I mentioned on Monday that I'd thrifted a crazy green dress. This is it! This dress and I were meant for each other. The bright colour called out to me from the rack, and it was in my hands not 3 feet in the store. I washed it and wore it to work Monday (hence my excitement over it that day) and boy was it a hit. I got a bunch of compliments, which is always a great way to start a week.

Dress - Thrifted from the Salvation Army

Shoes - Thrifted from the Salvation Army

Purse - Aldo

And on top of this dress being my size, its belt was still with it! Score! And then there's the back of the dress... ! (Can you sense my excitement?!!!)

Buttons down the back! I usually avoid button-back clothes like the plague, but these are big and sturdy and actually super easy to do up by myself.

I of course had my hair up that day since it was a scorcher. (I finally have my hair down today, since it is oddly now half as hot as it was yesterday.) I know, wearing a long dress probably wasn't the brightest idea, but it actually wasn't so bad! The dress breathes well and I was quite comfortable even walking outside over lunch.

Sorry for another photo of me from behind, but it's the only one where you can clearly see my purse that actually turned out nicely. Maybe it was a lunatic move to pair such a colourfully patterned purse with an already bright dress, but I felt like there was too much uniformity of colour going on not to. And hey, my shoes were modest!

Speaking of shoes... I've been dreaming of shoes. Wandering the mall at my lunch break, trying on shoes. Oggling shoes online. But I have no money for shoes. No money for much of anything really, not for a while, argh. It's annoying, but I know once I can actually go out and buy a pair of shoes, I will enjoy them all the more for having waited to buy them.

Anyhow, I hope you are all having a good week! Cheers!
