$1 Dress and Happiness Boutique

You read that title correctly.  This dress was just $1.  Recently, my local Plato's Closet had a sale to get rid of all their clearance items.  There wasn't much left...mostly shrunken Forever 21 clothes made out of what I can only imagine are tissues and garbage bags.  However, I found this little gem on the rack.  It was relegated to the depths of the clearance rack because the zipper was completely detached from the dress.  For $1, I figured I could see if Susie could fix it.  Susie is my tailor.  When you are short legged and large butt-ed, sometimes the only way you can ever wear human clothing is to know your tailor by name.  So, for the price of $5 (I think she gives me a frequent flyer discount), Susie repaired the dress.  So, maybe this dress was $6.

Despite the great deal on this dress, the real superstar of this outfit is the necklace.  That piece of statement necklace glorious-ness is from Happiness Boutique.  It's got the perfect of amount of sparkle (i.e a lot!) and it's lightweight enough that it can be an everyday piece.

This week I attended a fancy boring lawyer meeting.  However, I did not know I was supposed to attend this event until about 5pm that day.  And, of course, I had worn my brightest, most pattern mixiest outfit.  Well, I showed up to a sea of black suits.  I was not only the only person not wearing a suit, I was also the only person not wearing all black.  I experienced a feeling that I have never felt.  I felt underdressed.  I was so uncomfortable.  Then a man, who I think is a partner at a huge important firm, came up beside me and said, "Finally, someone is wearing a little bit of color to one of these things.  Thank you.  Everyone else looks so depressing."  I guess I am the bright spotlight of boring lawyer events.

Yep, I wore a sweatshirt to work.  What?  It has sparkles on it AND I wore it with a pencil skirt.  That totally makes it business casual.  It goes from the office to the couch.

On another note, the second this sweatshirt is off my body, the cats are trying to remove every single sequin.  Wait, that's a lie.  They don't even wait until I take it off.

I wasn't sure if I really needed a bright pink drop waist dress.  However, when I saw that it was $12, I thought, "Maybe I do."  When I realized that all sale items at LOFT were an extra 50% off, I thought "Of course I do!"
