Fairly proud of myself for my latest “recycling/upcycling” project: dyeing my old wedding dress lavender to serve as my mother-of-the-groom regalia. I think it turned out nicely - a $4 bottle of RIT dye & a half-day investment of time & effort - now all I’m waiting for are my demi-boots (let’s pray they’re comfortable, or at least tolerable for a few hours!) & then I’ll need some new shapewear (in skimming Amazon reviews, it’s amazing how the same product can have 1-star as well as 5-star reviews - I guess I will just have to reluctantly go to the department store) I saved a significant amount of money, not having to buy a new dress so it isn’t as if I was shopping for cheap East Asian products; I was looking at familiar name brands like Maidenform!?!
The last things I worry about will be my makeup (I wear makeup so seldom; I guess I will invest in a new bottle or jar of foundation!) & what to do about my shaggy mop of hair… I have tried to grow it out a bit but it’s not looking promising. Those calendar pages continue to flutter down like the fallen leaves 😳
That did turn out nicely! Cute boots, too. Shopping online for slimwear can be hit and miss. I have learned this over time, and fortunately some of the hits have been durable. Good luck on your shopping trip!
ReplyDeleteI kinda wish it was the brighter purple! Your shape looks pretty good in it now, but I get the idea of the shapewear. Butttttt, I tried wearing one and felt like I'd been wrapped by a boa, not the feathery kind. Cool boots!
