The weekend continues!! Last day off before the work week begins, so it's off to the beaches... Before the trip down PCH begins, we gotta figure out the outfit. A little bit of color and frills for a day on the sand.
Looks not so bad, eh? The fabric is pretty stellar - I'm loving the purples, pinks, aquas and beiges blended together. One problem...that dress has a complete tear all the way up and down the center of it. I'm holding it together at the waist, but check it out.
That's the right side of it and you can only imagine what the left one looks like. Not into wearing a sleeveless robe today, so fixing here we come.
First thing's first. Pin the front of the dress together!!!
Next, pin each side of the dress about an inch to make it a little more fitted.
Third step...sew!!
There really wasn't much to this one. When I originally found this dress, I'm sure it had passed through many, many hands because of its wear and [BIG] tear, however I saw the easy potential of making it chic again.
Hello Pacific Ocean :)
It was my fab friend TJ's birthday and in tradition it was spent beachside in Santa Monica. He gathered the peeps...
He gathered the grub...
And it was the best way to close out the holiday weekend. I mean, get a load of this...
Nothing beats continuing the Independence Day celebration more than good pals, good food and beer coozies with your face on them in celebration of your birthin' day.
And the food didn't finish there...
I mean, seriously? The Uncle Sam hat cake from Gelson's (Viktor Benes bakery-style!) was exactly the way to close up the day. Well that and the margarita I was sipping from a red plastic cup.
Hope everyone had a blissful weekend!
