Bargain dress, meet my gorgeous friends. Gorgeous friends, meet my bargain dress.
While I love this colour green, the adorable pattern, the cut and the feel of this dress, I confess I loved the price even more. Because my new (to me, anyway) dress was purchased in an Op-Shop.
And the same shop sold fabulous jewellery. Gorgeous belts. And almost new shoes. Perhaps I might have bought more than just this dress... and I'm definitely going to visit this lovely little place again!
And speaking of bargains, I love these shoes. Wedges (of course), but these were also a bargain, purchased a year or so back for just $30. Don't be deceived by the height: they're as soft and comfortable as a pair of pillows.
Here's a close up of the dress pattern, my gorgeous necklace from Koolaman Designs, and my favourite garden seat.
The circle pendant necklace has engraved on it all four of my children's names. It was a gift from Kellie, one of my oldest and dearest friends, who sent it to me just after I had just given birth to Noah. I treasure it as one of the most sentimental baby gifts. And I know when I wear it, my youngest step-daughter Leah is chuffed!
And for my green finger friends, some garden goodies in the background!
So, what have you been up to this week to get all Fancy Pants? I sure look forward to seeing what you've rocked. Perhaps you've bought yourself a bargain and can't wait to show it off too?

ReplyDeleteWhat a find and the most wonderful colour. I love the necklace too. Have often thought that I should get myself one of these .... off to check out the website now!
ReplyDeleteKYM! I own this dress! It's sitting in my wardrobe (aka garment rack) waiting for me to fit into it again! I bought it the summer before I got preggers with Danae and loved it - still do. And can't bear to give it up in my many clothes culls since then. Nice to know I have good taste ;)
ReplyDeleteMaybe one day I will fit into it again and we'll just happen to rock up to church together in our respective twin dresses!
Love that necklace! Must get me one :) And I adore green too so love your dress. You are so stylish, my dear. The quintessential yummy mummy! xx

ReplyDeleteI have a silver pendant with the thumbprints of my older two girls, but the chain is broken so I haven't worn it for ages - thanks for reminding me - must get that fixed!!

So glad you could finally link up.. I think linky was having some upgrades! xx
ReplyDeleteHi! Found you via Jacinta. I do something somewhat similar on my blog, so I used my last entry for your fancy pants (I love that name!).
ReplyDeleteYou look GREAT and especially because it's still winter here in the states. I can't wait to wear a sundress.
Your necklace is the first one I've seen with kids/kids names that I like. Lovely!
That's a really nice way to get 4 names on a necklace, i often think i'd look like a big jingle clunker with 4 seperate ones with my children's names. Nice choice from your gal pal.
ReplyDeleteGreat outfit, wedges rock!! Love Posie
Just popping in to see you and pleased that your 'fancy pants' linky is starting to take off. It's such a lovely idea. x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I can't 'do' dresses or heels but can still appreciate the lucky women who can - like you!
ReplyDeleteLoverly. Looks like you are oozing confidence too...always a good thing!
ReplyDeleteIf I coudl rock any look half as well as you did then I would certainly join up. I love this series of posts and such a great name too!
ReplyDeleteMich x

ReplyDeleteI'm extremely impressed with your writing skills and also with the layout on your weblog. Is this a paid theme or did you customize it yourself? Anyway keep up the excellent quality writing, it's rare to see a nice blog like this one nowadays.
