This is going to come as a shock, but I thrifted another dress. I’m fresh out of 50 other options. I love popping into little thrift stores whenever I have a chance and inevitably find some kind of treasure. Like last week, I popped into 2nd Glance in Leduc and found a pretty Calvin Klein dress for $7!
Value Village dress prices range from about $9 to $25, with the standard price around $17, so non-profit and little thrift stores tend to have better non-sale prices. This dress was missing a belt. I have one or two or twenty-five that would coordinate just fine, but first I had to take care of my dress nemesis: the useless belt-loop threads.
I couldn’t wait to wear this dress with perfect fall colours, and since Monday was a day of mostly sitting and no Velcro (my other nemesis) – a critical consideration for this kind of fabric – I pulled it to the front of the queue!
I had a very difficult time deciding how to style this dress – so many options! *why is life so hard* I wanted to wear ankle boots in homage to the season, a decision I came to regret by 3pm- my post op foot was not ready – and thought I had the perfect belt…
So I changed, with a brief explanation to my photographer about how Mommy is allowed to change her mind as long as it doesn’t make us late!
No matter how you style it, this Fall dress looks great!

Great find and styling. Looks lovely on you.
I LOVED the teal belt…but the necklace is awesome too:-P great colour contrast!
I love the dress and belt. I would put the belt around the cardigan too, to belt both. Its a look that I like on myself. The booties are great. But with the recent foot surgery I wouldn’t wear them yet. Sometimes vanity gets the better of us.
Great minds think alike – I almost belted the cardi then decided against it for the practical reason that I knew I was going to be in a hot meeting room all day! But it is a good suggestion for the next wear! And yes, I’m missing my heels but should have been smarter!! Patience patience!! Thanks for reading!
It looks like pheasant feathers – I’m in love! I liked the teal belt with it but you gotta do you.
You’re right! I saw a bunch this summer and thought I could base my whole style on pheasants!!
