Dress: Spenser Jeremy, thrifted;
Shoes: Tayla platforms, Target;
Necklace: thrifted.
This dress typifies every internal monologue I seem to have with myself when I go thrift shopping. Here's what my brain discussed when I saw this dress:
JoAnn's Left Side of the Brain: You don't need another dress. Get out of this section now. Run.
JoAnn's Right Side of the Brain: Oooh, green! I love this color. And it's Grecian-inspired. Isn't the little side-tie just darling? Just darling! And it fits well. Think of all the possible outfits!
Left Side: Be reasonable. Green, aqua, turquoise already have taken their place in the closet. You know this. We had a Dress Project after all, in which we discussed the merits and pitfalls of every single frock. Come on, don't make me get the frontal lobe involved here.
Right Side: But it's 100% silk. You can feel that it's a good thing. Natural fabrics. Sofffft.
Left Side: But you could use that money in a practical way. Save for graduate school. Open a Roth IRA.Whatever you want. Let's discuss.
Right Side: It's only $2.
Left Side: You're speaking my language. I give up.
Welcome to the club, new dress.

The dress is gorgeous!
isn't compromise wonderful?! It's lovely, and of course for $2, not even worth the debate. That necklace is pretty as well. I love that you paired the pseudo-Roman-key necklace with a Grecian dress to give a very modern look. :o)
Oh my brain does the same thing!
But this dress is very lovely, I'm with right brain.
Love the internal dialogue! That dress really is fantastic so I'm glad for you that you picked it up! The necklace is perfect, too.
