I picked up this dress a couple of weeks ago in a thrift store for #19.99. I got the sweater the same day for $15.00 (new). Unfortunately, the sweater popped a button almost immediately.
Right there!
Fortunately, it was a lovely sunny, hot (up to 12 degrees/mid-50s!) day and our office heated up really fast. If you've been watching the Olympics, that's my neck of the woods - it's been very non-Canada-like. To tell you the truth, though, that's what the West coast is like. We're the Mediterranean of Canada (shhhh...don't tell or we'll be overrun with riff-raff).
Anyway, there I was, sweaty and hot, in my sundress:
I felt very summery in this - I'm looking forward to wearing it without tights, as it had serious tight-creep (I have micro-fishnets on). Seriously, designers, line cotton-blend dresses with a non-stick lining!
