Tuesday WW Group - Zipper Dress

I have to cut back on my shopping. I've hit all the thrift stores, and scored all my deals, and now I'm stocked up with new-to-me clothes. I have enough in my closet to last a long time without adding anything else to it. When's Lent? I should give up shopping until it's over. Yeah, I can do that, easy.

Where was I? Oh yes, shopping. New stuff for today's meeting:
I am so proud of my Tuesday Group - they have already lost over 20 lbs only 2 weeks in. Yay!

The dress is thrifted: Mexx for $19.50. It looks barely worn. I like that it zippers from the top and the bottom. I can go from classy to sleazy with a couple of zips - now, that's versatile (hee hee).

The blouse is also new:
I fell in love with the pattern. It's by Marcona, which Google tells me is a UK brand. The tags have been cut out, but it feels like a very silky polyester - nice quality. It was $4.50 at the thrift store.

I'm also wearing this new necklace that I picked up at Plum before New Year's:
I think it was about $12.

The stuff:
I've only worn those shoes once (July 2010) - that's just sad. They're super comfy. I disappointed the receptionists, as I had teased them with talk of my thigh-high boots.

Isn't the pattern on the shirt cool? I love the colours in it: black, grey, red, orange, white, tan and camel (and it looks wicked against olive/khaki). Love a good patterned shirt!

A close-up:
I liked the gold accents against the grey.
