With help, I just barely am able to squeeze into this beauuuuutiful vintage dress (in perfect condition too!) that I found last Saturday at Deseret Industries. It was $4. FOUR DOLLARS. Most fast food sandwiches cost more than this dress. Just as well since I probably shouldn't consume any if I want to continue to wear this, ahaha.
It was the first time that I had been to Deseret Industries since 2007 or 2008 and after spending about an hour in there and coming out with a most excellent haul for $20 (that included a neon pink monster fur hat with kitty ears), I wasn't sure why I hadn't returned earlier.
The color of the dress is more true-to-life in the picture below.
Details:
Vintage dusty rose velvet dress - thrifted
Vintage feather fascinator - thrifted
Dragonfly brooch - thrifted
Calvin Klein knee-high nylons - thrifted
Ivory leather dress shoes - Clarks (thrifted)
Sunglasses - Tres Noir (ebay)

Hi and thanks, Helga! I added you and holy crap, I love your colorful and fearless vintage looks. Can I be you? haha.
DeleteI think I got lucky at Deseret Industries this time. From what I recall, they had mostly washed out looking ankle-length dresses from the 90s - the bad kind. Did you at least get nice cardigans?
