    Show and Tell
    Found this skirt at a local thrift shop! My heart skipped a beat. I have been looking at the labels and I believe it was made between 1974-1979. I'm thinking about wearing it for my wedding.

    It looks perfect. I would wear it with a laced body or maybe a leather corset

    My heart would have been pounding as well. Whenever I find something nice like that at a thrift store I'm sure they're not going to let me buy it at the cash register -- seeing that I have found a treasure that they missed.

  6. Gorgeous dress, I'd wear it for a wedding in a heartbeat!

    @amandainvermont I always have the same worry. I once found a pair of genuine vintage 80s RayBans in the sunglasses pile for $1.75. When I took them up to the register, the cashier got a funny look on her face and, without saying anything to me, called the manager... I think she actually thought I'd changed the price sticker. The manager came over, ran her finger over the price sticker, looked at me, and simply said, "Go ahead." I got them for $1.75! (The store keeps the "good" stuff in big glass cases, so the manager must have realized that I couldn't have done anything dishonest... but I was still worried that they'd refuse to sell them to me at that price.)
