ruffles: party of two

 If I have learned anything from starting this blog, it is the fact that the clothes you own can be temporarily altered, or manipulated, so you get the most out of one single item of clothing.  Meaning:  You can make a dress a skirt, by folding it down or wearing a shirt and belt over it.  You can wear a skirt as a shirt, and no one would know the difference. And if they do- so what? 

You're smarter than them.

Hi, my name is Bekah and I am wearing two dresses.  And I feel like a genius. 

I am wearing a summery dress with ruffles (I repeat, RUFFLES) under a more bland (plain by itself) black dress.  And voila, I have a NEW dress.

Maybe, it was my tutu phase as a young, toddler ballerina, but I love everything about ruffly or tulle skirts.  I was horrible at dancing, but I was just in it for the sequins.

And I may or may not have broken in to song while twirling...

 (I feel pretty, oh so prettyyyy...)

So for all of my fashionistas out there, do not be afraid to layer, tuck, belt, pull up, lower, manipulate your beloved clothing items to make them pull double duty for you.  No, I didn't invent wearing two dresses at once, but I'm pretty sure I'd wear ruffles under everything if given the chance.
Special shout out to my fellow FBFFers who nominated me for two different awards yesterday,  The Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Rebekah N Bryan + Life and It's Other Drugs.
