Day 96: Coffee Date Dress

I began my rather bleh bleary-eyed morning with a rather bleh navy dress.

Yikes! I need a better dress to put me in a better mood…stat!

First, I lopped of these silly things:

Day 96: Coffee Date Dress 3 — Bleh. And. Bleh.

Next, I tackled that completely un-fun length!

I turned the dress around to use the button-up back as my new button-up neck. I used that bottom scrap for a little sash action to cinch the waist of my new dress. My dress worked for work, as well as a little coffee-fueled reprieve! 🙂

Day 96: Coffee Date Dress 5 — From "Blah" to "Better"!

Day 96: Coffee Date Dress 6 — 3 cups a day!

Improving my dress improved my mood tremendously! The coffee didn’t hurt either. 😉

Cheers!

How do you just turn a dress around? Don’t you have a funny lumpy section in the back where the bust was?

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. 🙂 You just have to play with it and see what works! 🙂

Love the remake! Very stylish. Simplicity in line and color speaks volumes. You can just accessorize this new piece to change up the looks in the future. Great going.
