This past weekend, I went shopping with my mom and my cousin, both of whom I look up to immensely. We had a great time catching up, getting some Christmas shopping done, and looking for deals. One of the deals that I found was a dress from Macy's. It was originally $58, and I snagged it for $15. Woohoo!
I had reservations about the dress itself because the fit was just a bit odd, and I hated the belt that came with it. However, once I got home, I replaced the belt with a vintage belt that's attached to a dress I have from the late '50s/early '60s, and I layered a shirt under it to smooth out the fit. I added a long pendant necklace to draw the eye away from the weird shoulders of the dress and down to the fun belt, and I was good to go!
