Thrift Style Thursday: Bloom Where You Are Planted

From the moment I read Brittany's challenge for this week - florals - I knew I had this in the bag! I practically live in floral dresses during the spring and summer. They're just so easy! Throw on a flowy floral dress, a fun belt, and a pair of sneakers, and you're ready to go. In fact, I have enough refashioned floral dresses, fun belts, and sneakers to fill an entire week's wardrobe.

Sunday: Getting a 50s/Rockabilly vibe from this dress.

  2. I absolutely love all of your floral dresses! What an awesome collection! I don't think I could pick a favorite, but I do love the first one with the cherry print, I'm a sucker for anything retro or vintage!! :)

    1. They're actually tiny red flowers, but I can totally see how they look like cherries. Maybe that contributed to the rockabilly vibe I was getting!

  3. I love all of your floral dresses - they are all so pretty and look great on you - but what I love even more is that you have Converse shoes to match them all - I am in awe of your collection, I need to get me some of those!!

    1. It's possible I have an addiction. I still need a black pair. And purple. And yellow. And everything other color on the spectrum...

  4. The first one is pretty awesome, Carissa! But I LOVE them ALL! And, I'm jealous of the shoe collection you have going on here...don't hoard them all now ;) Seriously, such cute looks. Lovely florals and lovely refashions. Can't wait to see the details on Sunday.

    1. Hey, if you think you can walk in a pair of size 11s without them feeling like big floppy clown shoes, then you're welcome to borrow them!

  5. I LOVE every single one of these vintage floral prints. So, so pretty. You do amazing refashions, Carissa. I definitely wish I was as talented with a sewing machine as you are.

    1. Thanks! We all have our strengths and weaknesses, you know.

  6. The first dress is my favorite too, even though I like them all. You can look good anywhere in a dress and I think they are much cooler than jeans and pants in the summer. You have a lovely collection.

    1. Definitely! Dresses are much more comfortable when it reaches triple digits!

  7. If TST was a contest, you would so win this week! :o) Ah-mazing! I am crazy jealous/coveting those patriotic Chucks! ...with the little red floral number of course! I feel like my wardrobe is so lacking in the floral dress and tennies department. My wide feet prefer Vans over Chucks, but I don't have either right now. I do have one pair of "Keds" that I got the kids to paint for me. They're splatterific...I think I'll try them with a floral dress tomorrow afternoon. :o)

    1. Thanks, JJ! My narrow feet prefer Converse, but to each their own. As long as you've got a comfy pair of sneakers, you're ready for all sorts of summer adventures!
