There are two things I could never do...
1) Kiss a boy who's leaning away from me and
2) leave a $30 Chocolate Chip dress hanging in the Anthropologie store
(even if that dress is 5 sizes too big).
Size 12 and I went on a little adventure together;
I took in side seams, adjusted the
strap length and reattached the waist band.
She compromised. I compromised.
And at the end of the day, it was a love affair.
(Anthropologie Chocolate Chip Dress, Precious Materials Cardigan, Un-named Seed Pearl Headband, Pale Pink Raffia shoes so old I can't even see the label any more)
Kristina!!! You look amazing in that outfit - I LOVE the chocolate chip dress with the precious metals cardi...and now I may need to get myself a precious metals cardi....
ReplyDeleteI am in awe, once again, at your skills.
i love how this looks together and you look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you did all the alterations..you have some serious skills!
I may need a sewing tutorial:D
I will repeat what everyone else has said...I like how you paired these two items together. And the headband is a great compliment.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful dress... and with this cardigan... swoon :) I know why you couldn't pass up the deal!
ReplyDeleteHas there been a 2nd adjustment on the Chocolate Chip dress? I got mine last week for $59.95. I own both items, thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteWow, lady! Way to make it work! I am continually impressed by your sewing and tailoring prowess. I have a pile of about two skirts, four pairs of pants, a dress and three blazers that are waiting for me to make simple alterations, and I keep finding an excuse to put it off.
ReplyDeleteThanks all...4-H works, huh? Sewed my first skirt at 10...it was a drawstring...tee,hee...
ReplyDeleteett, this was the last dress hanging on the rack...It didn't look damaged, so I'm not sure why it was so cheap.
I am SO impressed with your sewing prowess! You did an awesome job tailoring this dress, and you look LOVELY in these photos. And now for the first time ever, I am lemming the Precious Materials cardigan, thanks to you!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely darling!
ReplyDeleteYou are so cute. I love how you wrote this blog, about the love-affair with this dress. LOL I also love the cute, fun and inspiring names that Anthropologie gives to its clothes. ;-) The dress looks even better on you. The cardi and headband are cute, too.
