I bought this dress as a late-birthday-present to myself, just after Christmas, and I've been having a hard time wearing it. I love it: the length, the gauzy-ness, the poppies... (I'm a sucker for poppies). I ended up pretty pleased with this outfit, though. The dark stockings and scarf keep everything from looking washed-out, a good thing.
Posting the run-down of this outfit has really made me notice how much of a thrift store junkie I am. It rocks. I scored this cardigan (and another just like it, in white) at a yard sale last May for $1.50 each. The shoes (and I never find shoes!) were at Salvation Army's half-off day two weeks ago, for two bucks. The scarf, I believe, was four or five dollars at an upper-end thrift store in Ithaca. Yee doggies.
Anyone have any great thrift scores to share? What's the best, most exciting, most ridiculous deal/item/story you have related to thrifting or yard saling? I bet there's some good ones...

that dress is super pretty! i have those issues, too, with clothes i was so excited about buying and then don't know quite how they fit into my closet...that dress will be perfect in the summer though!
LOVE the dress!
Thanks gals! I'm looking forward to summer, too.
Love how you styled the dress! I have probably too many good thrifting scores to share :) I am a thrifting junkie! My favorites: scoring a Givenchy silk scarf for $8, a pair of designer ($300) shoes for $30. (Probably the most I've paid at a thrift store!) I also treasure my wine colored leather blazer for $10 that goes with everything. I think I care more about my thrifted clothes than my "regular" clothes, because they truly are irreplacable!
Laura Elaine, I'm with you on the "irreplacable" thing. Those shoes sound like a real, big-time, serious score. Way to go.
I love the outfit--and I love thrift stores! We have one called "Poor Little Rich Girl" and another called "Second Time Around." I bought several D&G silk scarves for an insanely good price once!
yard sale steamer, $2!! i use it ALL the time. :-) i'd say about 90 percent of my clothing is now vintage/thrift/yard sale/clothing swap!!
pippa do you live in somerville? i remember those exact stores!!
