Just a few days ago I thrifted a brand-new-tags-still-attached Forever 21 romper (with pockets).
A little over a month ago I stole some shoes from my sister's pile of garage sale items.
Yesterday I paired them up for some errand running.......
Yes, I am well aware that we need to work on our landscaping.
But there are bigger matters at hand.
The important thing here folks is that the outfit only cost $5.98.
And that will free up some cash to alter this........
This was also thrifted for $5.98.
But alterations will be triple that.
And speaking of chopping off some length, how short do I go?
I'm thinking to the knee.
Linking up with The Pleated Poppy, Two Thirty-Five Designs, Steppin' Out Saturday, and Transatlantic Blonde!
Love when you can find a thrifted item with tags still attached! Great score! And that drew would look great taken to the knee, if not a touch above. So cute!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I think that's what I'll do!!!
Deletereally, really cute! i think a touch above the knee would be good too! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat great deals and finds. The prices are phenomenal and isn't it sooo great when you find new items with tags-it makes it all worth it. I love your idea of shortening your new dress to knee length too! That would look great.

ReplyDeleteWow! Those are some great deals! I would cut it off to just above the knee I think.
ReplyDeleteSounds good to me! Thank you for dropping by!!!
DeleteI'm thinking that second dress would make a great peplum top- it's the perfect shape & hits on the right spot. The romper is cute, gotta love thrift finds with the tags still attached!!
ReplyDeleteLove that romper so so cute!!
ReplyDeleteYou can wear absolutely anything!! Cute!
ReplyDeleteI agree- just above knee.
oh my gosh that second dress has SO MUCH potential! i LOVE the stripes and colors. i would definitely go knee length and maybe take it in on the sides a little - but it's SO FABULOUS. awesome find, girl!
ReplyDeleteThat romper is SO cute!
ReplyDeleteI think the dress will be adorable altered to above the knee!

Love that romper!! I never have luck with rompers due to my way-too-short torso. :( Knee length would definitely make that dress a winner {not that it isn't already}!
ReplyDeleteTotal score!!! That F21 dress is HOT!!! You are rocking it! And I would hem the dress to the knee too and belt it. It's going to look awesome! I want to borrow!!! ;)

ReplyDeleteThe one needing tailored. What about....going a little above the knee and then making it sleeveless? Just a thought. Good luck.
