EVERYTHING THAT'S OLD IS NEW AGAIN

If you've been reading my blog for a while now and you've got great attention to detail, then you may recognize this dress. I'll give you a dollar if you do.

It's such a sleek shape (my husband says it "fits like a glove") and paired with studded snake skin sandals (Ross, $9) and a roughed up safari jacket (thrifted, $2) it takes on an edgy bohemian vibe. Totally diggin' it.

The dress is actually a one-shouldered number, which gives it a really cool looking neckline under the jacket. The pink strap is actually my bra (I cheated and wore a regular bra since I knew the jacket wasn't coming off).

I'm soooo glad it's Friday. Ready for some WNTW and a relaxing holiday weekend. I'm running in the Firecracker 4K in the morning and doing a lotta grillin' in the afternoon.

Yay for the sunshine that's (FINALLY) coming our way!

Did you figure it out? It's my junior prom dress!

  9. Wow! Way to reuse and recycle. I love how you've turned a formal dress into an everyday maxi. If only I could figure out to do with all my prom/bridesmaid dresses. :P
