Thrifted Polka Dots & A Guest Post

Mar 30, 2011


{DRESS: THRIFTED, TIGHTS: JACOB, BOOTS: JOE FRESH}

Hello, lovely readers! Hope everyone is having a great week so far. As for today's outfit post? It's a quick one. I'm actually over at "Sparkling Footsteps," and SO thrilled to be guest blogging for Lynzy today. Be sure to pop by and introduce yourselves. Lynz is ultra fabulous & an absolute sweetheart. I adore her!

As for today's dress? I'm (excitedly) wearing my newly acquired bestie, which I bought on my last thrifting expedition for a whopping $5. Seriously, this is music to my ears! Also, I will be announcing the giveaway winner this Friday, April 1st, so be sure to check back. Happy Wednesday, my fab & fashionable lovelies. xx veronika
