Old as New :: Butterfly Kisses

Happy Monday!  Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend!  I’m going to play dress up with y’all this week so I can show you my newly altered thrifted dresses.  I’ve had some of these for years, but just got around to having them altered last month.  {Shows you how organized I am!}  Some gals don’t like to dress up, but that is my FAVORITE part of getting ready!

I bought this silk dress a couple of years ago at a resale shop when I was in Vancouver with Mr. S for a business trip.  {This is for you Kay!}  It was $20 and had a huge velvet ribbon bow that looked like a spider web on the the front!  That was immediately removed.  Besides that, the dress was a little too big, had a pointy chest area {I think it was from the Mad Men era}, and was not a flattering length for me.  I was willing to wear it anyways, but the pointy boobs thing kept me from dawning it in public!  Fast forward to last month when I decided that “enough was enough” and I needed to wear this dress for Spring!

P.S. For those of you who let me know that couldn’t comment previously, it should be fixed!  :)
