#ThriftyThursday: A timeless little red dress


#ThriftyThursday: A lady in red has the opportunity to make a bold (and thrifty!) statement. Displayed in front, the Hartland location (Lexington) featured the PERFECT “little red dress” for just $5.29! It just so happens the Elle dress was brand new with tags, originally $64!

There are a few special pieces out there that are intentionally designed to be worn any season. If you are thrifting, take them home! The dress is a nice thick material, made of a cotton and linen blend with metallic silver polka-dotted switching! Needless to say, it’s a great example of seasonal transitions. In the spring and summer, nude heels and a crossbody lighten the look. Whereas in the fall and winter, black tights, booties, a tote bag, and a open-front sweater will pull it all together!

For the first of August, I chose to complete the look with a pair of Sam Edelman block heels and a Victoria’s Secret crossbody. I purchased my heels at the Tradewinds location (Somerset) for just $3.99 and my crossbody new with tags at the New Circle location (Lexington) for just $11.99!

I paid less than $22 for designer tags that will have me looking trendy every season of the year. Visit your local Goodwill for your next year-round find!

Best,
