Maxi Dress in 5 Ways

Wore this lovely dress to church today

with the purple top (outfit 1) in the picture

and got some very sweet compliments.

I love it to pieces
but with fall expected to come early this year, 

I want to keep it suitable 

when the weather starts to cool down.
So here goes the 5 ways..

The last 4 are a very typical for my office wear.

Hope you all had a blessed weekend! :)

DIY: Bow Top

I have been drooling over bow tops since the beginning of this year.

But I deferred to shop for one online.

I've given up, knowing too well, I'll end up with something too big on me.

Thankfully, thrift stores exist!

I found this top at the junior's rack and fell in love with the chiffon and its gold accents.

I was skeptical it looks big but thought, I could always alter it.

Now look, it is well worth it!

Paired with this pretty lace skirt..

And accented with nude patent pumps and my LVoely manhattan purse.

Here I am..

Grateful for my recovery from almost a week's torture of tummy discomfort.

Hope you all had a great weekend!

My 20cents Top

I wish I have some DIY tutorial to share today.

However, it was such a gloomy day 

that called the couch potato in me to play its wonderful role.

 But really, I just want to show off my thrifted top!

Soo comfy and perfect for the wet weather today.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

DIY: Dress Into A Blouse

I ordered this dress from Ebay. 

Although it was advertised with pretty pictures, 

I was disappointed when I tried it on.

It was too big on me and too short for my liking.

Returns and exchanges cannot be an option

since I'll have to pay for the shipping.

So my solution was to alter the dress to my size

and make it a suitable blouse.

1. I removed the side zipper of the dress.

2.  Sew the white lines (see first picture above) on the sides of the dress.

3. Cut the dress short through horizontal white line (see first picture above) and hem.

First, it felt like I may have chopped the dress way too short for my blouse.

Thankfully, I'm a shorty myself so it's no biggy.

Matching blue and yellow makes a totally pretty outfit. Don't you think?

 But until people from church pointed it out, I did not realize, 

I was actually wearing a Snow White outfit.
