This is one of my oldest dresses. It's from back when I considered American Eagle expensive and would debate purchases there for house while my friends were buying whatever they pleased. My how times have changed, now I can spend $40 on a dress and not blink an eye - although I still question myself, haha! I've had it for at least 12 years and I think it's only been on the blog 3 times (here, here and here...oh wait, one more!)
It's something I throw on when it's hot and I don't know what to wear. A nice plus is I don't have to wear a bra with it. Always a plus in Summer! AND it has pockets, can't beat that! I guess I never think to take photos in it because it's so old. It's definitely faded over the years but still looks pretty darn good.
I think paying $40 for something that you still own and wear 12 years later means you made a pretty solid investment - and this is a really pretty dress.
It's such a cute summer sundress! I love simple dresses like this with a fun print - they are such easy pull on and go outfits! it's impressive you've had this for so long too!
Good for you for holding on to things and really getting your cost per wear down! I remember the days when $40 was a HUGE amount of money! Though maybe I should act like it is... Chic on the Cheap
I'm getting back to that stage now that I have a house, haha! But I'd still rather spend $200 on one thing than $20 each on 10 things, so that's an improvement from my early shopping days
I've worn it like 4 times in the past 2 weeks when I've just run out and not felt like putting anything "special" (aka something I had to think about) on, haha!! So definitely worn a lot

DeleteI think it was a good investment! I can assume that its been worn more times than it's appeared on the blog :)
