everything thrifted...

Dress: Thrift. Shoes: Ebay. Bag: Thrift. Peacock feather earring: Random cheap NY shop. Shades: ---->Ray Ban
...because it's still my fave way to dress. I increased the length of the side split and took the hem and looped it through my belt for draping and shape.
Did you see my twitter pic of the two piece maxi thrift find today? My twitter is still where I show my loot before it surfaces here on the blog because it's a quick cell pic (normally taken in the shop).
The cow hide bag shown above was on my twitter too last week. It's got (wait for it) an interior gun holster pocket. I love that, even though there's no errrr gun inside.
Yet ;-)

    A couple of posts ago I thought that you were in Anse Marcel, and then realized that you were in St. Lucia. I couldn't believe how similar the beach looked.

  65. Glad you lot like frock! The hiking up through the belt was very spontaneous. Let me know if you guys give it a try. You need that split to allow the fabric to drape without pulling.
