corduroy dress (Old Navy, hand-me-down, $free)
white oxford (Merona @ Target, Mom's, $free)
nude open work tights (Kmart, $13)
brown oxford pumps (Vince Camuto via Amazon.com, $39)
This dress is one of my favorite pieces I didn't spend any money on. I mean, I love corduroy and I love pockets, so what can go wrong?
A friend and I have a little club we started (currently only 2 members, open to more), where we swap clothes with each other. Like most women, we have a wide range of sizes in our closets, and like most women, we fluctuate weight frequently. So when I started gaining weight and she started losing, it worked perfectly, as she got the clothes that were too tight on me and I got the clothes that were too loose on her.
She made away like a bandit, ('cause my closet is ridiculous) but I get the pleasure of knowing some of my most amazing thrift finds aren't going to waste (sitting in my closet, waiting for the weight loss that may never happen). And if there ever comes a day that I fit into said clothes again, they will be there for me.
I suggest you get some friends, in the same size-range, and start your own swap club. You just might get a dress as awesome as this one.
