I often find things while thrift shopping that have great patterns but the fit is slightly off. My floral dress in the look below was originally a maxi and had shoulder pads in it. A little to House on the Prairie for my taste, but the floral patter was too cute, so I had to keep it. After removing the shoulder pads and cutting about a foot off the bottom I could keep the vintage floral pattern but not the old school fit.
Adding the nude leather belt helped modernize the shape of the dress along with mixing vintage and new items throughout the whole look. Lacey Amber Jewelry, a vintage leather purse and a light weight button down pulled my outfit together for a great work to dinner look.
My Bed|Stu gladiator Sandals were a great neutral shoe to tie it all together, they also were very close in color to my extra layering piece and pattern in the dress. perfection.
Do you have any thrift finds that need to be updated? I kept the bottom of my dress intact while cutting it and got an infinity scarf out of the deal as well!
Thanks for reading!
