Remember this dress? You may not, since I wore it, half-covered up, as a skirt last time. But here it is, in all its glory. It’s a pretty cute dress, ruffles and all. I ended up adding a cami underneath because it’s quite low cut, and I was going to a 3-year old’s birthday party – no need to scare the young ones, haha!

This was a great example of one of my fave kinds of outfits: an inexpensive one, of course. Altogether, it cost under $75 – including accessories – through a combination of swapped, thrifted, and consignment pieces. The belt was actually the most expensive item: a made in Italy, braided leather Holt Renfrew branded belt ($30). Not bad at all.
