Dress: Kasper for A.S.L, Belt: H&M, Stockings: Calvin Klein, Shoes: Stuart Weitzman
Would you wear thrifted items to work?
Ever since, years ago, a makeup artist commented on how rich blues compliments my skintone, I wear this color every chance I get. So I've been looking for one of the hottest trends for Fall 2011: a cobalt (royal blue, whatever you want to call this amazing color) ensemble. And guess where I found it?
At my local Salvation Army!
I was actually in search of some thin belts to add to my wardrobe when I stumbled upon this number. I couldn't believe my blue-tinted eyes. This lone dress, transported from the mid-90's, in my size, no snags, stains, etc. It was in perfect condition. And of course the price was right. This baby was practically free at a whopping $8.

This is the reason why I need to start thrifting more. That's a beautiful dress at a great price! Also, I'm in the lookout of more skinny belts for my collection. :)
Ivie this is one of my favorite colors: cobalt! It's so rich and seriously in or out always beautiful. YOU look amazing in it too I might add. Get more! xo. Bella Q
Ivie, you look so gorgeous in that shade of blue! And I love the skirt of the dress in particular. I need to go shopping with you, I could use an $8 dress.

Ivie, nicely done post, and just love the dress and it's color! It speaks power. And, as it happens, it also speaks thrift. I need to pay more attention to thrift shops - no doubt! http://WittyWomanWriting.com/blog/
