Sparkle Mini-Dress

I went to the thrift store again this past weekend because I’m addicted now apparently (I need to get the patch probably) and bought this lovely … (maybe top of a 2 part) 80s dress thingy. So many beads. I thought, “Wow, I could totally rock this as a mini-dress!” Too bad I got home and realized my torso is longer than I thought it was. Oh well. Still trying.

I cut out the shoulder pads and cut off the sleeves. Then I took the sides of the dress in a few inches so it would be a tiny bit more fitted. The sleeves were hemmed exactly where I cut them so it would fall a little farther off my shoulders than a regular tank top would. Then I forgot to document these steps in a pictorial so I’ll give you a close up of some beading.

Yeah! It’s obscenely short so I’m wearing it with leggings as pants.

And here I am, bringing sexyback. I wonder how many times that joke has been used to describe a showy back. Probably enough that would make this joke non-creative.

And here I am modeling the dress with a blazer! Maybe I can wear it for New Year’s Eve. And if there were any doubt in your mind that I hadn’t watched the video from The Ring, check out my face in this picture.

    

In other news, I just painted my nails with glitter and it looks like Edward Cullen threw up on my hands.
