I'm on a roll

lo siento for the camera photo. I was being lazy. 

Today I turned that hawaiian-ish dress into a hawaiian-ish skirt. I got the dress at goodwill the other day for a hawaiian themed work party Dan has on Saturday. I was just planning on belting it, adding a sweater, and calling it good. But then, Dan didn't really like it. And, even with the belt, I still felt kinda frumpy. So, feeling very confident in my elastic abilities, I decided to turn it into a skirt. I was slightly nervous right before I cut into the dress but then I remembered I spent $4 on the thing and then snip snip snip. And voila, new skirt. Much better, right? Yeah, I think so too.

    Dress --> Skirt FTW! (You're very talented, and I think we should all try to be a little more like you.)
