A Thrifted Pink Lace Dress

I’m gonna pop some cash *cues Macklemore!!* is my motto WHENEVER I go to the thrift store. I have recently become OBSESSED with thrifting and have shared a lot of my finds on my Instagram (follow me @_thepinkchickadee!). Back in November, I found the most adorable pink lace dress from a boutique brand called Mad For Love at my local 2nd Ave thrift store and have *finally* gotten to sharing it here on the blog!

So, flashback to this past May and I was planning to go to a Jessie James Decker concert in Washington, DC with my best friend Shivani. It was the day of the concert and I had JUST gotten home from a quick weekend getaway to Raleigh, North Carolina for my best friend Hannah’s college graduation. I had gotten home, and, well, my body had other plans: I had gotten a REALLY REALLY bad ear infection when I got back and spent the entire afternoon upon my arrival home from Raleigh in bed. I called Shivani and that was that. I wish I could’ve gone, too, as I was planning to wear this exact pink lace dress. My time to wear it had to wait.

And, flash forward to this month aka July and I *finally* decide to wear my thrifted pink lace dress – for a dinner out celebrating my Aunt Amy’s birthday *AND* with a ride in her pink jeep (follow her Jeep on Instagram @apinkjeep). It was SO MUCH FUN getting to finally wear this adorable thrifted find of mine out and about.

I decided to style it with my pineapple-flamingo mismatched Jack Rogers sandals that I scored on clearance, my J Crew statement necklace, and my glitter Kate Spade wallet. Other ways that I would LOVE to style this thrifted pink lace dress is with a denim jacket or blazer for work and flats, heels and statement earrings for a night out on the town, or even a pair of sandals and pearls and maybe even a trench coat (depending on the weather) for brunch.
