Thrifted Thursday - Orange & Teal

Hi all. Another Thrifted Thursday here! I thought it would be fun to show off one of my thrifted outfits for a change. This is a simple look that can be worn to work or out and about. I thrifted the dress a few years back, however, I am just now pulling it out of my closet - silly me. I love shopping my closet and finding new (or in this case - old) surprises. The belt was also thrifted quite some time ago.

Outfit Details: Dress & belt - thrifted | Wedges - Payless.

I like that my hair and the dress worked out to be complimentary colors (orange/red - blue/green). Off topic (sort of) - don't these photos look like I took them last fall? I took them on Sunday. The lack or rain here in Illinois has caused my poor trees to dry up and lose their leaves. I have been watering them on and off just to help them out a bit. Pretty crazy. Please send some rain clouds my way :]

Insta - finds: Cute girl's dress (I wish I had a kid...or that it didn't cost $18 dollars so I could have hoarded it for my future children) and HUGE blowfish. I already have a small taxidermy blowfish - haha, seriously though - so I passed on these two gems.

Thrifted anything fun this week? Any fun plans for the weekend?

    Wow!! Your hair looks fabulous on top of that teal!!!!! *hair envy/dress envy*
    You look lovely and your hair looks so pretty and healthy, I must say! Not that it looked like mine (straw-like) before. haha
    Girl, it has been raining cats and dogs here, but I love it. I suppose I could have a little chat with Mr. Raindrops and see if he can send a cousin your way. ;)
    Happy Thursday!

      Thank you!! Haha. I had it cut as soon as I dyed it so I think that helped reduce the damage.

      I am so jealous!! Please do! It has gotten so bad.

      :]

    That teal makes your hair look so bright! It's a gorgeous combo.

    Do you get your hair professional dyed, or do you dye it yourself?

    Love the dress. The blue really pops with your red hair. You should have got the puffer fish. :)

    I love this outfit, the jewel green/blue looks gorgeous with your hair. Such a shame that kids dress didn't come in an adult size!

    Seeing these pictures the first thing I thought was how well that dress complimented your hair color and lo and behold that was what you said in your post too.

    You look great!
