Yesterday, at our first stop at the Elyria Goodwill, I got a couple of really great pieces. Two little black dresses - one lacy party dress and one long, v-neck sheath.
The first is by Jeffrey and Dara, which I've never heard of but apparently makes formal wear. I love the shape of this one - the always-excellent nipped in waist and swishy skirt. It's strapless, so I'm actually pretty surprised that it fit - chestier girls like me don't do well in strapless anything.
The second one is perhaps a touch less young, more Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's. But really, a classic shape. This one is by I.N. Studio, and it's hard to see but it has piping at the neck and right below the bust - a nice touch on a very basic shape.
I'm definitely feeling the sheath dress love lately.
Also thrifted were the white gloves, which actually fit me - a first! I think they're Anne Klein. Pretty comfy. Very dramatic. For $2, pretty awesome.
Taking photos for this was fun - I definitely got some weird looks from the electric company trucks as they drove past our house!
love, love, love them! Great finds!
