There are just so many things I love about this outfit. For starters, this dress was a major thrift store find.  I had pined away for this Marc Jacobs dress when it first hit the stores, but I just couldn’t justify the $628 price tag.  Luckily, my pocketbook and I didn’t have to brood for too long once I scooped up this bright and cheery frock for just $30!  And speaking of pocketbooks…

I couldn’t be more thrilled with my new Dooney & Bourke handbag.  To be quite honest, Dooney & Bourke isn’t a brand I’ve given much thought in at least the past 10 years or so.  They were somewhat popular when I was in high school, but somewhere along the way they just fell off my radar.  I think I got turned off by those weird pastel designs with logos plastered everywhere that they were doing for a while. In any case, they have some great new designs available now.  And not only are they great quality, but they’re pretty affordable.  For the best deal, I’d recommend buying in a store rather than online as I was able to scoop up my bag for under $100 via in-store promotions!

And finally, the thing I love most about this outfit is that it reminds me of one of my favorite Dr. Suess books of all time…

I scooped up both this dress and heels from eBay for under twenty bucks a piece (brand new and unworn), and I couldn’t wait to wear them for a night out on the town.  The colors on this dress begged to be worn with bold pink lipstick, so who was I to argue?  Next I added a few gold baubles, and off I went!

After yesterday’s nightgown outfit, I decided to come full circle today by wearing a onesie. If this keeps up, I’ll be in a bathrobe by tomorrow. If that happens, I promise to spare you guys the photos… most likely.
