trash to treasure part deux.

this is the other dress my sister was getting rid of.
remember the first one here?
i love armani exchange for their attention to detail, and this dress was no exception. with a long, double-ended zipper, which allows you to expose as much (or as little) as you want, this dress was definitely a keeper.
it's a bit short for my liking; wish it were a tad longer. it's also too hot here for stockings, but the dress totally zips open...maybe it would work as a vesty thing over another
(hot pink!) dress or skirt.
anyhow, there was no time for creativity this morning.
i'll have to keep experimenting with this one.

(dress, armani exchange; blazer, bebe; shoes, jessica simpson; belt, coach)

eh, it could be a dress if you're feeling scandalous or a top over jeans for more casual? It's cute!

I love this dress, it really is quite gorgeous, the print, the zipper!! I bought a wonderful dress at armani exchange the only time I was ever anywhere with one about 5 years ago.

VERY sharp! I wish my brother had some things that I could snatch from him but alas, he is strictly jeans and khakis. Blah!

What a cute dress and you look lovely as always. Can't wait to see how you remix it and use it as a vest.

Wow, great dress - I love the print, it's kind of like a python print and I always love that! It would be great layered as a vesty thing too. It doesn't look too short on my end, but I know what you mean, seeing it and wearing it are two different things.

great dress on you, and i love the photo with the watch pose.

i used to be real skeptical about thrift stores until i went over the weekend to sell a couple of items. i ended up getting real hooked, there were so many cute items and of great quality!

but I definitely know what you mean. =)

The snakeskin print is a keeper! I don't find the length too short. The boyfriend jacket adds a hint of street that I love!
