Outfit of the Day- Seeking a Cheap Dress for Good Times

Today we got a reprieve from the heat and humidity. I was actually able to enjoy lunch outside with a co-worker and not burst into flames like Bill the Vampire did when trying to save Sookie in the end of the first season of True Blood. Also, yum, to cheap buffalo wings.

I found the dress I'm wearing at a thrift store not too long ago. Despite the fact that it looks like something I could have caught my mother wearing in the 80s, I saw some potential for cuteness. I love the color (one of my favorites) and had it shortened a bit, although I think I can probably take a few more inches off again. I hiked up the sleeves, slapped on one of my favorite belts, opened up a few buttons, added some jewelry and headed out the door. That doesn't mean I was on time for work because I still had to figure out a shoe and handbag selection, but that doesn't detract from the easiness of this dress. Plus it has one thing I couldn't resists..









POCKETS!!!
