Snow days in Edmonton are about as ubiquitous as grains of sand on the beach, so I don’t take them all that seriously until much later in the game. Like when they dump 2 feet of snow on my driveway. A few inches … eh. Time to wear a dress.
I was especially excited about this particular dress, so I was going to wear it regardless, snow day or no snow day. First of all, it’s hella cute. Check it:
Secondly, it cost me $6 at Value Village. Did I mention it’s a Marc by Marc Jacobs dress? It has a retro-boho vibe that works perfectly with my MJ Kirsten bag. It’s almost as if they were designed by the same person … OK, that was my really lame attempt at fashion humour. Don’t worry, I’m not quitting my day job any time soon.
Especially since I also fail at taking fashun bloggery photos. For the record, this wasn’t an attempt to be cute; my husband had just remarked that my nose would put Rudolph’s to shame, and I was feeling a little, um, self-conscious. Oh well, it all goes with the snow day territory.
Which Value Village do you frequent?? I love that dress! Especially the bow!
Usually the VV on 34th Ave. Occasionally the one on 82nd. But most of my best finds come from the former 🙂
I think this is why I appreciate your fashun bloggery more than most other blogs I frequent – you live here and this is the same weather I’m living through! A blogger from California just can’t relate to winter. Although I’ve been going for sweaters and scarves lately myself, not dresses. But it is an adorable dress!
Haha! I wish I didn’t have to relate to winter either. Alas.
I’m so happy you ended up getting this dress! The colours look phenomenal on you!
Thank you! I had so much fun thrifting with you 🙂
