Story about this blouse:
I thrifted it, it appeared to be brand new if not barely worn. Whenever I thrift things they get washed immediately, let's face it not the cleanest places in the whole wide world. So I proceed to wash everything- got a bunch of stuff. As I'm pulling the laundry from the washer, I notice the texture of this blouse is different. Horror strikes, I look at the label- yep 100% silk. Yeah, you don't wash silk....I'm an idiot!!
Oh, well it was a whole $2, but I'm still wearing it...it didn't really get totally ruined, it's just not the same buttery feeling against my skin.
My Outfit:Polka dot blouse- $2, thrifted
Cardi- $2, thrifted
Jeans- $20, Express
Flats- $13, Burlington
Brooch- free with purchase
Earrings-$2, Walmart
Total Cost: $39
I had actually planned on wearing the lovely polka dots with this red cardigan:
But the cut was all wrong, you see the magnificent ruffles of the blouse had to be framed in all their glory, this cardigan would have totally taken away from the ruffleness.
I did the exact same thing with a thrifted silk shirt last week. I knew I needed to dry clean it, but somehow it ended up in the laundry basket and was washed. sigh.

I never would have put the brooch on the cardigan there. Such a good idea.
