Homecoming dress by De Laru

Oh my gosh, how I love this dress! As you can see, it's light blue with black netting over top, and black beads in a flowered pattern from De Laru. This dress fits me PERFECTLY, and I love it! It comes to about the middle of my calf, which, I know, is a bit long, but I don't mind. You can't tell from the pictures, but the skirt has a lovely poof to it. The detail on the straps is fabulous, and it was an absolute steal!

I found this dress at Hope Chest (a thrift store), well actually my aunt and mom did, for $20!!

The dress was orignially priced at 40 in the thrift store, btu was half off. But I Googled, and this dress was once sold at Nordstrom's and Macy's! So this is a great deal! Buying a new dress for every formal dance is just too expensive. and besides, the vintage-ish style of this dress is SO me!

I'll be modeling this gorgeous dress for pictures that will be posted with tips to find designer clothing and shoes at places like thrift stores.

mwauh mwauh, love you,

Sorry!

So sorry for not posting in almost a month! School has been hectic and everything has been upside down. But I'm back, and I'll be modeling my homecoming dress for a post that will come out on Wednesday, called "Beaded Bargain". I'm posting preshoot pictures, to show you some detail on this gorgeous dress.
Love!

Betsey Johnson

I absolutely adore Betsey Johnson's designs. I visited her store in the mall in West Palm (I can't remember the mall's name) and I fell in love with gorgeous dresses that I could only dream of wearing to Homecoming or Prom. Her store has this upbeat, kind of girly/ punk feel, with popping pink walls and black and white tiled floors. The instant I rounded the corner, I wanted to go in, before I even knew who the fabulous designer was. I really admire Betsey Johnson because her designs aren't the cliche' and bubble gum pink chiffon, but darling dresses with bits of edge and attitude. Wearing one of her dresses could give any girl confidence.
