Wrapped



{Geometric Printed Wrap Dress ~ Vintage.Thrifted / Suede Booties ~ Steve Madden / Faux Leather Jacket ~ DOTS {last year} / Ivory Stretch Belt ~ Thrifted / Black Tights ~ HUE}

This thrifted wrap dress is actually really cool - there is a tiny slit/opening on the side of the waist that the wrap ties go through; it is a true wrap dress. I also wore this on the weekend with leggings and a white tank - with the dress open and ties pulled and knotted in the back, sorta like an open jacket.  It was cute.

I feel like I have been rocking a lot of thrifted items lately and I almost can't help it.  I hate to shop retail now because I sometimes feel like I see the same things in every store and on every body. I am not easily impressed and would rather wear a one-of-a-kind thrifted piece.  And although the dry-cleaning bill makes up for the cost of what I would spend, say at the mall, it's worth it for me to stand out and do my own thing. 

Speaking of standing out, I got a chance to have brunch with my fellow Philly Style Blogger and the adorable Fajr from Stylish Thought on Sunday.  I also got a peek into her closet - she has the most amazing vintage GEMS ever! Her collection reminded me that I am so much more drawn to unexpected frocks, which may not include "the next hot thing".

I have been stocking up on the basics for spring though.  I am searching for the perfect pair of hot pink skinny jeans now. :)

What's on your must-get list for spring?
