A storm was a-coming...
So I went outside to take pictures of my new-to-me polka dot dress before it was too late.
Things became down-right blustery.
Two minutes after the pictures were taken, the bottom fell out and it poured and poured. I love storms! I also love this dress. It is thrifted Ralph Lauren. I was so excited when I saw it and then tried to temper that excitement because the tag alleged it was too small... but I tried it on, and it fit perfectly. I had a very emotional reaction to this and had to sit down on the bench in the dressing room and compose myself. Oh the emotional roller-coaster of second-hand shopping.

The dress is fabulous - and what a great find!
Seriously! Sizes are so weird in thrift stores! Even when they come from brands I'm familiar with! You just never know what will fit! Great find!

Ha ha! I love your story of finding this dress - I do the same things when I find something which should be too big/small and it fits. I usually thanks the "gods" of second hand shopping at that point;)
that polka dot dress is just fabulous
Number one tip when thrifting: ignore sizes! Haha so glad you found this polka dotted gem. So pretty!

I know what you mean about the size surprises! I often trawl the other size sections because I just know there's buried treasure. I like the brown boots with the blue dress.
it was meant to be! Can't believe you found it!
Good find - love a bit (and even a lot) of polka dot. And a Label too... and you braved the imminent storm to do your photos; good timing! The skies are fantastic just before, with a great energy in the air, aren't they :) x
I know that emotional roller-coaster when thrifting all too well) Such a nice find, love the size of those cute polka dots.

I love when I think something is going to be too small and it fits. No better shallow gratification than that. There is a part of me that is really into vanity sizing.
Love polka dots! Super cute outfit!
