Old as New :: Princess Diaries

This dress is one of my favorite thrift finds.  It was $25 and had a tag specifying that it was bespoke at Saks.  It has a gorgeous neckline and surprisingly charming bow on front.  One of the things I love about vintage clothes is the quality of the workmanship.  This dress is a perfect example.  There is the actual wool dress, a lining, a beautiful ribbon covering the hem, and even bra strap holders.  My tailor took in the sides a little, but they can be let out if needed in the future.  I feel like a princess when I put it on!  {By the way, then necklace and panther clutch… also thrift!}  
The shoes I’m wearing have a special meaning to me because those are my wedding shoes!  They are almost nine years old.  We were on a tight budget, and I wanted something different than the “dyed to match” heels {those were a big deal at that time}.  Luckily, these fun strappy sparkly numbers were $40 at Dillards.  

Happy Wednesday Y’all!!
