Don’t you love that feeling that you get when you walk into
a thrift store and find a little gem waiting for you?
You know the feeling.
When you pick something up and start saying
‘oh my goshhhh‘
under your breath as you admire it’s perfection

This vintage dress was mixed in with about a dozen others
but that pretty peacock blue and vintage material caught my eye.
Made of a chiffon that is crepe paper thin
The front is simple in design
and it’s sleeves are able to be removed to be worn as an even more simple
Summer dress.
But it has a lot of gorgeousness going on in the back
with a bow and long train
So pretty and that color
*sigh*
just adore it and love the color with the roses and Alstroemeria from last week
It’s absolutely perfect for displaying or using as a photo prop or background.
I also found this little vintage millinery veil and tulle head band in my thrifting adventures
Simple tulle decorated with flowers at the top and with 4 strands of flowers draping down the veil.
The tulle headband looks a little like a poof really but it’s charming
All three of these finds together were under $15 and the dress
was just $3.25 on a half price sale.
Yep, it was a good thrifting day.
