Remember that thrifting frenzy from last week? The one where I scored the most fashion forward vintage dress??? The dress that was only $5.98 and so before its time???
Well, it took a trip to alterations. And it's back.
Back and ready to be unveiled and styled.
And I think the best way to unveil it is in a side-by-side.........
I am in love. It really is what I envisioned when I spotted it on the rack
I kept it simple and went up and in a few inches. I liked the original shape of the dress, so I didn't want to deviate from that.
I thought styling it with a brown belt and shoes would be a nice contrast.
And how bout the chevron design on the bottom half?
It had me at hello.
