Yesterday I was a bad girl and I spent $29! My mom asked if I wanted to take a ride to Home Goods with her, and I like any excuse to shop. While we were there I decided I needed a cute chair and desk for my computer since now I use a TV Dinner Tray and an old icky chair :p So I'm on the hunt for those...now to the meaning of this post: After Home Goods we decided to take a trip to Marshall's.
I found a ton of cute dresses on clearance & bought this gorgeous dress by Theory! It retails for $295 & I paid $29, HELLO BARGAIN! I almost didn't get it, but then I figured if I could just put it on eBay if I changed my mind. Now that I have it home I can't bear to sell it, its adorable! Its a little dressy for where I work, but I'll still wear it a LOT anyway (who cares if they think I'm crazy?)! (there is one on eBay if you're interested, otherwise it isn't available anymore).
Dress: Theory from Marshall's $29
Tights: ? $?
Wedges: Simply Vera $16
Also, I have sadly decided to sell this Max Studio dress I got at the beginning of the summer. I have yet to wear it so I figure that is a bad sign, I like it but it just doesn't fit with my style anymore, haha. It's brand new with tags and a size Small so make an offer if you are interested, it retails for $98! After a few days I'm going to put it on eBay. Click to make it LOTS bigger.

Lookin' good! I can't resist a bargain like that! I like the dress you're selling, too...but I'm sworn off spending for a while after this weekend!
ReplyDeleteThat purple dress is so cute!
ReplyDeleteThe thing with blogger uploading is that you can't make portrait images fit across the whole post section which I quite like doing as it keeps things uniform (I may have a little OCD :P) so I don't really like it. I think I'll try flickr and see how that works out for me...

That ruffle detail Theory dress is so adorable! I'm glad you are keeping it - it's great.
