26 Days Til I Do!

Day 26 is here and this dress is a doozie!

There's a whole lotta lace...

...and a whole lotta sleeve going on!

I mean there is really lace trim everywhere.

I don't love that the lace is ivory and the rest of the dress is white, so I'm going to do a little color change!

Yellow dye, here we come! Once the dress was finished going through the cycle, I thought keeping the cool lace sleeves short, removing the longer portion underneath, would be the best bet!

So, now it was time to turn this into a super cute mini!!

Sadly I trimmed too short (😳) SO, I had to make an alternate plan. How about adding a long skirt on top to hide my mistake?

This works, right? Because look how short...

Even though this wasn't the original plan, I'm digging how it turned out!

Paired with a yellow braided, woven clutch, I think the whole outfit came together rather nicely!

I love having to think of alternate options when things like this happen! I'm so glad I kept this skirt in the collection! 😂
