~* The gold lace dress *~

On Wednesday I went out for another day of second hand shopping. I didn't find much at the usual places I go maybe cause I had just been there 4 days earlier. Either way I decided to go visit one I hadn't been to in a couple months. By the time I got there I realized they closed in 20 min so I would not have much time. As I scanned the dresses one caught my eye. It was gold & lace and really quite sweet.
It was not vintage but it kind of did have a resemblance to those 50's & 60's party dresses. Remembering the store did not take debit.. cash only I realized I would have to leave it behind and I did. Only to go back there today hoping it was still there so I could get it. Walking in the store I headed straight for the dresses and caught a glimpse of the bottom of the dress peeking out from all the others. *I was HAPPY* So here is is the $8.00 gold lace dress.

Now to be honest at this time it is a little small on me.. but I have plans.. oh do I have plans to start working out. lol "Don't most of us?" I really want to wear this to the next wedding I attend. Other than that I don't have many occasions to wear a fancy dress.
But I could just get my man to take me out for dinner and ask him nicely to get dressed fancy with me. (Don't laugh I might do it.)
Now at this little store they have all the purses hanging off racks. But what I found out once and forgot about was they keep all the lovely little dainty purses in a drawer. They do not hang with the others. And one time years back I found the drawer only to forget about it. But today I stumbled across it again. When opening the draw I came across these beauties.

I had to leave some I liked behind, after all I cannot be a purse hoarder.. not all in one day anyways. Hopefully there will still be some of them there the next time I go. But I did not have the cash to purchase all the vintage purses in the store. And even if I did .. I have no clue where I would put them all.
Another thing I like is hats and here is one I came across today also.


I told my Mother I want this to be my garage saling hat! *lol* I go to garage sales quite often on the weekend in the spring and summer months. And this hat just looks like a weeling and dealing hat to me. *hahaha*
Now to accesories.. look at these vintage sunnies I came across for the amazing price of 50 cents


Now for the last pic of this post. I paid 30 cents for this black and translucent fauceted bead necklace. It is nice and heavy, and I know I will get alot of use out of it. These style of beads always catch my eye I love the way the shimmer and shine in the light.

Talk to you soon...
