One of my favorite places to shop is at this fantastic clothing exchange store in the Sacramento area called Freestyle. It opened up around the time I began college in 2008, and it was a beautiful fashion haven for college students who preferred to be less spendy. If I’m passing through town, I always try to stop by. I sell them my clothes. I buy other people’s clothes. How ideal. :)

But sometimes when I find something secondhand, it seems perfect in the fitting room and then eventually I’m like, “Oh. That’s why someone got rid of this.” One woman’s trash is another woman’s treasure for like two seconds until the other woman realizes it will become her trash as well. And so it goes… The cycle of secondhand clothing never ends.
A couple weeks ago, I found this floral dress and wore it on the sunniest day we’ve had this year. It was so nice at first, but I realized the dress was feeling pretty short. I blamed it on the wind. In Target, I embarrassed myself a bunch trying to reach for things on the lower shelves. Another day, I wore it to work and concluded that, even with tights, it is quite short and unpractical for my body type. No picking things up off the floor for me! So unfortunate. Hopefully I can find a way to make it work.
ps. I LOVE daylight savings! Losing sleep isn’t cool, but daylight at 7pm is really cool.

oh dang…that’s the worst! you could maybe try a slightly longer lace slip underneath? super cute and adds a bit of length! or layer it over jeggings?
