A Dress, A Sale, And French Fries...

Apr 14, 2011

{DRESS: DYNAMITE, BELT & TIGHTS: MODCLOTH, SHOES: H&M}

I (as you might remember) went shopping; who doesn't love a little retail therapy? I bought a dress, ate french fries, and experienced total shopping exuberance! A good day for me, means finding a great dress on sale, and that's exactly what happened! I bought this dress at Dynamite for a whopping $19. I think I might have squealed a little when I grabbed it off the sale rack. I know, I'm a total dork!

I wore this outfit the other day, when hubs and I headed out for an early dinner. It’s still a wee bit chilly in Vancouver, so I actually wore my flirty black leather jacket, but I happily braved the cold for you guys. And as for the styling? Well, I was going for fun & sassy, so enter: sparrow belt, textured tights, and strappy heels.

Happy almost Friday, guys! I'm thrilled that the weekend is just around the corner. I’ll be at Vancouver Fashion Week on Saturday -can’t wait! xx veronika

    $19? There's nothing better than getting a great dress at a discounted price! The dress and the leggings look really good combined. Both the print and pattern are completely different, making your outfit interesting. I hope you have a great weekend! :)

    Veronika, this outfit is a graphic, flirty master mix! i really can't believe the good deal you got on your new dress, how awesome. the detailing is cool too, i like the lines and how it almost appears like a tank top. i bet it's super comfy as well as sensationally stylish! yups, i woulda squealed too.

    have a blast at VFW - i await the incredible shots i'm sure you'll take. much love, xo ♥

    pea ess: best believe the silver clog's will come out to play again - especially after such swell compliments from you. thanks for that lades, i know it's an alright look after you've given it the approval stamp! yah!!!!!!!!

    I love your whole outfit! I would have never thought to put the bold tights with that dress, but it looks awesome, and for $19? My kind of girl :) Good job!
