OOTD: Cheap Summer Dress

Okay…. I’m going to have to write this out, because if I don’t I’ll regret it.

iiiiiiiiiiiiiii like cheap clothes and I cannot lie.
You other bloggers can’t deny
that when a sale comes through
with a code & free-ship you get SPRUNG
Web-sale got it going on,
A lot of designers won’t like this song…

I swear, I will never reference Sirmixalot in this manner again ~~I wrote, knowing full well that it was a lie … because I’m long and I’m strong and I’m down to get that cheap shit on.~~

So let me get to my point now. As the title suggests — I have a cheap summer dress that I adore. I’m no stranger to cheap clothing…

2 for $5 canvas sneakers from odd smelling corner store? Gimme.

3 for $10 tanks from random neighborhood stores? Mine.

Rite aid selling dad-sweatshirts? I want.

I think I’ve blown more people away with my finds at the $5 Shoe Factory (Ferry Street, Newark) and from Rainbow than any of the designer purchases I’ve made through ~~skipping bills and running from responsibilities~~ my hardwork, sweat, and tears. But this little number I found in the basement of one of those questionable little corner stores for $4.99.

Did it have shoulder pads? Yes.

Was it in the old lady section? Also, yes.

Did it have a sister style in different color? Yes…. but I tried to stay on budget (lol).

I love finding pieces of clothing like this that are slightly questionable in design and then just chopping them up a bit to make them my own! When I got home I immediately removed the shoulder pads and cut the side slit a bit higher ~~call me Shayla Scissor Hands~~.
