This is an easy daytime outfit, because it’s all about the dress. It is a re-styled vintage piece purchased from a thrift store, with the original hem hitting me mid-calf. I took it to the tailor and had the hem shortened. I am in love with the print. Isn’t it cute?

Now, when I bought the dress, I knew I was going to have the hem shortened. And I originally planned on wearing it with short, slouchy cowboy boots. But these summer platforms work, too.

White accessories do this dress justice. Now that you can see it all, can you imagine how dowdy this dress originally looked with a hem that hit me mid-calf? All it takes is a little imagination to see the potential in a thrift store dress. You should try it sometime.

The Outfit: Vintage dress by Karin Stevens; shoes by Marc by Marc Jacobs; BluBlocker sunglasses.
