All Good Things

Patience is a virtue and all good things come to those who wait, or so the sayings go.  In all my many decades of fashion love, I have learned that more often than not, patience will yield very good things and substantial savings.  There's always the small risk of missing out if you don't buy immediately and pay full retail, but I overwhelmingly I have found that the things I want will either last until the sale or turn up for resale down the road like this pretty little telephone print dress by Porridge/Anthropologie.  I first saw this dress probably 10-ish years ago and have watched and waited for just the right thrifted price/condition combo until I finally found one.

Of course there have been dresses that I felt I would forever regret if I missed out and so opted to pay full price only to more often than not see droves of them on thrift sites for years to come and at a fraction of what I shelled out.  And there have been times I waited for the sale that never came and the thrift bargain that never manifested, which is why I still do not own the Eva Franco Matryoshka dress.  

There are exceptions to every rule, but generally speaking, if you just watch (the fun part), and wait (the not so fun part), the good things will eventually cross your path.
