I haven't been able to blog about my thrifting finds lately because I've been swamped with work, packing for my move, and heading to my hometown for my cousin's wedding.
Dressing up for a wedding is so fun! I love the thrill of finding the right dress, right shoes, thinking about how you'll wear your hair..and that's because I'm not the bride anymore! But seriously, I love any excuse to get dolled up.
My dress was a total steal at a whopping $14 from a store called Love Culture. It can be perceived as risqué because of how open the chest is but since I'm have a small bust I knew it wouldn't be offensive. Plus it has two slits int he front that give it an extra oomph.
This dress is proof of how alterations make a HUGE difference in how a dress looks and feels. Again, going back to my having a smaller chest I had to get the dress altered. If I hadn't I would have been self conscious all night. The collage above shows the impact it makes to have your dresses (skirts, suits, pants, anything) customized to your body.
I received a few compliments on the dress (which let's face it, it's what all of us fashion bloggers are going for) and I loved being able to tell people I snagged it for less than $15!
Here are a few pics from the wedding! Be sure to follow me on instagram (CynthiaEdee) and check out my eBay for new finds!
