Weekly Wears: Good Things

Rag curls from the day before, my current favorite dress (it changes all the time), the comfiest sandals I own, and a homemade daisy crown... all good things.  This dress was actually too long for my body and it looked pretty awful on me, but it was a good pattern/color/fabric so I ended up purchasing with the intention of altering it.  I took the shoulders up and it really did the trick (though I really need to go back and do a better job).  Now it fits and I've been wearing a different dress besides that black tank dress I became obsessed with for the last several weeks.

Dress: Marshall's;  Belt: vintage;  Shoes: c/o ModCloth;  Daisy crown: homemade;  Sunglasses: c/o BonLook

I hope you are having a great week so far!

    Love the dress! Next time you head to Marshall's give me a shout out. My mommy works there. I'm always up for a trip if you want a shopping buddy and to go through the backstock that they haven't put out yet. :-)

    Love this outfit! Such cool daisies! Do you have any tips for taking up shoulders on a dress? I have a nice lace dress from the UO sale ages ago, but it falls too low and long!

    I like finding the perfect dress and I usually become obsessed with it too and wear it until my kids give me grief about it.

    Its amazing how much adjusting the shoulders will fix a dress! I once had one that was a little loose on the top and I just adjusted the shoulders and it was perfect!
    Cute daisy crown!
