I got it at Macy's. The budget for all of my prom/dance dresses was always $100 so it either cost that much or less. It's made by Niki by Niki Livas. 75% rayon and 25% polyester with a 100% acetate lining. Size 4. Made in Guatemala.

Dress #45 Not Worn

I also got this dress when I was in high school. I bought it while I was at the beach from one of the stores along the boardwalk. It was between $15-$20. I wore it to the beach but haven't worn it since. I honestly have no idea why I still have it. When I was in my senior year of high school I used to wear animal prints but I haven't since then. The material is very comfortable and feels like it would make a good nightie to sleep in. Maybe I kept it with the idea that I would use it as a night gown. Either way, I have not worn it in over 10 years. The front is a cheetah print and the back is black. It's made by Elan Wear. 90% polyester and 10% spandex. Size L. Made in the USA.

Dress #44 Not Worn

I got this dress when I was in high school. When I was a senior in high school I used to wear a lot of black skirts and boots (I liked velvet, vinyl and pleather). I did a lot of shopping at a store in the mall called Rave. All of the clothes in there were cheap for a teenager's budget. I think this dress was between $10-$15. I don't actually remember if I ever wore it to school. It's kind of a night out type of dress. I do remember wearing it when I was in college in Boston. A bunch of friends and I went to a goth night club called Manray. Originally I was wearing a long black skirt but I told them I brought a second outfit option that was in my purse (the dress is tiny and takes up basically no room). They laughed and said if I had an outfit that fit in my purse then that's the one to wear into the club so I changed in the car right before we went in. It's made by Rave City. 100% polyester. Size M. Made in the USA.

Dress #43 Not Worn

The last time I remember wearing this outfit was to a company Christmas party in 2006. I thought the red was festive for Christmas back then, but now I think the shirt is a little bit too low cut and the outfit kind of makes me look like a witch. The Christmas party was during my first year at the company and the party was held at Maggiano's in The Grove. I got a little tipsy and fell out of my chair during the party. All my co-workers thought it was so funny and joked about it at every employee social gathering and party thereafter until I moved on to another job. The skirt was free. I got it out of a clothing donation bag. We went over to one of my co-worker's houses during our lunch break to go through clothes she was donating. The material is stretchy and form fitting. I used to wear it to work there. It's very comfortable. It's made by Express Tricot. 88% Tactel Nylon and 12% Lycra Spandex. Size S. Made in the USA.

I got the shirt right before I moved to LA from Boston from Filene's Basement. I don't remember how much it cost but it couldn't have been more than $20. I loved the color and the sleeves. I've actually worn the shirt a few times to more dressy events. I still like it but I think it's too low cut for me now and the waistline of the shirt is very loose fitting. It's made by Hot Tempered. The body is 46% polyester, 46% rayon and 8% spandex. The trim is 45% acetate and 55% rayon. Size M. Made in the USA.

I used to own a couple of long skirts with slits on the side. I always wore them with my knee high boots. I bought these boots specifically to wear with those skirts. I like them because the heel is very low (about 2 1/2 inches). I got the boots from zappos.com for between $30-$20. They're called Junipar Black Distress. Made by Annie.

Dress #42 Not Worn

Dress #41 Not Worn

I got this dress from Target back in 2010. I think it was $15. I only remember wearing it once to Universal Studios that same year. I liked the idea of a white sundress and think it's a cute dress but honestly I don't really like how the fit is on me. I feel like it just doesn't sit right on top. Universal was fun to visit but the park is basically empty. There's only a couple of rides. They always do a buy a day, get the rest of the year free pass just to get people to go. The dress is covered in white dots on the material and has a ruffled bottom on the skirt. It's made by Faded Glory. 100% cotton. Size 10. Made in India.
