Last month, I had the great opportunity to reserve a mini photo shoot with one of my favorite photographers, Stefany. During this activity, I was photographed in many looks, all showcasing different Goodwill finds.

The dress in today’s look was a vintage number from my close friend, Thoa, who often swaps unwanted clothing with me. This is a good activity to do with friends, especially if you both have great wardrobes but have a hard time fitting into some garments. This swinging dress from the 70’s effectively showcases my obsession with all things poppy and retro!

For under $10 from Goodwill, my gold retro oversized clip-on earrings elevated my look from just a mod, floral dress to a head-turning “Twiggy-esque” ensemble. Although vintage dresses that fit properly can be harder to come by at Goodwill, retro jewelry is widely available from as low as $1! Vintage gems can add a unique dose of another decade to a look without breaking the bank. 

Curious to know more about the components of my look? My outfit consisted of the following:

  • Dress: Friend, Free
  • Earrings: Goodwill,  Vintage $6
  • Shoes: American Apparel, secondhand
  • Watermelon Bag: Bando

Outfit total (Goodwill items): $6
