I have never been a fan of strapless dresses or tops. I have tried to like them, but just couldn’t get over the fact that part of my dress seemed to be missing. I think they are pretty and I have nothing against the style, it is just me, I have never felt comfortable in them. Maybe it is time to change my mind on this…
I made it to some yard sales a couple of Fridays ago. The weather was nice and after talking myself out of it at first, I ended up finding my way to a few. I am glad I did. I got several new-to-me items, and as is the case with yard sale shopping, I got these items for practically nothing. One dollar for a strapless dress, I didn’t hesitate at all, even though I wasn’t sure how I felt about said dress. It looked like it would fit, it was summery, why not try the strapless thing once again.
I almost ended up leaving the house as is, but put a tanktop on underneath at the last minute. Truth be told, I think I am still more comfortable with an undershirt – or at the least, straps. Since it is summer, I am gonna wear this summery dress, even though it isn’t exactly my style. I should know in a few months if this makes it to see another summer.
What do you think about straps on dresses, yay, or nay?
This photo could almost be an outtake. Like I was concentrating really hard on making the flowers grow, or something silly like that. It was far too hot out when I was taking photos to be too picky with how they turned out. Ugh, the humidity!

Thanks, it didn’t look as bad as I initially thought it would.

What a cuuuute dress! I do like how you paired it with the tank. I’m not a fan of strapless (I always feel like I’m pulling it up) but I’ll wear them if I have to, usually with a sweater..

That’s the main reason for my dislike of them. I am constantly tugging and pulling to keep the dress in place! The tank helped a lot and it was the first time I had worn something other than a sweater.
Thanks for all your great comments! 🙂

I love that dress! I like the strapless style on other people too, but not so much for me. I do like the tank/straps you added. I think it looks super cute. Maybe I need to start shopping garage sales.

Thanks, glad the way I wore it looked alright. Garage sales are fun, but really only when you find something. 😉 They are especially great for children’s stuff, clothes and toys.
