When I was in high school, I made this dress as a birthday gift for my mom. That would have been at least 13 years ago. Then a couple of years ago, she offered it back to me as a hand-me-down. I gladly accepted!Cardigan: H&M.
Earrings and Necklace: Body Central.
Broach: ?
Ring: Mandee.
Dress: made by me.
Slip (peeking out from under dress): thrifted.
Leggings: Max Rave.
Boots: Newport News.
cool dress!
ReplyDeleteThe dress is amazing, and those BOOTS? Meeeow!
ReplyDeleteI always love when you wear those boots. And that dress is impressive for a high school kid. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Penny!
ReplyDeleteSal- These are my superhero boots. :-)
WWWYG- Thanks! There is so much that I made for myself back that I wish I still had. None of it would fit me now, but they'd be fun life-relics to pull out of a box once in a while. At least my mom keeps everything I made for her!
Beautiful dress! I was way too impatient in all my teenage makings to end up with anything even remotely wearable. But what a lovely classic number you came up with!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice dress and full of feelings....
ReplyDeleteThose boots are sooooooooooooooo great!!!
Have a nice weekend, dear
xoxo
To Struggler: some day, I'm going to have to dig up photos of other things I made during my angsty teenage years. This will seem tame by comparison!
ReplyDeleteTo Seeker: Thanks! I could imagine you wearing these boots. :-)
Love this, Stephanie! Your boots are awesome. Cool that you can wear the dress you made your mom, too.
ReplyDeleteHi there. I'm fairly new to your blog but am so loving your outfits. This one is a fave - the dress is just fabulous! Is it a woven fabric or does it have a little bit of stretch? (I'm thinking of *attempting* to make one, one of these days). The fit is very flattering too.
ReplyDeleteare those boots available anywhere online :D:D:D:D?
ReplyDeleteoh,nevermind, I just found them :):)...another question though....do they fit true to size?
ReplyDeleteWelcome, Jenaveve. The fabric is a simple woven, with no stretch, really.
ReplyDeletePhantasnight - I'm impressed that you found the boots online. I would have figured they'd all be gone by now. I thought they fit pretty true to size.
