ISO: an ugly 'bridesmaid' dress + OOTD
A good friend recently planned an excellent day trip to wineries with the theme 'Always a Bridesmaid.' Basically, everybody is supposed to drag out their worst bridesmaid dress and wear it around all day for maximum hilarity and joy. I'm down.
The problem is that I went on a cleaning binge a few months ago and basically took everything out of my closet that I hadn't worn in a few months and gave it to the battered women's shelter. Like, 8 huge trashbags worth of stuff (don't judge me). Anyway, needless to say, along with everything else went my bridesmaid dresses, so I'm now at a loss.
I could go to Goodwill and I will, but as you all know, it's kind of hard when you're plus sized and searching. I'd really like to keep this as cheap as possible-- like definitely under $50, hopefully closer to $20. Does anyone have any resources online you can suggest? I looked at Ebay and all I could really find were new dresses or not awful bridesmaid dresses. Hell, if anyone here has something awful they're looking to unload, I'd also happily pay you for it. I'm a size 22/24, hourglass, D cup up top.
In the meantime, allow me to offer this sacrifice to the fashion gods in the hope that they are appeased enough to materialize an awful bridesmaid dress in my future. Here's an OOTD from my last trip to Egypt in December. I've actually thought about doing some travel OOTD posts, but I'm not sure how interested y'all would be.
The skirt is from NoMoreRack
The belt is from something else I bought on ASOS that came with the belt (I think a sweater dress)
The tshirt is from F21 (LOVE their tshirts!)
The necklace is from F21
The sunglasses are Bvgari
I normally am not so covered up, but I did want to be respectful while in Egypt-- I went for clingy though because on that day, we were in a resort town and going to lunch.
