Anthro's Scarf Scene Dress by Leifsdottir! My favorite detail is the Romantic Slip under the Silk Shell. Wish you could see it.

#1 The dress has an elastic waistband that requires a Belt. I didn't know how to belt over anything until last Summer. Especially a dress. Does that sound weird? I now have the perfect belt. Anthro's Sliver Belt in Green.
Oh, and thanks to many of you for all those great belted outfits, I now have lessons...under my belt, so to speak.

| the Cowl style neckline does Busty me no favors. Those folds of fabric had to go away. |
#2 I wasn't impressed by the sagging cowl on this dress. The folds of silk dipped too low and didn't sit nicely. I restructured the loose neckline by pulling up the excess fabric in front, creating a pleat at each corner, and after some careful folding, I whip stitched the extra fabric behind the straps. This created a modest, flattering, squared off neckline. I probably would not have done this if I hadn't scored this dress on Pop Back at 2nd cut.
I could tell that the dress had been a return that had been worn more than once.

But a Cardi is a must for the office. I tried different colors and styles. None did the dress favors. Until this Morning. I tried my Ruffled Celosio. I honestly thought no way, too much Coral. I was pleasantly surprised at the outcome. I balanced the Coral with the Green Belt and Wedges. For the first time in two years I am happy with this outfit. And I have Jamie of Thrifty Threads to thank. She inspired with her outfit HERE. |

I am hopping on a bus to have breakfast in the middle of California's Largest Oil and Gas Field. We are celebrating the 100th Birthday of the discovery well. This field has the honors of a rich history. Red Adare put out oil well fires here. John Wayne stared in that movie. The US Navy owned this field until we took over in 1998. No PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) required today! Happy Thursday!
