Mod

I thrifted this dress about 2 years ago and I'd never worn it until now! I even had it tailored. It used to be longer. I wanted to make it into a mini dress and that's what I did. It actually cost more to alter the dress than I paid for the dress...which was about $5. I really love the pattern and its just so Mod!

Outfit

Dress: Thrifted see another of my favorite vintage lace dress HERE!!!!!

Tights: American Apparel

Shoes: Jessica Simpson Dany Platform

Earrings: Random African Shop on 125th St

I really love the pattern on the dress and thought it'd go perfectly with my Jessica Simpson Platforms. We had a little snow Monday but most of it is gone now..YAY! I hope that groundhog was right because this Winter has been brutal! I've been spending like a true shopaholic and been eating chocolate chip cookies for dinner. I know I know, I should treat my wallet and tummy kinder but I'm just failing miserably at keeping a budget. At least its only thrifting...you know $17 dollars here $20 dollars there and I end up with 8 new outfits. LOL. 

So technically I'm saving in the long run...right? (My logic is Undeniable: Quote from iRobot)

Today was a great day. I did a little thrifting, ate the best penne alla vodka I've ever had in my life (mouth orgasm!!!), then worked a half day! Tonight we are celebrating my good friend Kenecia's birthday at a new bar Aloft XYZ in Harlem. Can't wait to pop some bottles.

What do you all think of this dress?

I really love thrifting. Check out the other pieces I got that day from Goodwill in posts here ,and  here!!!!!

You dont have to spend tons of money to look great. I like seeing how many great pieces I can get for the least amount of money. Shopping is really an art form. I don't spend very much on clothes at all but I will drop some serious mula on shoes lol.

Whats do you spend most of your money on in regards to fashion: clothing, shoes or accessories???
