I found this printed piece at the thrift store and it was originally a dress. The fabric is so floaty and soft though that I thought it might whip up and show my undies without my consent in the windy spring we are having so I sewed a tiny one inch section at the hem between the legs to make it a romper! I love it like this! The top is so slouchy and with the pockets it will surely be a serious staple for me. Regarding this turban, I guess everyone has tutorials now on how to do this, but I actually was shown in real life by Gabbi who arrived at my house a few Fridays ago wearing one as the perfect little topper to an already
perfect outfit.
Gabbi, in case you were wondering, is actually my new etsy apprentice / amazingly smart, intuitive and beautiful friend and will be helping me list and sell stuff next week / month. She has an amazing eye for vintage as well and has a
new blog so go check her out and say hi if you want! You will not be disappointed! She is a real sweetie!
Everything thrifted except for the shoes which are Lucky Brand and the ring, a gift from a dear friend.

That looks like a tunic that was at F21 last year. I love the print and especially love the fact that you turned it into a romper.
It looks fabulous with that belt and turban.
I looove that you turned the dress into a romper! Such a nice pattern for spring. I'm tempted to try a turban style.. but with my luck, I'd play with it mid-day and mess it all up:)

That's so crazy, I have that dress! I haven't had the unfortunate knicker flashing situation happen yet but if I do I know I can always make it a romper :)
excellent pattern play. I'm glad you're mobilizing your helper!
You make it sound like showing a little undie is a bad thing. I mean, as long as it's consensual, it's okay right? :) I am in love with this romper - I can't believe you just whipped it up! Beautiful and talented? There's nothing you can't do!

Oh, Christina, I have the same ring! I've received many compliments on it, but it was not a gift. :)
I'm not sure what it is about your outfit I like best, but your shoes and tan are up there in the top spots :)
Beautiful romper! These pics are lovely!

I love the idea of turning a dress into a romper! I'm so glad I came across your blog, it's full of inspiration. I'd love to know how you tied your turban.
I'm so impressed that you turned a floaty dress into this perfect little romper. I love the print and it fits you like a dream. And the turban- I could never look so chic, regardless of the tutorial. :)
