You all will not believe the amazing deal I scored today! 🙌🏻
There are certain days where things don’t go my way. I get a crappy fortune in a fortune cookie. Someone steals a parking spot I was going to pull into. Or maybe I just failed in some way that would be epic in a movie, but it just kind of sucks when it happens to me because it’s my life and I have to answer for it. 😖
Not today, folks! Today was amazing because the dress in these pictures?
I only paid $1 for it. $1. One freaking dollar!!! 🎉💰🙌🏻
I went to an estate sale in South Knoxville and was about 30 minutes late for it, but went in excited. I try not to look at pictures or psych myself up too much—I like going in and being surprised with what I find instead of regretting what’s not still there when I show up.
I dug around in a closet in one of the rooms…and I found this dress. 😍 It was polyester, I could tell by touching it instantly. There were no tags, but I knew it was true vintage and maybe even handmade. It had a zipper up the back and a hook at the base of the turtleneck. I was getting it really with only the intention of reselling it, but I did think to myself that it would fit me and I could model it, which would be great for pictures for my Etsy.
I also got the belt pictured in some of these pictures. I think it’s from the 1980’s and doesn’t go with the dress originally, but I think it looks pretty good.
I just couldn’t believe it was only $1! $1 for a complete outfit, a statement piece, a piece of true vintage clothing! I may even wear it to my cousin’s wedding coming up in September, I just need to find some red heels to go with it! (Red heels are such a staple piece and I could use some anyway! 👠)
Someone was also quick to point out to me the resemblance of this dress to one Marilyn Monroe wore in “Something’s Got To Give”. I think it’s going to be a keeper, I can’t sell it now! 😍
There’s no better feeling than getting a good deal+digging through a musty closet and finding a gorgeous, well taken care of vintage piece of clothing.
I want to hear your all’s stories! 👂 Have you ever gotten a vintage piece of clothing for an a-m-a-z-i-n-g deal? Let me know in the comments!
