I recently found this dress at a hometown consignment store that is (sadly) going out of business. Their loss, however, was my gain... everything was 50% off, and fortunately no one in town would recognize the potential value of this piece: a summer dress from Moschino Cheap & Chic. It was less than $10 and made the perfect centerpiece of my Fourth of July barbeque ensemble.
Not to mention, it goes swimmingly with so many colours. Seen above and directly below with the vintage mustard blazer I bought at a vintage store in Canterbury, England (also a really cool piece... there's a cigarette burn on the inside liner and I always wonder what the story is behind that!).
Seen below with a vintage coral jacket from the sale bin at Hidden Treasures in Topanga Canyon (the colour isn't quite as intense in person as in these photos...).
And finally, one of the best parts is the mixing of stripe size/angle. I know the navy/white breton stripe thing is vair 'of-the-moment', but this is a delightful twist... a delightfully inexpensive twist.
