Fade to Green

Thrifted Lucky Brand maxi dress; Jessica Simpson Dany platforms;
Vintage belt, necklaces, and bracelet; Forever 21 and Amrita Singh rings


I'm trying to get some sunshine pictures in before Fall comes and everything turns gray for 8+ months! The one thing I love most about summer is the sunshine, and I really do want to take as much advantage of it as I can before my favorite season comes and sunlight becomes scarce.

Would you believe it if I told you this entire outfit (minus the shoes) cost ~$10? The dress was a $2 garage sale find, and the belt cost $5 at an estate sale. Both necklaces and the bracelet were
bought off ebay in jewelry lots, so I probably paid less than $1 for each piece. I know it's a little dweeby, but I really love the thrill of finding a gem in the midst of tons of trash! The shoes cost a little bit more, but ohhhhh are they worth it! I think I'm in love with them - at least, now that I've broken them in a bit.

Also, don't forget to enter my giveaway this week - a shredded tee from Urban Revisions!
