Eric and I took a quick weekend jaunt to Washington, DC recently and had a great time soaking up the sights and doing a little window shopping in Georgetown.  Since the weather was sweltering, these are the only outfit pics I could muster.  I picked up this little slip of a dress at H&M, and I have to say that it was $13 well spent.  I love it so much that I scooped up a pink striped version that’s been doing double-duty as a nightgown. But shhhhhh… don’t tell anyone!

Ladies & Gentlemen…

IT finally happened!

What is IT, exactly…?

Well, at work IT usually means Information Technology, but that’s beside the point.  No, the IT I’m referring to is far more exciting.  And that IT is the fulfillment of my 2-year quest to score a DVF dress while thrifting!

When I used to envisioned the big day in my head, the plunder was typically the iconic wrap-style in a vintage 70s print.  However, I have to say that I’m as pleased as punch with this maxi number.  I tried to capture as much detail as possible, but pictures do not do this dress justice.  It’s made of 100% silk and has quite a bit of weight to it which makes the fabric drape and flow in such a lovely fashion as I walk. And the best part…

IT only cost me thirty bucks!

“You look like a wedding cake…”

Those word the words that came out of my husband’s mouth when he first saw me in this dress.  Not exactly the effect I was going for, but I’ll live with it.
