Many of you may laugh at the suggestion of restyling your bridesmaid dresses! Yes, I do have some in my closet I could never imagine restyling. I think my sister, Anne, may laugh very hard at the suggestion of restyling the ice pink satin bridesmaid dress she wore in my wedding. However, if you are lucky enough, you may have one (or maybe a neutral dress in your closet) you can restyle for several different occasions. My sister-in-law Grace had the smart thought to allow us to select our own style of navy bridesmaid cocktail dresses. Her thought was that we could wear the dress again and again. Here is a similar navy dress restyled four ways.
Happy (almost) spring! To say I'm not eagerly awaiting the arrival of spring would be like saying I'm not fond of shopping at all :) Honestly, I used to shop in a very random and unprepared way, which would drive me (and my husband) crazy. I lacked direction. I couldn't make up my mind and I spent hours and hours trying to decide what to buy when we would shop. Creating a "wish list" has been incredibly helpful. It allows me to better visualize what I love and what will work in my life and my closet. For the most part, I now can pass on the things that don't fit my list with a lot less regret. I stray, however, if it's an unexpected, incredible treasure - case in point, I just scored a Burberry Brit scarf at a price far too good to pass up. I've been waiting for this large scarf/wrap for seven years (no joke)!
So, this is my general list (not exact labels) I'm searching for this spring. I love the pink and yellow pops of color. The white jeans will be my spring "uniform" and I love the fresh look of a striped skirt and striped shoes. I especially love these Payless striped shoes because spring in New England can be so unkind. I absolutely hate to ruin an expensive pair of shoes in the mud! Many of my everyday shoes in the spring are inexpensive. My more expensive shoes are "fair weather" shoes!
