I'm actually cheating just a little bit - I was actually wearing this on Monday, but I really wanted to play show and tell.I meant to include this Tightrope shirt dress in the Katiecrackernuts Op Shop Challenge week but something about the best laid plans took over.....
I found the shirt dress at Savers on Sydney Rd during one of my little oppy sprees with Tinniegirl. From memory, I think the dress was about $6. The guy on the checkout was the slowest checkout chick in history - I contemplated walking out because it seriously took sooooo long - but I loved the shirt dress, and so I waited.
When we got back to the car - I had a parking fine for parking in a Clearway after 4 PM (I think it was 4.12PM).
So, the moral of the story is:
- I should have trusted my instincts and left the shop
- I need to make sure that I read parking signs properly (we don't have Clearways in outer suburbia)
- The shirt dress actually ended up costing me $119
I also teamed with one of my flower brooches.
Now I just need to change the buttons on the shirt dress - I'm not loving the originals.

Some days you just have to kick stuff. Take consolation in the fabness - even the buttons look fine and dandy from this distance.
great dress, thank goodness, huh? since it ended up costing you so much to be in the store with a sloooowwww check out clerk!
Snazzy!!!!
Don't you hate that sick feeling when that sort of thing happens! It looks fab though and your flower brooch makes it look extra special!
Hubba hubba!!
You look fantastic!
Always trust your instincts lovey!
OUCH! Not a good feeling when you see those little bits of paper on your windshield.
Last job interview I went to (prebaby) I was interviewed forever. I kept trying to get out and put some money in the meter, but they weren't letting me go. When I got back to my car a guy was filling out a ticket. He was super nice about it, probably laughing on the inside as he had seen me running in heels to my car, I explained the situation, he gave me the ticket and wished me all the best in getting the job. So, I got a ticket. But I did get the job and you got the dress! :)
Well, it is a fantastic little shirt dress! Love the whole look!!
I really like it Cam! It must be one of your favourite things to wear.

You look great in your million dollar dress! LOL It took me six goes with internet explorer to read this post. Man! they are bad.
that is brilliant!!!
Great look, it was worth the hassle. No wonder you photgraphed early too! I always end up remebering once i'm in my trackies etc.
It's like the day we lunched at Cookie and it ended up costing me around $150 with lunch and parking fine. It's a pain.
You're looking very stylish in your outfit though.
It was totally worth it, you look fab
channeling your inner supermodel there Cam! looking good!
You have the pose, the dress, the brooch, the attitude...and the ticket :(
the good outway the bad!
Looking good, LOVE your colours!
I've got my brooch on today & have had a few nice comments about it at playgroup where I have answered "it's a Curlypops"
Good job the dress fitted eh!! Looking fab Curly!
Ooh shame! It's a lovely dress though!
At least that dress is fabulous!
Yepp, that is one pricey Tightrope dress. But, wow, you sure can carry it off! I usually pitched any and all Tightrope things that came into my house, cause I could never get them to fit right!
That shirt dress looks fab... especially with your brooch! I think it looks worth $119!
looks fabulous...
even at $119...lol...
so glad we don't have parking fines around here...I can't remember the last time i saw a meter man...
which is lucky i guess...
Wow - that's one expensive dress - but it looks good :)
Ouch! Expensive oppy day but you look a million bucks :D
I'm tempted to go back and buy some paddle pop sticks for myself after seeing what cosas minimas makes with them! Cute!

sorry it cost you so much . . . :(
booo on parking tickets.
Woo, Hoo! Completely worth the combined price tag. You're looking very glam. Lisa.
Lovely. And it's one of my favourite colours! That little brooch is a really nice touch as well.
