Babe Night
Left to Right: Carissa in leopard and an altered Def Leppard tee, Jessica in a feminine pink and white striped (vintage) romper, Erin wearing a blue tulle empire waist tank and a leopard skirt, Ramona in a denim romper bought new for $1.97 (and denim shoes, denim jacket, and denim purse).
Carissa gifted me that thrifted one piece (singlet!?) and let me borrow her favorite pink toggle belt for the evening. It was unbelievably comfortable! Can you tell I've been eating my vegetables lately?
A Big Twelve Inch Difference
Two weeks ago, I bought this slip.
I loved its interesting detail on the bust, but the calf-length is incredibly unflattering on me. Not to mention, the length made it unquestionably lingerie-y, making it awkward to wear in Iowa public.
Snip snip, a foot off the bottom and BLAM! Perfect little black dress.
Bonus: the material is such that is doesn't require a hem! Just a nice, even cut and no-sew-here-we-go.
Dress, $3.38--Shoes, $4.38
