Outfit Rewind: Blue Vintage Leopard Print Dress

I loved this leopard print dress that Cathy in NC sent my way to use!

When I wore it the first time, only a few weeks ago, I made it into a top that I paired with jeans:

(For a refresher on the full post, click HERE!)  For the second wear, I went this route...

LEATHER!!!

I was invited to a chic, punk themed party (à la the Met Ball) so I thought this pairing would be perfect.

A little leopard print/leather mix was just the right amount of edge for the soiree!  I even crafted a little Alexander McQueen/tartan-esque fascinator to wear as well!

It seems like blue was the color of choice for the evening, because RNW was rocking the same hue!

JMT and I flanked the birthday girl and he even got into the DIY spirit and wore a safety pin tie!!  I want to safety pin something too now!

We had a fun night taking oodles of photos...

...and pointing out our matching skirts...

I even got a pic with the birthday girl, showing off the clip that I made her!  She had fab blue extensions in her hair and the round rhinestone/chain link/pearl clip was just the bit of bling to make her updo sparkle!

By the end of the night we were all danced out.  The warm coat went on and home we went.

Such a fun themed night to re-wear my top in a completely different way!

I think I'm going with LOOK #2 as my fave!  What do you guys think?

Outfit Rewind: Leopard Print Teaser

Happy Monday!  The full post will be up later this afternoon, but in the interim here's a little teaser. I went back and re-wore the top that came from this belle of a dress...

...and made a fascinator to accompany it.

There was a punk rock party on the agenda this past weekend, and my blue, glittered, leopard print top was exactly what I was going to wear.  Photos to come...

Becky's NDAD Creation

I loved the piece that Becky submitted because it's getting me excited for Thanksgiving! I know, it's cold and out and this fun and tropical print doesn't scream turkey and mashed potatoes, however I'm spending Thanksgiving at the beach this year! I'm having a destination Thanksgiving next week and I've been working away on some fun, summery pieces. You'll get to see those soon, but in the interim, check out B's piece. I LOVE it!!

I found your website, your glorious website that has taken a large chunk of my life, on Facebook. After going back through all your refashions, I told you it took a large chunk of my life, I decided to try my hand at refashioning.

I love this bold print that Becky picked out, however there's some work that needs to be done!  See what she does...

Well, I made plenty of mistakes, my dress smelled like BO and/or mothballs, but I had a blast! A few hours, and bucks, later I had a brand new dress to call my own.

Thanks for all the inspiration and fun you have brought into my life. This will not be my last refashion!

YAY!! I'm so glad that you've only just begun, Becky.  You're on a roll and I can't wait to see what else you crank out. Lookin' fab girl, lookin' fab!
