Went to the beach last night for dinner and the sunset. Took the fisheye, since I haven't used it in a while.
Wore a strapless dress that I've had for three years, and hadn't really ever worn.
It is really quite long, but I sewed an elastic into the hemline and gathered it to create a short bubble hem.

That bubble dress is just lovely - you've got such a talent for seamstress-ing (something tells me that is SO not a word haha, but you get what I mean)!
ReplyDeleteYou and your sister are both blessed with such beautiful hair, you lucky ducks.
Gorgeous pics.

clothed much, a modest fashion blog
Wow, wow & wow. Love the photos, both of your outfits - and the outfit you styled for your sis is soooo cute!
ReplyDeleteThis time of the year is always sad in a way -
It's funny the changing of the seasons from winter to spring - and spring to summer - is always so positive but summer to fall and fall to winter can be so negative.
Maybe that's just my New England mindset.
Muy bonita! You look so pretty in that baby blue and yellow outfit, I totally love the colors together!
ReplyDeleteLove it all! Your sister is so cute! And great job with the outfit. Don't know if I love the scarf tucked into the belt. And I love the alteration you made with the dress. Now I need to learn to do that
ReplyDeleteomg! gorgeous photos! and here in hongkong we can't wait for autumn to arrive :D too hot and humid!
ReplyDeleteYour fisheye photos are amazing. And I love what you did with that dress! Brilliant. Your sister's back-to-school outfit is so adorable, loving the bag. :) Oh, and the colors in your last outfit make me so happy. Pretty, pretty!

I love the outfit you created for your sister!
ReplyDeleteThe bubble hem you made for your dress is awesome too! You're great at all that. You should post some how to's sometime in your blog. :)
i love all three outfits! and you styled your sister so well - perfect back to school look :)
ReplyDeletehttp://dressedupallligators.blogspot.com/
some of your prettiest pictures!!! what a cute sister, too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great set of pictures.
ReplyDeleteYou did a fantastic job with that dress and the bubble hem.
When I saw your sister's first day of school picture it got me thinking whatever it was I wore when I was in school. I have to say that it is probably so much harder now and probably so much more pressure than before on what it is you wear.
She looks really cute and its funny how she is wearing your stuff ..
Great styling on your sister!
ReplyDeletelove that shirt!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love how your bubble-hemmed that dress. It looks fab! And so does the outfit you styled for your sister. That had to have made for one great first impression!
ReplyDeleteYour Sister looks very cute, she's lucky having a great stylist as a Sister.
ReplyDeleteYour sister looks really cute, I wish I had style like that when I was in high school or just not a dress code... I love the blue and yellow of your outfit, that combo is one of my all time favs :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo's you look amazing in all of them!!
