I think the biggest thing about mistakes is that they cost so much, and it's hard to feel like you're "wasting" money by not wearing them. but better to face the truth and let someone else enjoy it.

You know what I would do with your dress? Quite simple and easy - I would cut it at the waist and make a small hem, then I would wear it with a pair of white linen trousers or a small navy skirt, with a scarf around the neck, hanging down a bit to give a vertical and slimming effect, or even use the skirt part to make a slim scarf on the bias, to make it an “ensemble” – and it would be rejuvenated and chic. I like your rose paintings – you have a bold stroke.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-91732437097128327152014-08-06T09:48:50.954-07:002014-08-06T09:48:50.954-07:00I took a few items off to the WIN thrift shop...wo...I took a few items off to the WIN thrift shop...women in need is a great agency here in our town which helps women so it is a cause near and dear to my heart.

I think you can wear stripes with a more streamlined style. The black knit dress is great on you. I have quite a few black knit dresses of different styles. I love them. <br /><br />Your painting is lovely. Do you ever frame and hang your work in your house? This one is certainly worthy of that.

Could it not be given a stay of execution, perhaps tried with a plain coloured cardigan or jacket to minimise the stripey effect? <br /><br />Your wraps look totally delicious.
