One Dress 3 Ways

I found this basic, olive green dress at Goodwill for $5, and even though by itself it's a plain, boring dress, my imagination ran wild when I saw it! I pictured so many different pieces with it! It's also a great example of how to transition a summer sleeveless dress into a fall dress! During my lunch break, I threw together 3 different ways to wear this dress.
This is what I wore to school today. (The scarf is brown..just doesn't look like it in this light!)
Here's the 3 different ways I styled this dress...literally I did this in 5 minutes, but if I had more time, I could've come up with 20!(The first picture is just to show you how basic and plain it is alone...)

Thrifty Thursday - Purple & Snakeskin

After I got dressed this morning, I noticed that my outfit was almost ALL thrifted! While living in Portland, Oregon for a year, I became a HUGE thrift store shopper! I'm a Christian school teacher, and if you didn't know this already...I'll let you know, we don't make the big bucks, so I HAVE to find good deals! Here's some tips for shopping in thrift stores...

1. Find thrift stores in "rich" areas, they usually have the best name brand clothes!

2. Don't just buy things because they fit you, make sure they're stylish or classic pieces too!

3. Stick to buying classic, solid pieces, they tend to not "look" like they from a thrift store.

4. ALWAYS check the shoe section, people give their nice shoes to thrift stores A LOT!
(half my shoes are from Goodwill!)

5. Pray before you go! I always find awesome things, when I pray!! :)
