I am seriously obsessed with dresses. I only wear jeans when I've run out of dresses to wear, and I only wear slacks to the office if I have a meeting. I usually wear summer dresses, dress shirts, corporate dresses, etc. Yeah, I like dresses. Hahaha!
This weekend, I went thrift shopping and bought FIVE dresses for less than a thousand bucks. That's actually more than what I usually spend in thrift shops, but the items weren't on sale yet. Yes, thrift shops do have sales and sell clothes for ridiculously low prices. For that particular shop, the next sale will be in August so I'd have to cross my fingers that the items I didn't buy will still be on the racks when I go back. I don't really have any problem with thrift shopping. I do splurge once in a while but I've always loved going through clothes racks in thrift shops and coming out with fab finds. I've bought dresses and blouses that look like stuff from Zara and Topshop for a fraction of the price. There are times that we do have to be practical about shopping, ladies :)
Anyway, I had one of the dresses I bought washed already so I could wear it to work today. I particularly like this dress because it looks like something I saw from Mango about two months ago but I decided not to buy it since the price was pretty hefty that time (I just spent my hard-earned moolah on a trip and bills). What I like about the dress is that it's made of satin, the print's nice, and the length's not too short!
I'll be posting more of my great finds this week and next week. I might even go back to that store again this weekend, and possibly another one ;)

i looove wearing dresses too! it's so simple! no thinking involved, except which shoes/accessories to pair it with! dresses and shorts are my fav. the dress looks good on you!
cherie: dresses are ♥
amy: thanks! yeah, I agree...I think dresses are the most convenient pieces of clothing to wear. There are actually a few pieces that can be worn as sun dresses, then with a bit of outfit tweaks like adding a blazer or wearing stockings can make it into a smart casual office outfit ;)
hi! i have to say your ukay finds are really pretty. any chance you'd share where you got 'em?
hi ericka! sure sure I'd be glad to share where I get these fab dresses ;) I usually go ukay shopping at cubao and tagaytay. I do visit the ukay store across tropical hut, sct. borromeo from time to time since the dresses there are nice as well ;)
