Darling Alteration: Simple Taupe Dress

It's been awhile and I finallyyy have got into the groove of things. My mind has been somewhere else for awhile and now I'm truly back! Haha.

With this alteration I kept the dress pretty simple because I love the color and texture of the material. It speaks for itself without having too much going on.

 I thrifted this dress for about $3.50 in a size 10. The dress did not have much shape to it at all.

I cut the dress length in half and hemmed the bottom. I altered the waist to fit my figure and added two creases to add more shape to the dress. With the extra fabric I made a detachable bow belt for when I want to wear the dress with or without it. :)

 I wore my white pumps, rosegold watch, and pearl earrings with this simple and classy dress. I sure love the simplicity.

Now, I just need an occasion to wear this lovely dress out! :)

Darling Alteration: Peach High Low Plunge Back Dress

I'm finallyyyy baaacckkkkkk and finished with my latest alteration that took about 3 weeks because I was so busy! Haha! So, as usual this is another over-sized thrifted dress ($3) turned into a cute little spring and summertime dress. I love the peach color, makes me look very tan. ;)

The dress before-- over-sized and not so flattering:

I wanted to keep the dress very simple so I can easily keep it casual or dress it up with accessories whenever I please. I made a plunge back and high low bottom (I'm obsessed).

I added a cognac braided belt to add some shape and flow.

Keep in mind, anything that is over-sized can always turn into something magnificent with a little patience, alteration and a belt! :)

Spring Stylin'

If you want to make your own high waisted destroyed cut off denim shorts, here's the diy from my previous post. :)

My outfit for today consisted of a white lace tank, high waisted shorts, charcoal cardigan, gold glitter flats, and bronze filgree leaf earrings. Girly, simple, and fun.
