Bye bye beach dress !

A long time ago, when I was weak and foolish, I bought this dress thinking : nice to go to the beach to throw quickly over a bathing suit.....Well not so nice in reality so ritual SACRIFICE !!!


Look at the bottom of the dress, was I drunk when I bought this ?



a few scissors' attacks after and a lot of sewing done and : ready to head to the beach !


The back (that was the front in another life) and me looking outside mysteriously ....It's not a crappy lighting , it all about "atmosphere"



I wear it today with a navy blazer and a big necklace.

What do you think ?

  2. That is such a cool idea! I wish I was that creative. I just look at something on the rack and go "uhh, no, can't wear it" lol.

  3. I like it Caro, especially in combo with the hat. Add some sunglasses and you're ready to hit the waves!

  5. Oh I love stripes - so sailor-ish inspired :) I would wear it to the beach! Just like Kristie said, I would pair it with that straw hat you have and huge sunglasses with flip flops.
