CHIC FOR CHEAP #1: PLEATED FLORAL PRINT DRESS BY KATIE

As a mom i make sacrifices on when to buy, what to buy or not to buy for myself, but there are times when i spot a good deal and it is so hard to pass up.

I walked into Katie, a pretty, little, girly clothing store on Queen's Street West about a week ago and i noticed this pleated dress in floral prints. I had barely even touched it when the lady working there, yanked it off the rack and said, "$9.99, only one left." I giggled and said, "Really? It is beautiful. "Yes, it is", she replied. I knew i wanted it, so i told her i would be back and asked her to put it on hold. I didn't want to buy something at the spur of the moment and i needed to walk the strip anyway before committing to buying anything i shouldn't be buying just yet. Long story short, the dress was gone by the time i went back...the next day. Yep, someone smarter than me bought it. I was crushed but i shook it off and went about my daily errands somewhere else only for me to stumble into another one of their locations. And there was the lovely pleated dress. Woohoo!! #happdayafterall
I therefore declare today Fab Find Friday on the blog.

This dress is perfect for any kind of event or occasion, such as date night, weddings as a guest, garden parties, lunch dates and more. The floral print and the color screams summer and i love it.
