We'd been so good about our monthly meetups all year, but then faltered during the summer. Hopefully we will resume them, because I enjoy our brunching and our thrifting so much!
This is the dress I got at TJMaxx last month when I won Keiko Lynn's shopping trip giveaway in New York. It's by Nannette Lepore and it was on clearance for $44 (and you don't have to pay sales tax on clothes in NYC either!)
Aside from the major steal the dress was, with a retail price of $300, I was immediately drawn to the mesmerizing geometric floral print, and the fact that it was made in the USA is a huge plus. I was a bit uncertain about the bloused top (there is an elastic waistband), but once I added the wide belt to balance it out, it was perfect.
I've submitted this dress to TJMaxx's contest and I'm still trying to get more votes (looks like you can vote more than once) and all you have to do is click 'love it!' Thanks!

ReplyDeleteThis dress is such a gem - and I can't believe it was such a steal, $44 down from $300 is almost too good to be true! But it was clearly meant to be yours; the fit and colour scheme are just perfect for you :)
