I know, it’s been forever since I’ve done one of these posts! I think that is partially because I’ve not been well and no one is impressed with sweat pants and tee shirts. 
The other part is that I haven’t been shopping much lately and thus not had a lot of new content. If all the people who said they’d do guest post would send theirs in, (ahem… HINT HINT) we’d be ok, but for now you’ll just have to be patient. I guess my last excuse is that when I’m actually dressed up, I don’t always think to take a picture of myself…
Today’s A Fine Dime is another black dress. I love black dresses- even if they are cheap or old, they still have a classy edge to them.
Sorry about the blurry quality- my nephew took it with my phone because I was running late to (hostessing) as shower.
Dress: Old Navy, $2 from a garage sale. I originally didn’t want this dress because it was a shapeless sack sort of a dress. I really liked the sleeves and since it was so cheap I decided to give it a try, figuring I could belt it. I’m so glad I got it now!
Belt- $4, Plato’s Closet. It’s a red-ish orange with a dark chocolate brown stripe and bronze medallion clasp. Most of my clothes are pretty neutral so I knew it would match a lot of things. I decided that I loved the pop of color on my black dress and the casual nature of the belt made me look a little less fancy.
Stilettos- $7, Jessica Simpson from a thrift store. (Potter’s House) Yeah, Yeah I was a little grossed out at first but after I thoroughly cleaned them off I was in love! The fact is that these 5 inch heels are pretty easy to walk in because they have a wide, platform base AND they are a good brand! Now these aren’t Jimmy Choos, BUT I’ve always loved the Jessica Simpson brand and was thrilled to find this great basic pump!
Jewelry- Forever 21, a gift. A faux diamond bracelet and earring studs. Forever 21 has affordable, trendy jewelry. At first I didn’t want to put diamonds because of the bronze in the belt then I decided WHO CARED? and went with it.
Hair- I flat ironed it and kept it simple.
