I really am an old woman. It's terrible. The past few weekends I have been going out with girlfriends (eating delicious Indian food and drinking champagne) and staying out until the wee hours of the morning (dancing/more champagne)... but then it takes me all day Saturday and part of Sunday to recover. There were several things I was supposed to do this weekend that didn't end up happening, but that's okay I guess. I did get some writing done. And alphabetized all of our bookshelves...
(dress/scarf/belt: thrifted; boots: seychelles)
This dress was to the floor when I thrifted it from Goodwill, which (as you know) is a length I have recently embraced. However, I would look way too Big Love in a full length wool dress with puffy sleeves. Not happening. It's obvious that this dress was handmade, which is pretty impressive. I hope someday my sewing skills improve beyond the odd hem job (I actually hemmed this one on my sewing machine, which was a first).
Love this!! So fall perfect, seriously you were meant to dress for fall I think. The scarf and dress are really wonderful

You did a good job chopping this dress down! Or should I say up? Anyhow, it definitely doesn't look Big Love at this length, and the dark navy is a good color for you. That last picture with the leaf is cracking me up!
ReplyDeleteI love vintage hand made pieces the most. Some girls were so good at making their own clothes, I really like the simple lines of your dress. I'm with you on the old lady thing. I can't really handle the hang overs like I used to.
ReplyDeletethe dress came out great. I cant hem anything so your sewing skills blow my mind :)
ReplyDeleteGreat color, and trimming the length was a great idea.
ReplyDeleteI have the same problem on the weekends. I'll stay up late one night and then it takes me 2 days to feel better. Probably a sign I should slow down a little but I've basically been ignoring those signs.
I always love how you incorporate your pretty scarves into the outfits! :)
