Thrift Store Score – Houndstooth Dress

I’m a sucker for anything classic, elegant, or vintage; when I found this houndstooth dress that just happens to be all three, I was ecstatic.

I thrifted this triple threat at a thrift store in St. Catharines, Ontario for just $6.  I’m always on the hunt for a dress with long sleeves, but new or vintage, they are extremely hard to come by.   It’s a classic look that creates a streamlined silhouette and an effortless outfit.

My entire outfit is thrifted, and cost just $12 total.  I accessorized my vintage dress with a pair of white vintage cage-toe heels (I swear, I took these photos before Labour Day).

I love the classic fit of the dress, combined with the elegant houndstooth pattern.  In order to break up the pattern a bit, I added a brown snakeskin print leather belt with a gold clasp.  Come to think of it, that’s a tripple thrifted threat.

Dress ($6), Heels ($4), and Leather Belt ($2): Thrifted.  Terquoise and silver ring: marketplace.
