35 in 31 Challenge: Day 1-3

Day 1: Project 1

The Floral Romper

I actually bought this as a really long matronly dress from Goodwill YEARS ago, because the fabric matched these shoes almost perfectly. At first I figured I'd make it into a different type of dress, but once I got started I knew it'd have to be a romper. I actually started this project about a year or two ago and had done a little bit of it here and there, but I knew it was time I finally finished it and let it become an important staple in my summer wardrobe.
See?? Practically identical...

 Day 2: Project 2

The Wonky-Sleeved Violet Blouse 

This is most likely the least interesting project on the list. I thought I finished this months ago but the sleeves were still all crazy weird and I had to do a little altering for them to fit right. I can't wait to wear this in the winter (the fabric is SO warm) with maybe a black high-waisted circle skirt and tights. Plus I love the color!

Day 3: Project 3

The Wonky Padding-Pink Lace Dress

Ok so this one isn't that exciting either. Haha. I got this from a cousin's yard sale for an 80's dance in high school. (I was full on Pat Benatar, and probably the only one who dressed up for that dumb dance haha) Anyway! After I washed it the light padding in the top got all crazy scrunched and basically it looked like I was smuggling hamsters in my dress. So I figured I'd finally take the top apart and sew the padding in correctly. (I would have just left it out altogether, I'm not a huge fan of padding in dress tops, but the dress wouldn't stay up otherwise haha)

Today is Day 4 so I am off to figure out which projects are next! Hope you're all having lovely weekends!
