It’s dress sharing time again- and I can’t believe I only have two months left! Is the summer that far along already? Maybe this winter I’ll have to do Six Months + Six Parkas… though, somehow the appeal just isn’t the same.
Dress number four isn’t just thrifted, it’s also a walk on the wild side for me. I’m not much of a prints person, I tend to stick to layers of light solid colours instead, but just for fun I tried stepping out of my comfort zone a little.
Also, I swear the lighting here is a little weird, and that I’m not one of the Cullen’s.
Dress – thrifted for $7
Switching to thrift shopping for my dresses has been such a relief, I’m getting to the point in summer where travel plans and major purchases have been made so I’m light on spending money for fun “just for me” things. But $7 I can definitely do!
The girls who have been playing along with me are just too cute for words, so I thought I’d show you some of my favourite pictures of theirs so far – click on their pictures to visit them.
Alarmingly cute, no? Told ya so! :)
Wondering what Six Months + Six Dresses is? I’m revamping my summer closet by buying & showing a new dress for six months. If you like you can moonlight for a month or play for the whole meme – grab a badge from my sidebar & play along!

You are beautiful & I love that dress!
I feel like finding the perfect dress at a thrift shop is the ULTIMATE find.
Although, I can’t lie. I haven’t gone thrifting for myself, in probably 4 years. How sad is that?? I wouldn’t even attempt to find a dress that fits me.
This post took me back though, to when I found my very favorite dress of all time, at the Goodwill Bins in Portland Oregon. The dress must have cost all of 25 cents, and… oh it was just perfect. My favorite dress for years.
I love your pictures, by the way, Miss lady. Standing against that fence and looking oh so adorable, as always.
Oh shoot! I forgot that you were doing this entry today! I should have posted my dress for July! I can’t believe that I haven’t done it yet, I’ve had it for weeks!
OMG they are all so cute! You have your own modelling crew! Very cute dress though, do you have a close up of the print ?
I absolutely LOVE this, and think I may start the same soon. Maybe next month? I’m also afraid of crazy prints like this and my girlfriends pull it off all the time – as do you! I think the thick, solid belt helps add some dimension to it, but you’re just altogether so lovely!
You’re adorable! Prints look great on you, and a dress for $7, you’re my new budgeting hero! :)
I think you pull off the print dress quite superbly! I’m not much of a print person, myself. This summer I broke away from black and neutrals, I’ve been rocking some bright colors. Its fun to break out of the norm.
Ok, you’re making me want to go out thrifting this weekend now! Why is it though that I can never find these cute things?? You guys all found some great things :)
You should do MORE prints. They look great on you! And $7 – what a bargain!
We need a Six Months: The Skirt Edition ;) I would SO participate. I need skirts like it’s nobody’s business.
I love your dress, the belt really gave it that extra sass. Super cute.
I love that dress!!
I love love LOVE your print dress, and you look absolutely adorable in it. The other girls’ dresses are super cute, too. Gah, I wish I had played along with this the whole time. But I’ll be spending four days in Vegas in a couple weeks, and I plan on wearing dresses just about every day. I’ll try to take some pictures and maybe I’ll just have a “Four days four dresses” sorta post. :-P
I’m terrified of prints, but you pull it off so well! The solid belt evens things out. :) I’ve loved doing this meme, and I need to photograph my July dress tomorrow or Saturday and post it.
So funny that another Tia posts AND she got her favorite dress in Portland!
I don’t buy many dresses because I am an odd shape, but I have gotten a few lately and I get compliments every time I wear them. I love seeing all of the photos of the other girls on your blog, because it made me realize that dress+belt=awesome and I should totally try it!
So beautiful. I love dresses!
So so cute! Great find at the thrift store :) And those ladies playing along are gorgeous!!
I’m always really shy of prints too. But I think your dress is adorable!
Love it! Wow the 6 Dresses really caught on in The Blogosphere didn’t it?! So much prettyness.
I’d better get on catching up with you all! :) I have two months of dresses to post before August!
Great dress! And $7? You really are from Winnipeg…;)
Love it.
i’m glad you stepped out of your comfort zone, cause WOW this dress is too cute! & i love the shoes you paired it with! WIN!
& yes, you look uber white, but lighting can do that. trust me, i know, being the most pale person in southern california. ha!
Oh I LOVE this months! Printed dresses are so fun. I also love the belt you’ve added to it!!
Love the print! And I’m right there with you on the pale-ness so don’t worry! Thanks for the shout out…this has been so much fun to do I can’t believe only 2 dresses left!
So many pretty dresses!
I need to do number 4! July went by fast! I have a cute dress to get a picture of. :)
Love it Love it!! The print is awesome. The belt looks awesome, really pulls the ensemble together.
Cute! I dig the little pattern.
Like it :) I’m tempted to join just for a month because I recently bought a dress but it’s more a going out in the evening one.
I love this concept! And I had no idea that so many ladies were playing along! Lord knows that there are items in my closet that go neglected. Maybe they need a little experiment like this one :)
I’ll have caught up through July by tomorrow! Entry to come. :D
That dress is gorgeous and you are totally rocking it! You should definitely do prints more! :)
So… I’m going to jump on the bandwagon! I’ve been thinking about it for quite some time but have purposefully been waiting until my latter dresses will be in the winter months. I <3 dresses but found myself without weather-appropriate dresses this past winter. This way I think I'll get some summer, fall, and winter dresses!
