$12 dress

I spent the weekend on the couch, sick, and watching far too much Torchwood on DVD. Or perhaps not enough Torchwood, as my plan is to watch a couple more episodes tonight!

It felt good to have a reason to get up and get dressed today.

This dress is a dress I got at Ross for $12 over two years and 35 pounds ago. I have no idea why it still looks as good as it does on me, but I'm glad. This is one of the only pieces I was able to keep in my wardrobe after my weight loss.

The handbag is a bag I earned helping my friend Erin clean out her closet last Spring. It was to go in the "sell" pile, but she let me keep it instead.


These boots are vintage YSL. I got them for 5 bucks. My friend Bill actually first spotted them, as well as a wine colored pair at the thrift store. I was deliberating between the two colors when Bill pointed out that for 5 dollars, I might as well get both.


The earrings are based on a pair I saw in magazine this summer. I love big earrings.
