Vintage Inspired: Gingham Midi Dress

I had been wanting to do a modern take on a vintage inspired piece and I found the perfect dress for it! Also, these pictures are my favorite ones we’ve ever done on the blog so I’m SO EXCITED to share this post with you all! 🙂

I first saw this dress a couple months back at Target when it was originally priced $34.99. I didn’t know if I liked it that much (it has cut-outs) to pay full price so I forgot about it until we would go and I’d see it again on the rack. Last week, we were in Target again but this time I saw the dress on the clearance rack for $24.98! I decided to finally try it on. It was big at the top but mom said she could alter it for me so I went ahead and got it 🙂 It has cut-outs on each side and also has a draw-string with pom-poms so you can adjust the sides to how they best fit you. I also love how the dress buttons all the way down!

The straps needed taken up several inches for me, I’m 5’1. It fits perfectly everywhere else, I’m wearing the size xs.

I found these shoes at Goodwill for $5. They were in perfect condition and are Clarks brand so they’re comfortable. I love the wing straps!

    Thrift Shopping: My Tips & Tricks – faithfashionfoodwithc

    […] When it comes to purchasing items, I am particular about what I get. With clothing it’s important to make sure there are no holes, stains, or tears. Or if there are, you can easily mend them. I once found an adorable 1940’s inspired green and white polka dot dress at Goodwill but it had an ink stain on it. Fortunately, I was able to get it out the first time I washed it! When it comes to shoes, I am very picky. I almost always only get shoes thrifted if I can really tell they are brand new or haven’t been worn very much. I’ll also thrift vintage shoes if they’re in good condition and not worn a lot. As soon as I get home, I will put the clothes in the washer, wipe the shoes down with a klorax wipe, and throw the shopping bag away out of the house. You can never be too safe. My best shoe find was a pair of vintage Etienne Aigner loafers (same pair HERE) for $2.50! I also picked up a brand new pair of Clark’s Mary Jane heels (shown HERE) […]
