Weekly Wears: How Does Your Garden Grow

I found this maxi dress at a cute shop last week.  It was too long and the sleeves were too tight, but the fabric was lovely enough to convince me to take it home.  There were a few different options for this dress, but in the end i decided to shorten it and open up the sleeves a bit.  I know that hemming a dress isn't a super big deal, but I did it verrrrryyyy carefully because I was terrified of messing up such a lovely piece!

 Dress: vintage;  Tights: Target;  Shoes: Golden Ponies via Etsy;  

Necklace: gift from my MIL

It's quickly becoming one of my very favorite dresses!  I spent the rest of that night hemming and taking in other dresses-- I've got quite the growing collection of *almost* perfect vintage pieces that don't *quite* fit me in all the right places.  Which reminds me...

Here's a tip:  after you have a baby, don't spend a bunch of money on new clothes because you're excited to wear pretty things again.  You may just keep shrinking (which I'm not complaining about) and end up with a group of amazing dresses that look terrible on you.  Do buy a few things and love yourself in them, but don't do what I did.  Why am I saying all of this?  Well, it's the long way around letting you know that I will be doing another "shop my closet" in the next week or two.  This round will be some really great pieces, so I'll be sure to keep you updated in case you are interested in snagging anything. 

Have a great Tuesday!  xoxo Katie
