Liz Clairborne - Fitted red dress (RSP:  around $100)
Vintage embroidered button up dress


Alice Temperley for Target - Swiss Dot Tie-Front Top in Cloak Gray (RSP:  $29.99)
Simply Vera by Vera Wang - Jewel collar red/grey/beige top (or dress?) (RSP:  $40 - $70, depending on whether it's a top or a dress!)

All $1 each at another community garage sale!  Funnily enough, this was held across the street from the other one I went to today, and it was in a church!  I wonder if they were affiliated.

Anyway, I knew this one was going on too, which is why I made an effort to go.  They were both presumably huge and close to each other, so I thought it would be worth it.

It totally was!  I really need to keep an eye out for these kind of deals.  This one was particularly attractive since it was only about 3 minutes from my house.

This one had a pile type deal too.  It wasn't as big as the other one, so I'm glad I made the right choice and went to the other one first.

I really didn't think I'd find anything, but I was happily surprised.

The dress was the first thing I found.  It's kind of severe as a dress, but it makes a really sexy light coat!  It's really fitted and looks new, that was definitely the highlight from this lot.

The second thing I found was the vintage embroidered dress.  I wasn't sure about it at the time, but I'm really happy I got it now.  They don't make them like this anymore!  I might not even need to shorten it.

Then I found the Vera Wang top...it was deja vu!  I found the exact same top almost two weeks ago at Value Village.  It was $3.50 then, well, around $4 with tax.  I was somewhat interested but didn't think I liked it enough to pay that much.

That was the right choice!  I actually took a while to decide this time too, since I passed it up last time...but in the end, I thought it was cheap enough to buy it on a whim.

It actually looks really beautiful on!  I'm happy I got it.  I'm not sure if it's supposed to be a top, but it works as a dress too!  Even $3.50 would have been fine, but of course I would have been annoyed about finding it now!

The last top took me so long to decide, since I really don't like polka dots.  If it didn't have those dotted accents it would be a no-brainer.

Well, since it was for a good cause, I bought it anyway.  It would actually look really good on if it fit me!  That totally surprised me, since it was a medium.  I can barely get my arms through there!

I found a picture of how it looks on a model - it looks way better when the bow is left untied:

But...like the jeans, I'm sure they'll fit after my weight loss.  So I'll hold on to it for now.
