Florals for Spring

(All Photos: Briar Burkhead)

This dress is something I have been dying to wear ever since it first started to warm up. It's so comfortable and lightweight. I picked this dress up about a year ago at Plato's Closet along with the shoes that I am wearing. The floral pattern on this dress is a must have for me for spring.

If you have never been to a Plato's Closet before and you're on a budget like I am, I would highly recommend shopping there. People sell their name brand clothes to the store, which is why I was able to find this dress for only $8. The colors are so vibrant and the dress is very different from anything else that I own. I decided to pair it with these sparkly Oxford shoes.

I can't always afford to buy new clothes since I am on a college budget. In fact, I don't even remember the last opportunity I had to go shopping. When I do get to, however, it's the best feeling in the world to spend $80 on more than just three items. Don't get me wrong, I understand the importance of owning high quality items that will last you a long time, but sometimes thrift shopping can add to the variety in your wardrobe. It's honestly a quantity versus quality kind of deal. I will admit that I had to fix the straps on this dress after I first bought it. So if you're looking for pieces that will last you a long time, then I would definitely go somewhere else.

Thank you all for reading! Let me know in the comments where you guys like to shop at when your on a budget. Have a beautiful day<3
