Jacket, Forever 21. Dress, vintage, thrifted, shortened, and BEDAZZLED. Tights, Hue. Shoes, Delicious. Bangles, Girl Props. Clutch, Apt 9. Coat (pictured below), Bebe.
I apologize for the blurriness of the photos. We were losing the light, it was starting to rain, the wind was gusting, and I was navigating rubble in four-inch heels. These photos were taken in Eden Park, on, what I affectionately call, the Road to Nowhere:
This dress was horribly dowdy in its original state.
I could tell, though, after adding a belt and pinning up the length, that it had potential.
Thrifted (or swapped) clothing is my favorite for experimentation – shortening, dyeing, and, now, bedazzling. Later this month, I’ll show you a pair of thrifted capris turned shorts and bedazzled with cone studs. Nothing is safe from the Bedazzler! I’m eyeing more studs (and a size 60 plunger for 1/2 inch studs) on Kit Kraft right now.

If there's anyone who I feel should own a Bedazzler it's you - I know you will Bedazzle responsibly.
The background for these pictures is awesome.
Good to know ... I've got a bag of studs languishing unused because I can't for the life of me figure out how to apply them without breaking my fingers.
And DAMN, what a difference on that dress. The alterations are amazing!
fabulous color scheme in this outfit! certainly takes any dreariness out of a gusty, drizzly day!
great job altering the dress! i have a similar problem with a thrifted dress but minimal skill in correcting it. i need to call mom, methinks.
Heeheehee- I used to own a beddazler when I was little.
I think like anything else, it's all in how you use it! Big improvement on the dress- it suits you very well now!
I laughed out loud at "BEDAZZLED" - it's so...snazzy!
Love what you've done with the dress, great backdrop for your photos, and awesome colours!
Oh I love the red, yellow, and black together! It looks so fun and chic!
This is a phenomenal outfit--everything from the color combination to the style combination to of course...the bedazzled star. I love it. I may try to do my own version of this...you continue to rock the fashion world!
I love!! I may need a bedazzler, I love the studding detail!
I've been wanting a bedazzler for a while, but I'm not totally convinced in my ability to make things look as chic!
I need to go to the thrift store with you! I never would have seen the potential in that dress! And the bedazzling's cute. I continue to be inspired...
ha! I added little studs to a purse last night and just posted it up on my page. I don't have the bedazzler - I have a gemagic and it totally feels like a cheap piece of plastic, but it gets the studs into fabric.
Too fun!
Wow! The dress looks totally different, and totally amazing. Well done you. ;)
The dress looks amazing post alterations. You look great!I have an outfit with similar colors planned for thurs.
You definitely have an eye for fashion because I wouldn't have given that original dress the time of day! Awesome job!! The bedazzling gives it a cute touch! As previous posters said, I cringed at the word "bedazzled" but in the right hands, its awesome!!
I've never had a Bedazzler. If I had one, I'd be bedazzling everything in sight. Perhaps best I don't own one, then.
I love the bedazzled star.
love the yellow and red and i, for one, don't think bedazzling is passe. it's awesome.
ooohhh.... you are so inspiring! I love the bedazzling and the tights and toes!!!
You did a great job with that dress!!!
This is one of my favorite "photo collections" of you :) just a beautiful look.
Oh, gosh! Just when I thought I had given up my desire for a Bedazzler, you go and ignite it again! Lovely job!
You are my hero. Seriously.
Hope you don't mind, but I borrowed the star pattern for a pair of shoes. They turned a super boring pair of shoes into something much more interesting!
Thanks for the idea! I'm referencing you today when I post them.
