90s Denim Mini Dress

by Sandy Joe Karpetz | Apr . 1 . 2013 | Fashion, Outfits, Spring / Summer, Thrifted

Sometimes the thrift gods bless us with things we didn’t know we needed or desperately wanted. Such was the case when I came upon this pristine 90s denim mini dress by the classic purveyor of jeans – GAP!

The Perfect Thrifted Denim Mini Dress

What is so great about this particular dress is that the denim is super lightweight and soft, just how I remember my Gap kids jeans were back in the day. Stiff denim is such a pain to break in so finding a papery one like this is much preferred. Also the cut of dress is spectacular with its slight a-line bottom half. I LOVE IT.

Thrifting in Arizona

An unexpected hiatus is a result of my meanderings south. What originally was supposed to be my voyage to SXSW turned into a desert adventure of another kind. While I missed out on a road trip with my pals from Shout Out Out Out Out, I did get to see many weird roadside attractions and find a plethora of treats for my vintage store!

The Pretty Secrets Vintage

I suppose I should take this time to mention that I will be showing a collection at Vancouver’s Eco Fashion Week on April 22nd and will be a vendor at the Royal Bison indie craft fair in Edmonton May 3-5th. More details on both of those later!

For those of you who are not geographically close, not to worry, I still have an Etsy shop open and will be launching a site of my own in the near future.

What’s to come this year…

In my absence I also turned a year older and quit my day job to become a full blown bohemian vintage vendor and freelance writer; I couldn’t be more thrilled despite the looming chaos this month will bring. My days will be a mixture of scouring vintage and planning my runway show with a touch of writing about heavy machinery for magazines such as Tracks & Treads.

I think that about sums it up.
