OK, I just couldn't resist a little theme week before we start anew in January!! Thanks to CB for coming up with the name...welcome to the first annual New Dress A (Holi-)Day Week!! See how I mentioned first annual...yeah, this one's a keeper!!
Tis the season for holiday parties aplenty, right! Be it work soirees, cocktail parties, or holiday shindigs with friends, there's lots of gathering and celebrating to be had. Now I don't know about you, but I'm still on a budget this season and am going to craft some fun ensembles for all the get-togethers without spending any serious cash. Guess who's got two thumbs and is back to one dollaring this week...this girl!!
Tonight's ensemble began looking a little bit like this...
I mean get a look at those velvet edges!
First thing I did was cut off those sleeves!
I got scissor happy and hit the length next!
Now you see it...
Now you don't!
Once the collar was removed, I got to pinning. Prepped a new seam up top and pinned the sides where I was going to take it in...
...and then got the dress ready for a new hem...
...and got to sewing. Paired with some vintage gold bling, a red belt and some black tights and boots, my dress was ready for holiday-ing!!
(In case you'd like a view from behind...)
Met up with my plaidsie boys JS and RM and took a little Norman Rockwell-esque shot...
before plaid-ing it up with my other plaidsie pal.
We sipped...
We nibbled...
We danced...
We posed...
We got pooped...
Just one party down...more gatherings to come this week!!
