Some of you may have noticed that I freaked out earlier today over my outfit. It started before I left the house. See, last night I took the scissors to some things because I wanted to wear my brown boots. And I seriously have nothing to go with my brown boots.
My initial thought was to remove the inner top of a dress (which functioned as a shelf bra, or for me, a boobie smasher) and just let the criss-cross fabric in front do it's job. That worked out nicely, and it looked good, but the dress it's too long to be worn with these boots, and I didn't really feel up to hemming a dress (this is the second one in line. I need a sewing machine!).
I pulled out
the purple sweater dress and chopped the neck off. There's no seam or anything, so I just like, CUT IT. I know you are saying "she is crazy" and "what a weirdo" because I just chopped the neck off my dress all haphazardly like that. But it's NOT haphazardly, it's straight as I could have cut it, and I LIKE it now, so shut up.
Then I had this top from Target that I've been fantisizing for a long time about cutting up. I dont know why, but I decided that it would make a perfect shrug. The sleeves are long like I like them, and I could make it the length that I wanted. But I just sliced this off too. No sewing or anything, just cutting! WTF AM I THINKING?!?! But I like it. It was a great top for it too because it's that inside out looking type with the rolly seams and everything, so you can just whack it off and the edges roll up and voila!
I just now realized that I covered up the cut I made with the arms! HAHAHAHAHA! You can't see the cut I made in this picture! Damn! I didn't intend for that either, I was just trying to get the sleeves up in the shot. I'm always in such a rush when I take photos at home because everyone (dog, cat, daughter) is crying for food or attention or something. I'll get you a picture of how I cut it. I promise it's not all crooked or anything.
The dress without the cut up clothing. Oh wait, it IS cut up clothing.
Boots. Payless, last year.
Are you judging me now? I hope not. Because I'm very HAPPY. Even though I did freak out a little bit.
I think I was mainly freaked out over the color combination, followed by wearing boots with a short dress, followed by the alterations that I made. But I'm over it now that the day is over.
I need those earrings that I have yet to pay for to go with this outfit. This Friday, honest!!
This is what I'm wearing tonight. My daughter considers this "naked". And probably inappropriate for posting on my blog, but whatever.
