Summer is coming to an end (well not really because the heat is still blazing) and I figured I might as well wear all of my pretty dresses before the windy, cool weather arrives.
This is an 80s floral dress that was given to me by a friend at the flea market-- I love the colors!
Also wearing a belt from Lemon Frog Shop and my go-to Lanvin platform sandals.
This is a another silk dress I found at a thrift shop... I twittered the other day that I cut the entire sleeve off to make it into a revealing one-shoulder gown. I definitely see potential wardrobe malfunctions in the future! Worn with a sample necklace I made.
This is another dress I'm re-working by cutting off the sleeves and adding some cool draping to the front. I'd like to wear this particular number for my birthday soon but I need to change those massive shoulder pads!
Anyway going to go grab an iced latte real quick!

amazing dress, I have a dress similiar, but in darker tones, it's also vintage :)
Intothefoldfashion.blogspot.com
I love the leopard dress!! so gorg! also if you find that you have problems with the dress slipping out of place I think 2 or 3 thin 1/2inch or so black strips (maybe even an elastic type of material) placed horizontally (holding the front and back of the dress together)will provide the support you need while still looking edgy and aesthetically pleasing =)
omg!!! you look FAB FAB FAB!!! love all tree dresses! can't wait to see final look of the third one!

Both of these dresses are gorgeous! I love the color of the first one and the very simple styling you did. The large hoop earrings are a perfect touch.
The second dress is elegant, especially with the one shoulder change. I guess you just can't move around too quickly in it? :) And again - LOOOOOVE the necklace!

That leopard dress is giving me life! I'm in love with it! I love reworking a dress!
You look fab and I'm really digging your sample necklace!
All those dresses are amazing, especially the leopard print one. And its so cute when u use the word "twittered" instead of tweeted. that's precious. And I like the lighting of the the three last pics of your potential birthday dress. The vintage feel of the pic combined with the vintage print on the dress is pretty cool.

Man I love those dresses I get great joy out of reworking my vintage clothes about half the clothes in my closet have had some sort of altering. I Love what you did to the dresses it's so awesome. Totally wishing I could go alter a plethora of dresses... and to fix the leapord print dress you can take a small bit of of the fabric you cut of and make a band to hold it together and sew it onat the most strategic point because that dress looks awesome on you. =)
loving the colors and the leopard of course who isnt??!!!!

What a great print!
I can see how the one shouldered dress could have some issues though, it's really pretty.
I want to see the one you're working on, good luck with it!
your creativity is amazing xoxo hautedolleyes.blogspot.com
The length of the first dress is very flattering. Makes your legs look great. You should try wearing that length more!
Oh, that leopard dress is tres sexy! I can see the potential for embarrassment, but I think it came out great!

I think you're amazing.
But I don't like your new hairstyle. It may be crazy and daring but it doesn't suit you.
I prefer your hair from one year ago. it was stunning.
Much love.
I'M SO ENSPIRED :))) THE DRESSES ARE DELICIOUS I CAN TASTE THEM...LOL
http://vannoybfashion-ronisha119.blogspot.com
You wear these intense prints so well. Love your adorable pixie cut.
xo, MOUSEVOX
Keep the shoulders in the last dress!! How many tats do you have and what do they say? Just noticed in these pics...
I think some gold chains at the side would look cool if you're worried about a wardrobe malfunction. Those are great dresses!
big fan of the 2nd one!!
I am not into either look, but good try in the salvage department. I don't like vintage clothes, I prefer trendy and being fashion forward. I do appreciate your style and you carry it well, but it doesn't suit me.
PS. You are such a pretty girl you should grow out your hair and change the color.
Such a pretty and vibrant print on that dress! Great job!

I like the cut of the leopard dress... but what about a small strap (maybe with a hock) underneath the arm to hold front and back together and to make you feel save? =)
