Actually, this week is more of a What I Will Wear Wednesday. I just received two new clothing items from 15DollarStore.com that I won last week from a giveaway on their FB page. Since I'm still on my shopping ban FREE clothing is far better than going out and shopping with my own money!! Now if I could only win some shoes! I think it's the only item I haven't won yet.
Anyway, the deal was I won two items of my choosing. I picked ...
 |
| FREE 2 LUV Stretch Collared Zipper Trim Jacket |
and
 |
HEART SOUL Stripe Sleeveless Dress |
Here's how I might style the dress...
Brown tank: Mossimo Target
Gold bangles: Target
Shoes: Rocket Dog (old)
Jewelry ideas...
Earrings:

|
Necklace:
 |
Leaf Lariat via Rebecca (giveaway win) |
I just love the pattern on it. The only real problem is that it's a bit short. And by a bit I mean even "squatting down" ladylike makes it a too risque. For someone like me that means I'd be flashing people all day long.
Here's my attempt with coming up with a non-flashing way of wearing the dress...
 |
Brown tank: Mossimo, Target Jeans: American Eagle, Plato's Closet Shoes: Mossimo, Target, $4.99 |
What I really need to do is go buy some brown leggings/tights/ to wear instead of jeans.
Jewelry...
Necklace:
 |
via Kohl's (old) |
Bracelets:
 |
Silver bangles: Target Wooden bangles: Cookie Lee (old) |
Shoes:
 |
| Shoes: Mossimo, Target, $4.99 |
The other problem with the dress is...
It is scrunchy in the back right along the top line so it zips fine right up to the start of the stretchy part. The only way to get it up all the way is to hook it and then finish it. Problem...it's almost impossible to hook it while wearing it. I did it once but couldn't do it again. So it looks like I can't wear this dress unless I'll be seeing someone else who can finish hooking & zipping me up before actually going out into the world. Oh, the downside of living alone. Also, major downside of cats...they aren't helpful with the no opposable thumbs and all.
Here's how I might style it...
