new and old

new HAIRCUT, that is! and old refers to this dress, because it is vintage!

i was nervous to get bangs but i love the way they turned out! after my last haircut, i was in tears, but after this one, i am so pleased and excited!

this dress has a great story behind it! i got it at the local thrift store on a day when all clothing was ONE DOLLAR!  the dress appears to have been handmade originally. it was a little too big, so i had to alter it a little, and it became a fun sewing project!

dress-vintage, altered by me :  flats-payless

i came across this picture on tumblr a while back, and realized that this dress has the exact same fabric! i was so excited, since it suggests that this dress is quite a bit older than i had thought! i really like the v-neck of this one too!

  1. Your hair looks amazing! When I first got bangs, I left in tears as well. I guess second time is the charm?

  4. Can I tell you something? My first thought when I saw these pictures was "YAAY! She has BOOBS!!". I love fashion blogs but it sucks looking at so many and all the girls are flat chested and rail thin, it's so wonderful to see an averaged sized girl in beautiful dresses!
