Once upon a time while I was in San Pedro at a thrift store off of 8th and Pacific, I spent almost an hour searching through the racks for something spectacular. Maybe a Marilyn Monroe dress or a Picasso painting, or something more in my price bracket (Don't forget this is fashion on a budget.) I found a couple items that would be a good addition to my fall collection, and then I stumbled upon this master piece!
I grabbed this beautifully constructed number that was marked at $100.00 so fast that I dropped the other items in my hand that couldn't compare to that dress. (Of course I picked them back up later o_o )
My first thought was, "That's an obvious steal," but with my bargaining skills I knew I would've been able to talked the lovely lady down to a lower price, without of course offending her merchandise.
I proudly walked out of the store with a dress that I paid $25.00 for (plus a little tip), and the best part is that it was in perfect condition.
After finding this lovely dress I was inspired to conjure up a Vintage Style photo shoot. All pictures were shot by Nia Simone Aka Spunky
Location: Downtown Los Angeles in front of a Church
I paired the dress with some gladiator style heels, Snazzy purple hair, and jewelry to keep it rocking.
