This dress turned up at the Goodwill in Muhlenberg, PA several months ago and I have been saving it for our vacation.
I loved the pattern right away, even before I saw it was from Ralph Lauren’s Denim & Supply brand.
Ralph Lauren has featured very classic American designs for the past 40 years and their Denim & Supply brand was established in 2011 to capture a younger, edgier audience with an eclectic mix of bohemianism and vintage, outdoorsy style.
The description from the Ralph Lauren website described this dress: “A Southwestern-inspired print accents the sweeping silhouette of this cotton jersey maxi dress—a cool choice for an outdoor concert or casual hangouts.” It retailed for approximately $90, but I picked up this beauty for only $5.50!
The dress was a bit big, but luckily I have a very talented mother and she was able to take it in for me. It features a rounded scoop neckline and a racer-style back. It was perfect for dinner out at our resort in the Outer Banks.
I added a straw tote with leather handles that I picked up at the Goodwill Outlet, a pendant necklace recently featured in another blog and my own heeled brown leather sandals.
I love this comfortable dress and will keep wearing it well into the fall with either a cardigan or a jean jacket.
