! I was shocked and stunned and probably wet myself a little when I grabbed it off the rack (they had just tagged it that same day!). I ended up spending $41.. Alright- well, at least I can admit that I have a problem.. right? Can't wait to show you what else I found!!
This dress had a few slight spots on it that I could tell were minimal work to clean so I bought the dress anyway- (who wouldn't for $8??). The wedges are Jeffrey Campbell from Modcloth, and my grandmother Kutch gave me the rhinestone necklace (even though you can't really see it).
This was my breakfast a few days ago!
hope you have a wonderful day! I'm opening at Dandelion Vintage today ALL BY MYSELF! Lawd! I hope I don't set off the alarm or royally mess something up. We did a new display the other day that I can't wait to show you! Styling the mannequins is just my favorite thing ever!!
love, polly :)

The Darjeeling Limited is one of my favorites, I have seen it at least 20 times! It seems as though you have great taste in everything, haha!

Those blue wedges are ah-ma-zing! I wouldn't expect them to be paired with a vintage dress, but it looks wonderful! :)

Wow I cant believe it was such a steal! Great find to say the least. You look gorgeous in it, it fits you like a glove. I love when that happens. Good luck opening. I used to work at a vintage shop and would always get all sketched out if. The morning worried about the alarm. Love the new post
All my best,
Jessica
you look so prim and proper in that dress and the shoes add a nice kick. A+ outfit in my book!
That dress is so beautiful! You have such lovely photos.

I hope everything went smoothly at work! Your dress is amazing.... and for such a great deal!
I have already bought my tickets to that festival. Do you think you will go?!
You are adorable Polly! That dress is quite an amazing find and looks made for you. The boots are the perfect compliment. I'm always quite inspired by your use of color in your outfits:)
$8 is such a steal!!

That dress is SO. KILLER. Never underestimate the ever-so-often goodwill find of epic proportions! The color! The cut! The bow!
That dress is PERFECT!
Those shoes! SOOO CUTE!
I just wanted to say that I am smitten with your Tomato painting! Such beautiful work!
I love that film! It's so strange and raw and peculiar and amazing. I have to agree, the soundtrack is great, it had me from the start. I particularly like the Typewriter Tiptiptip song though, that can always cheer me up.
I am jealous of your blue JC's, lucky girl. And great thrift find, omg! I really need to do me some thrifting soon.
Omg, that dress is soo amazing. I'm in love with the entire outfit, really, the shoes go with the dress so well, and they're so obnoxiously blue. <3
The song is pretty freakin' great. I really want to watch the movie now.
i know! the movie is so fantastic<3
