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.
