100% Thrifted Pick of the Week (1.13.09)

9 Jan 09, originally uploaded by acatofimpossiblecolour.
This week’s pick happens to be another story of a big frumpy dress happened upon by the right girl in a thrift store. While most of us probably would have passed this dress right by without a second look, kudos to Andrea for seeing its potential (though I happen to know that this girl has a bit of a thing for polka dots ;).

All it took to transform it into this vision of loveliness was a little shortening and belting. The red shoes were a really cute touch, and for me the icing on the cake is definitely the added bow in contrasting polka dots, just brilliant. I really like how it makes the solid white collar stand out. Well done Andrea, you are an inspiration!

I have my polka-dot habit very much under control. I'm only popping two a day now.
