So many people have asked where I got the “summer floral” shirt I wore on the post earlier this week. So remember when I did my post on sample sales? Well look what I found at the bottom of the box at a BLK Denim sample sale. Next step was trying it for size and to make sure the print was not too overwhelming for me.
For a fraction, and I mean a fraction of the original retail price I got myself a floral I could bear wearing and have been waiting to break it out. For me the fun is digging deep into those boxes and finding something wonderful. So those are the details on what I am wearing this week.
So I tried to expand my horizons and see what other summer florals might be interesting and might lead to some experimentation and posted them on my Pinterest board: Accidental Icon Sort of Loves Summer Florals.
Did you ever find something wonderful to wear at the bottom of a box?
I am an avowed printophile and I just have to say that your Floral Pinterest board is off-the-charts. Love it!
Thanks, I actually imagined myself wearing some of them!
My best friend, Joan, and I bought a box of skirts at the army and navy in 1968. We were fifteen and planned to remake all of them…the kilt was the one I remember imagining as a mini-kilt. They stayed in the box while we went on to the next adventure but I am still remaking.

Such a great story and how wonderful you went on to future re-making.
An amazing find and what a deal!

I have found some awesome things at the bottom of a box…. I will have to say the best, (and still have), are 2 1920’s/1930’s vintage dresses. One was very Daisy B. from the Great Gatsby…art deco, black, sheer, and beaded. The other is a black velvet, bias-cut gown. What is great about them is they are classics, always fit, and I paid $20 each.
Thank you for the awesome forum & inspiration you provide here.
