Pocket of News

I have a little pocket of breaking news to share. I'm going to be blogging as a Chic Beauty Member for Beauty and the Budget! You should totally go check out this awesome website that's all about dressing stylishly on a budget! I'm honored to be amongst all the other amazing fashion bloggers! We will be posting outfits that will feature at least 3 items under $100! If there's one thing I love, it's a good bargain!
Like this dress for example..........

So, here's the story behind the dress: Well, Anthropologie is pretty much my favorite store of all time. As crazy as it sounds though, I'd never actually bought anything there (I know, it's such a crazy, sad thing!) I guess I'm just such a cheapo! The only reason I usually ever go in there is to get inspiration. The store just makes me feel so good!  I always push and shove my way through the tiny sale closet only to find amazing things in sizes way too large or with prices not marked down enough. That is until I came across this little number..........

There it was sitting on a sale rack for $29.99.....and it was in my size.....I think I just stared at the price tag for a really long time in total shock.

The incredible sleeve detail, the portrait collar, the empire waistline, the vintage lilac color, the polka-dot-ish pile. I mean, come on. I think this was the best $29.99 I ever spent.

I can't really decided if this dress is 50's housewife, 30's Great Depression farmer, or The Little House on the Prairie style. Anyways, I'm in love with it.

  2. Love how you styled it with the vintage jewelry, socks and oxford heels! To me it's very British and academic but in a cute, updated way. Pollie 4eva!! Haha.
