Green Dress Part 2

Part 2 is comprised of 4 different looks. I'm sort of, kinda, totally in love with this dress. I feel like this shade of green & this cut is just really versatile. I want to wear it...a lot. Everyone needs a green dress in their closet. ;)

Look 4

The 3 belts worn, coral blazer & black booties are all from Target. The gray sweatshirt, coral flats & gold flats are from Old Navy, all sale/clearance. The 2 necklaces are from Purple Peridot. They have great prices! I've been waiting for the perfect piece to wear with the pink (thrifted for $6!) jacket for ages as well, so I was super excited about this pairing.

Green Dress Part 1

As soon as I saw this dress, I grabbed it. It had so much unexplored potential and I couldn't wait to play with it! The first thing I decided to do was dye it from it's original yellow to a more flattering green. I picked up the dye from Beverly's for about $3.50 & went to work. The dying was fairly easy since I could just throw it in the wash + add salt and let it do it's thing. After that was done, I cut off 6 inches & did a zig zag stitch just to finish it. I like to think of it as efficient hemming. :) Once that was all completed, I started playing with styling options. There were just so many! Thus, this week's posts are all about the green dress.

I actually wore this outfit to have some solo time (it's the pinnacle of excitement to drink coffee alone) + take my oldest trick or treating. It's relaxed & comfortable, but still put-together and not sloppy. Plus, pearls look good with just about anything!

As comfortable as yoga pants...

The promised skirt tutorial will be up on Tuesday y'all! I ran out of time this week, so it'll be posted next week. With that being said, this was my running errands-playing with the kids-hitting up target outfit. It's just as comfortable as yoga pants & a tank, but looks a smidgen more put together. The sunnies were an impulse purchase from Target & I'm so glad I got them! Who can resist polka dots?! I certainly can't.

Chevron & Anchors

Continuing with my love of chevron + being crafty, one of the outfits in this post is a chevron skirt I made. It's SO easy. Of course, my fabric came from Savannah Sewing. I may live thousands of miles away, but I'll always get my favorite fabrics from there. I'd originally bought this fabric with the intention of making pillows or a makeup bag, but changed my mind. It's a heavier weight, so it's perfect for fall & winter too! The best part of this skirt is that I no longer have in it my possession as I sold it to a good friend of mine. The other skirt I made for a tea that I attended with the Spouse Association here. This skirt was even easier to make!

Made 2 chevron skirts-1 for my mom!

The skirt itself is super easy to make. I'll have a tutorial for it Thursday! :) 

Peplum + Skinny Jeans

I'm officially a peplum convert. This lovely top came from TJ Maxx for only $10! Best part, it's a Laundry by Shelli Segal top that normally goes for over $100. I totally did a happy dance when I was checking out the tag. If you haven't checked out TJ Maxx, seriously...go, now. They have some pretty fabulous items there. I'm a huge Lilly Pulitzer fanatic and have found a ton of home, kitchen & phone accessories as well. Now if only I could find Kate Spade clothing in my size...
