Sometimes Life Takes You by the Hand

Top by me, Juicy Couture cardigan, Paige jeans, Report sandals, vintage pearls

Ugh, again It has been a week since I've last posted, and again I apologize. But look what I've done while I've been busy! A brand new top (strapless, corseted, and two tiers) that fiveloaves twofish may be turning in to a party dress for next year! Be excited.

Plus, I got my prom dress (Eeee!!!!!!!!!) It's a perfect mint-condition 50s prom dress and I'm so excited to wear it. I have to take it in a bit but it is seriously the most beautiful dress I've ever seen. And of course from a design perspective it is amazing to see how much work goes in to a big poof of a dress like mine. They just don't make them like they used to, huh? Here are some pictures of my dress, but you'll have to wait until prom night to see it on:

Isn't it just the most beautiful thing you've ever seen? I don't think I'd be much more excited if I had a Rodarte dress or something. This is my dream dress and I LOVE it!

And because it's vintage, I know no one else will have it! Because no one wants to show up in the same outfit as someone else. That's always awkward.

Dress by me! Anthropologie sweater; Coach sandals; vintage bracelet and necklace

Song of the Day!

I got my green for St. Patrick's Day! Someone told my my dress looked like a Lily Pulitzer dress and I guess that's a pretty good compliment. This is definitely one of my favorite dresses I've made in terms of construction. Also, in French (for some strange, obscure reason which has not yet been explained to me) I was voted as the girl with the most Rapunzel-like hair. I guess that's an accomplishment.

I see a mansard roof through the trees

Dress by me! Steve Madden boots

I've been waiting for a sunny day to debut this new dress and today was that day! Oh, I love those odd days in March and April when it truly feels like summer...if only I wasn't stuck studying for AP tests and SATs(!!!) Anyways, introducing the Hawaiian Watercolor Shift Dress! As I told my friend, it's kind of like a mullet, because it's a shift in the front and fitted in the back!

I'm so bummed that fashion month is over. But I'll be posting a lot about the trends I noticed, my favorite collections, and definitely more outfits!

P.S. I've recently joined Weardrobe so check it out!
