2 for 1!


This dress was a no brainer for me. I knew the botom half could be made into a skirt, and the top half just took me awhile to decide on.

Extra Flower Time

I loved the flowers on this dress! Yes it's way bright and scary as is, but I knew I could tame it down. It had huge shoulder pads and came with a matching belt.

Maternity Dress Makeover

I saw this dress in the store and knew exactly what to do to it! Only when I checked the label did I find out that it was originally a maternity dress... it had cords on the side to tie in back and buttons going down the front.

Yes, this was originally a Liz Clairborne creation.... it's amazing how fashion changes! When I saw this dress, I immediately loved the buttons- but the rest of it reminded me of a politician's dress from way back when.
