Day 359: Scrap-Busting Dress
For today’s piece, we need to go back to Day 117 of this lil’ blog. 🙂 For those of you who were wondering what was going happen to the bottom part of this dress…wonder no more! 🙂 I needed something that would work as a cute coverup to wear erranding before I ventured over to a friend’s place for an afternoon swim!
