dorothy perkins Multi stripe flare belt dress

A couple of days before my birthday, I saw KisforKinky’s budget buy post about this Dorothy Perkins dress.  Her “budget buy” posts generally feature a hot fashion item for less than $100.  It was listed for $89 yesterday, but before I can click place in shopping bag, I got distracted. 

The Dorothy Perkins brand is a popular European fashion house but is now offered in the US.  They have some great fashion-forward pieces and all for a reasonable price.  I also LOVE the fact that most of their items are machine-washable!! When you have two under the age of five, it’s the little things, people!

To my surprise, I woke up this morning and the dress was $27!!!!  And I got an additional 15% off (promotional code received when you sign up for their emails).  I was so giddy I started shopping around and picked up two more items at very low prices.  You gotta LOVE your blog friends!  Thanks KisforKinky and Happy Birthday to ME!

p.s.  I bought a size 6 in this dress — assuming it is inline with euro sizes.  I wear a size 2 at Jcrew — tops and bottoms.  There is one pair of pants I purchased a size 4 in for a looser fit, but I usually do fine with a 2 or Tall 2.

Stay Shopping, tm2
