The 2 Dollar Dress
Yesterday while shopping for ribbons at Dressew I checked out the scrap fabric section and decided to fashion myself a wrap dress out of a slinky green fabric. I added a black belt and coral tassels (also from Dressew) and it was ready to wear! For 2 bucks, this is recession shopping at its finest, I think. Looks like I'll have quite a few scarf/scrap fabric dresses to wear this summer.

This kind of reminds me of the Louis Vuitton kimono belts from the Spring 09 collection.
Amy: I took another look at those belts just now. They're much prettier than what I dug up! I love how DIY that Louis Vuitton collection looked though.
2 bucks? Recession shopping at its finest indeed! It looks good too!
Gasp! your blog has evolved. Back on the everyday reading list for me. I also loveee your focus on fashion - the collages you make are amazing to look at and your picks of the looks are fantastic.
what a great outfit!
Beautiful! I didn't know it was just a scrap fabric until I read your blog. :D
Hello, I've not been past in a while, please forgive me!
You make a $2 dress look like a $200 dress, just goes to show that if you've got style it's at any price.
You look divine.

Just recently started reading your blog, and wanted to tell you that the dress is so gorgeous! I never would have guessed that it only cost you two dollars.

I love that look!
This is really excellent! =) It totally looks like something you'd buy off the rack in a store for WAY more than $2. You're so creative! Love the addition of the tassel. Haha seems like tassels are on your mind now! (with those aldo shoes too)
