Maxi Dress: Wet Seal

Necklace & Bracelet: Wet Seal

Sandals: Target

I found this dress on Pinterest a couple months ago. It was one of those pins that took you to a blog’s homepage instead of the actual post from which it was written….SO FRUSTRATING!

I tried searching the blog to find the dress because I really wanted to know where it was from, how much it cost, etc. Long story short, I completely struck out! I couldn’t find the source of this mystery dress anywhere & I had given up all hope of finding it! I finally decided that I would just have to admire it on the model in the pin & think about wearing it in my dreams.

Okay, I wasn’t really that devastated, but you get the point! I was bummed to say the least! 

Then, last week my luck changed! I did a little shopping & just happened to pop into Wet Seal. This is not a store that I shop in too frequently, as I don’t usually find too much, but I did happen to stop in this time around. Low & behold, I walk in the door & there she hung on the rack!! Let’s just say that I did a little happy dance in the store, grabbed my size, & headed straight to the dressing room!!

As luck would have it, the dress fit perfectly!  It was so comfortable & the price was right, at just $32.99. I went ahead and grabbed a necklace and some gold bangles while I was in the store (they were buy one get one for a penny…can’t pass up that deal!) and called my shopping trip a SUCCESS!!

I’m still not sure that my dress is the exact dress in the pin you see above, but what I do know, is that I definitely got the look I was going for, at the price I was wanting to pay! And that folks….is all that really matters!! Yes?!

I’ll leave you with a few outtakes from our photoshoot. My husband was telling me to do “something crazy.”

I couldn’t do anything but laugh!

I’m not sure what “something crazy” is supposed to look like, but I definitely need to add some variety to my poses! Getting tired of the same old hand on the hip routine!

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Happy Wednesday Y’all!
