This red tank dress has travelled with me from Canada for the past 15 years. It was one of my all-time favorites from a summer collection Gap did not long before I left, and I've never been able to part with it. Sunday was super warm and we were heading to the flea market, so I took a chance and slipped the dress on over a little tank top. Holy mother of pearl this baby still fits! God bless the inventors of the Whole 30. And the hoarder in me.
~Dress: Old school Gap, Vest: M2F, Booties: Joie,
Jewelry: Vanessa Mooney, Bag: Brandy & Melville~
Rifling through the fake LV's to get to the vintage crossbody bags.
Eye of the Tiger after spotting the coolest vintage table for my kitchen or herb garden.
Woot! Will post some pics after I get it situated.
In the meantime, sweet dress right??
And why didn't I buy more than one pair of these boots last year?

I need to start another closet clean out. And at the same time, I should get better about holding on to things that I will still love in the future because I end up getting rid of WAY too much. Ugh.
Some things are just too good to get rid of. Perfect dress for strolling the markets. Love your bag by the way. xo
Yes, that dress is perfect. How's your eye by the way?
I love that dress! Gotta love when stuff still fits after a long time :)
I can't wait to see the new table!!
I always think I need to do a closet clean out but I really don't...my whole closet is always out, I never put anything away for the seasons, if I had too much I'd have to do that ;)

Oh yeah baby that was one great save!
There is nothing wrong with a classic dress! I have a crazy amount of stuff at my parent's place aka shrine to my random stuff!
I swear i used to have that dress or something eerily similar! I hold onto stuff like that too - like this old striped tee nothing wrong with it, nothing special just a great little piece!
xo-T
i did a purge as well last weekend. and i found all these things that i completely forgot about. so much fun wearing clothes from years ago and seeing that it still fits, lol.
love the dress and the boots! yeah, def. should have bought more than one ... makes me wish i had bought one!
That dress is so worth hanging onto - it looks awesome...especially with the touch of fringe!

I can see why you havent been able to part with this dress. Its very cute.
I'm purging, also, and realizing the classics of my life are just as awesome now as before. And, yes, that dress is rockin on you.
So, I purged this weekend and came across my 1990s Gap overalls...Your vest is a wee bit cooler. Ha!
Except, um, the vest is M2F. It's the dress that's from Gap! HAHA! Pregnancy brain, mama!
I'm with Debby–you can't part with the good stuff! I had a lavender suede Gap jacket I wish I'd hung onto...
Shut the front door. You're adorable. And you KNOW how I feel about those booties, Carrie. Loooove.

that dress is one of those you can always get a good use out of...

good luck with the closet purge!

HOARDERS unite!! That dress is so perfect and the vest? Yes please! xo
ehhh that tank dress is a gem! i would never get rid of it either.
in dramatic fashion
Sweet dress! It's one of those pieces you have and can't take it off.
Great dress, and I love when things come back!!
You look awesome, the weather is awesome, life is good ;)
haha - u do love those boots! - but it makes them more special b/c u do only have 1 pair in the 1 color! - i sometimes have buyers remorse when i don't have "more" of something or i didn't snatch it up in time - but sometimes 'it's meant to be that way'
It definitely is a sweet dress, the kind I'd live in all summer. Can't wait to see this table!
kindred spirits alright. i've been purging and throw out things like a mad woman. and i love it!!
XXXXXXXXX
