What I Wore: The $3 Dress of Dreams
what I wore: dress – thrifted leslie lucks (similar here), heels – report signature with added ribbon, lips – covergirl lip perfection hot
–
With similarities to the extreme couponer, the bargain shopper is always on the hunt for the absolute best find at the lowest possible price. Believe it or not this dress – complete with the adorable cinched waist, strong shoulders and open back – was $3.
What I Wore: The Green Gene
what I wore: dress – vintage via grey dog, earrings – vintage, ear cuff – the icing, platforms – FRH, rings – vintage via mae’s
–
This is one of the first dresses I bought from Grey Dog and it’s still a favorite. I typically wear it on St. Patty’s but also like to bring it out other times. Wearing green makes me feel lucky for some reason. The (gigantic) hair was a bit of an accident. I put leave-in conditioner on dry hair and put it up before I went to sleep. When I took it down this in the morning, I put it in hot rollers.

A couple of weeks ago, Ro and I went to New Orleans for the wedding of a friend. I knew it would be a chic affair so the outfit planning began months ago.
On Ro: My mom found this seersucker suit at a thrift store and bought it for one of my brothers. They were not interested so she gave it to Ro. Coincidentally, it fit him beautifully. I learned how to tie a bow tie for the occasion so that he could wear one of my papa’s (my grandma made a bow tie to match every dress).
On me: I found this dress by accident at cheap thrills. Harriet (the proprietor) was showing me a full length leopard fur in the back room and I spied this adorable polka dot number. I asked about it and she said it wasn’t exactly for sale but she’d lend it to me. I tried it on and we both agreed that I had to have it. So, out of the goodness of her heart, she sold it to me.
We had a fabulous time.
What I Wore: Among Hydrangeas
what I wore: vintage dianne ricco for nieman marcus (also seen here), cream blazer – unnamed vintage, heels – bcbg, lips – covergirl lip perfection in siren
–
I love this dress. It’s flattering, it can be casual or dressy and it’s work appropriate, but still a little sexy. It’s also happy – there are literally giant hydrangeas on the fabric. Don’t you love it when you find a dress that is versatile, fun and also you?
Diane
Diane Kruger is someone who has a style that I almost always admire. I also love how she and Joshua Jackson (Pacey) dress to compliment each other. I absolutely love this dress she wore to the Cannes jury photo-call. I can’t wait to see what she wears for the rest of the week.

Weekend in Charleston Moodboard
One of my baby brothers is graduating from college! He has been living in the most preferable of situations. School in downtown Charleston, minutes from the beach. My mom, other brother and I are going early to spend a few days at Folly beach before the rest of the family comes in and we fete Hampton.
While trying to keep in mind the packing guides I found last week, I’ve got to plan several chic dinner ensembles & beach day looks. I’m thinking flowing dresses and big hair, stripes & denim cutoffs, bright lips.
Have a lovely week. I’ll be back may 14. xo

This is dress is one of my favorite finds. I love the silhouette, the neckline, the length and the color! I’ve also been totally into a bright pink lip lately. Spring makes me want to experiment with color. Hope you’re having a great day!
