Chaw'se

Some days, my job involves a lot of driving. I don’t mind because I love exploring. I’ve “bookmarked” a thrift store, cave, and historical site near Pine Grove to revisit with Beefy. These pictures were taken at the entrance to Grinding Rock State Park. We’ll be back!


Dress, Suzi Chin for Maggie Boutique. Scarf worn as a belt, TJ Maxx. Pumps, Prabal Gurung for Target. Sunglasses and earrings, Target. Bag, Go Jane. Bracelets, Tala’s Distant Treasures and Claire’s.


P.S. I had this dress tailored and love it even more! The tailor added darts to the back and took in the side seams of the bodice.


Now and then.

I was gonna say....the first time I saw this dress I didn't feel it was particularly flattering on you. I saw this today, and was suprised..., so pretty on you!Thats when I noticed your comment about tailoring. I live tailors!

I love the unique detail on the front of the dress. Well worth the cost of the tailoring. It looks fantastic on you.

Wow! Your tailor made an adorable dress perfect for you! The side seams definitely needed taken in. What exactly does "dart" in the back mean? You look great!

The darts in the back are simply seams that take in the extra fabric and create shape.

That is the coolest dress! I love that you had it tailored to get an even better fit.

I took it to Morrow's on Howe and Fair Oaks. Not cheap, but well done!

Tailoring can make a true difference - i've had pieces tailored and have ended up paying more for the tailoring than for the item- but it's well worth it.

I love this scarf as a belt. Another very cute outfit :)

My, you really look good and sophisticated in your outfit. The belt and shoes are likewise perfect with your dress. I really like women who dress perfectly for any occasion. It’s really ideal for women to dress up and present themselves in a professional and feminine manner. Stay in good shape and enjoy life!
