Blindingly blooming bright

 I purchased this dress from Etsy for $15 on June 5th. I loved the brightness and pattern. Once it arrived I tried it on and (Eeeep it was a little tight in the chest area.) I SWEAR I measured properly!!! I have NO CLUE why it was too tight. But now 2 months later and after a few shed pounds. I was able to finally wear my Etsy purchase.
 The Mr. is afraid of Bee's and apparently he saw a bee flying around these flowers where I wanted to take a pic. He said "I hope the bee doesn't sting you." I made this face, making fun of him. saying "AHHHH I got stung."

 These pics are taken at a park near my house. This area of the park is called butterfly garden because they fill it with all sorts of flowers. (What you like my white tights??) Those aren't tights... those are my legs!!! *LOL* I swear my legs are Spf 50 naturally.

Now I haven't spent ANY time tanning this summer. We have had alot of sun ... but laying outside in the dry heat doesn't tickle my fancy. I am usually in the pool splashing around trying to cool off.

Ooh I want to learn yours and Sarah's fairy magic with photoshop!

I don't know about what Sarah uses but I just use PicMonkey most of the time for my photo editing.
Which can be found here!

Happy Friday!! I hope you all have a fabulous weekend. I am hoping I have better luck with garage saling tomorrow than I have had the past couple Saturdays.

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*
