I’m always in a style crisis just
about this time of year. My mind knows it’s winter, the calendar says it’s
winter, but my body is craving spring. Mother Nature isn’t helping either; I’ve
hardly seen a flake of snow and to top it all off, I’m bombarded with images of
new spring trends in all the glossy mags. So, the dilemma this past weekend
was: What spring trend can I wear, yet have a visual appearance of warmth?
Tribal! This is a dress I picked up a few weeks back at the Goodwill. I was
actually fortunate enough to find another dress that was exactly the same
style, but a different pattern. I’ll share the other in a later post. I believe
the pattern on this dress qualifies as “tribal” especially with the help of a
few ethnic looking necklaces. What do you think?
Thrifting tip- You may have heard this
before. Check out all the size sections. Don’t pay attention to the number on the label, because that's all it is. If it looks like it’ll
fit, give it a try. These dresses are labeled two sizes larger than what I
normally wear. But who cares? They fit great. Then again there’s quite a bit of
leeway in both directions when it comes to wrap dresses.

Thrifted necklaces. I think the middle one may have come from Walmart.
