The wearing of the faded sun dress

My day in the dress and your all of your advice..

Vintage Vixen, Pull your socks up!, 1950's_atomic_ranch_house, Barefeet In The Kitchen, Kitty, Misfits Vintage & VintageSweetheart All said to wear the dress as is. Which I did.. And I found while wearing it the fade really did not bother me! In fact for now it has grown on me.

Nelly just could not decide what I should do with the dress and told me to

"Go with what the smart people above her had wrote" So that is why I just stood here lost holding this leopard umbrella I love. It was sprinkling outside when I took these.

I have no clue why but I am always drawn to this style of dress. They are not very figure flattering... especially due to the fact I am about 5'4" *lol* But in the hot summer they are breezy and cool, whats not to love about that? Pardon my paleness! I have not tanned once this year.. And even when the rest of my body tans my legs usually don't. I think I was born with spf 50 legs!

"One time when I was outside trying to tan my next door neighbor called me *Pale face*"

Des from Pull up your socks! said "Just wack on heaps of nutty plastic jewellery and it will look awesome with some mental shoes" (MENTAL SHOES)?! Are these mental enough? "What you can't see them cause my legs are blinding you? *AHAHAH*

THESE!! Just look at all those little volleyballs even a black flag in there that says *SPIKE* "I am really not sure if this is what she meant.. but heck I hope I was close.


fallingonabruise, & Cry Suggested either making it into a bag or dying it. (Perdita also suggested dying)
Now of course I did not want to cut it up, but I do have to admit it kinda would make a cute beach bag. Maybe had it been dyed it would have turned out something like this.

Now if it would turn out like this that would be quite alright but I had big worries that the red would turn some kinda brown and I really didn't want that.

The white dress I was wearing in the picture where the dress is supposed to be a handbag was a thrift find from 2 weeks ago. It was included in a $5 clothing bag sale. I washed it up and then hung it and had slightly forgotten about it. Didn't even try it on *GASP* So when I needed to put on a diff dress I grabbed it and I am glad I did. I freaking adore it!!! I am happier now about it than the day I found it. It has a nice big flowy skirt. When I was wearing it I thought... "Oh I want to wear this alot" Then my mind said: (No you will wear it out, get it dirty and wreck it.) Then I told my mind "Remember Kittys blog post (ENJOY THE THINGS YOU LOVE) don't save them for later. When I had the dress on I felt like a princess.

Only 1/2 of the bottom had that cute cut-out design. *how fun*

The dress is a little see through so don't look too hard... HA


*FLASHER ALERT* Thank God the mailman had already came "wouldn't that be embarrassing" I mean how would I even explain...

Remember the orange and white background for the items I showed you I bought in yesterdays post?? I totally forgot to tell you about it. It's this lovely blanket. I paid $2 for it. Besides one small mark the size of a penny and one small worn circle the size of a quarter... it's perfect! I love the fringe

Tomorrow morning I have an appointment to go get, and learn how to use contact lenses. *I am nervous* What if I poke myself in the eye a bunch of times when they are teaching me how to put them in? *LOL* I asked my Mom if I should cut my nails.. *She laughed and said no.. my nails shouldn't go in my eye* I like my glasses but have not worn ANY SUNNIES at all this year.. I need contacts so I can shade my eyes of the bright sun. Plus I have the sweetest pair of green vintage sunglasses I want to rock a few times before fall. I plan to wear contacts 50% of the time and my glasses the other half.

Thank you to all my followers! You guys are all great and a buncha fun!
It's almost Friday! (I hear Angels singing in the distance)
*WINK*

Vintage sundress Partly faded (What would you do?)

Hello you guys! I purchased a vintage sundress yesterday at a thrift store for $1.50. Now normally I would not purchase something with a big flaw but I just couldn't help it! I thought it was way too cute to leave behind. (Plus I love any Hawaii stuff) Trouble is 1/4 of the dress is faded. (Top straps and half of the boob area.) My idea was to get a navy blue dye and re-dye the dress. Now I know if I do that the red is gonna turn a different color.. do you think it will turn brown or purpley? *lol* Hopefully someone knows.

I really don't have another idea other than only dipping the top half in dye.. but I think that might look a little silly.. and we all know we don't wanna look silly!

The dress is 100% cotton so it shouldn't be a issue dyeing.

Below is the pic of one of the straps twisted MAJOR fading on outside nice and new inside *lol*


What would you do? And don't tell me "I wouldn't have bought it!" *hahah*
