This dress was such a great find at Ross with its short slip and long overlay. The whole outfit makes me feel like I'm on vacation. Blue and gold were the leading colors for the accessories here (earrings, belt, sandals) with a necklace that includes every color of the outfit. This is actually the dress that the belt came with, even though I've used it before in a couple of my posts. This belt gets passed through my wardrobe quite a bit and the versatility is astounding, from the elegant Breezy Blue to the loud Flower Power and now this Tropical Transcendence. With such a colorful and eye-catching dress, confidence is the most important accessory so you don't drown its brightness. The earrings and necklace were from yard sales, but I just got the necklace a couple days ago and decided it fit with this outfit the best. The sandals were a gift so the price is unknown. When it comes to yard sales there are a few pointers to give out. Even if the place looks a bit run down, you never know what you will find. A relative could have given a beautiful present and the seller had no idea of its worth so they sell it for a dollar. In the ritzy neighborhoods, there is a cross between people knowing its worth and wanting that price for it and the people who have a lot of money and don't particularly care how much they sell it for, as long as they get rid of it. Of course there are other people (like movers) but these are just a few.
Dress:$4.19
Earrings:$1
Necklace:$1
Outfit:$6.19
Do not equate quality and beauty with price. Yard sales and discount/second hand stores are free-for-alls where no such rules apply.
