That\u2019s what happened with this colorful maxi dress. I have a lot of dresses, because of their fun and ease in getting dressed (one piece vs. two) and was not looking to get another summery maxi dress. Then I came across this beauty.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo-Jul-07-10-56-46-AM.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3745\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo-Jul-07-10-56-46-AM-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" data-size=\"3024x4032\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo-Jul-07-10-56-46-AM-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo-Jul-07-10-56-46-AM-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo-Jul-07-10-56-46-AM-840x1120.jpg 840w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/> <\/a><\/p>\n<p>The tag was cut out, so I have no idea on the size or the brand; however, once I tried it on and it was a perfect fit, I knew it was coming home with me. The splashes of vibrant color, the ruffles and the fact that I could wear it with flats and not have to hem it, made it something I\u2019ll want to wear again and again this summer.<\/p>\n<p>As I was checking out, the bright pink and orange shell necklace caught my eye and in the bag it went! It\u2019ll look great with simpler outfits as well.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo-Jul-07-10-49-16-AM.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3743\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo-Jul-07-10-49-16-AM-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" data-size=\"3024x4032\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo-Jul-07-10-49-16-AM-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo-Jul-07-10-49-16-AM-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo-Jul-07-10-49-16-AM-840x1120.jpg 840w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/> <\/a><\/p>\n<p>The handbag from Ann Taylor Loft was a great find at the Reading Outlet.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo-Jul-07-10-55-11-AM-e1531747991665.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3744\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo-Jul-07-10-55-11-AM-e1531747991665-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" data-size=\"3024x4032\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo-Jul-07-10-55-11-AM-e1531747991665-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo-Jul-07-10-55-11-AM-e1531747991665-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo-Jul-07-10-55-11-AM-e1531747991665-840x1120.jpg 840w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/> <\/a> It has a unique pieced outer layer and an ivory fabric lining. Prices at Goodwill outlets are typically by the pound, so I am estimating I spent about $1.50 on it. But, it probably retailed for about $75 when new.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, these adorable bejeweled flip-flops from Aloha Island really complete the summer fun look.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo-Jul-07-11-40-46-AM.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3747\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo-Jul-07-11-40-46-AM-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" data-size=\"2600x2601\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo-Jul-07-11-40-46-AM-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo-Jul-07-11-40-46-AM-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo-Jul-07-11-40-46-AM-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo-Jul-07-11-40-46-AM-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo-Jul-07-11-40-46-AM-840x840.jpg 840w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/> <\/a> They are comfortable and sassy and I love them with this dress, but they will compliment jeans and shorts as well.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo-Jul-07-10-59-24-AM-e1531747977434.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3746\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo-Jul-07-10-59-24-AM-e1531747977434-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" data-size=\"3024x4032\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo-Jul-07-10-59-24-AM-e1531747977434-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo-Jul-07-10-59-24-AM-e1531747977434-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo-Jul-07-10-59-24-AM-e1531747977434-840x1120.jpg 840w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/> <\/a><\/p>\n<p>The beauty of Goodwill Keystone Area stores is that every visit is a treasure hunt and you never know what you will find.
