Making It Mine

I would love to have an entire wardrobe purchased from Anthropologie.
But my pocket book, and my Farmboy, both say that isn't as realistic as I would like it to be.


So I will enjoy the choice pieces I do own and make do elsewhere.

Around the beginning of Summer, I found this little wrap dress while browsing through Target.



Not only is it cute and comfortable, but it looks great with both my boots or my flip flops. I have several cardigans that work well with it too.

However, I felt it needed a little something.


A few doilies and buttons later, and I have a dress that is all mine.

That is such a cute dress Alisa and your addition made it even cuter! It's the kind of dress that when I am done with it I would cut it up for the fabric!
