Bright Green

I wasn't able to wear this dress much over the summer because it was too long and heavy for the humid heat. It's back in circulation for the season now though! When I last showed you this dress in early June, I wore the matching belt that came with it. This time around, I used a scarf as a belt to spice things up a little.

Scarf as belt - Some mall stall

I've actually had this scarf for a while but couldn't for the life of me figure out what to wear it with. Finally I used it here because there is a tiny amount of green in the print and I figured that would work hah. You can sort of see on the edges, but the scarf is made with alternating panels of sheer and solid, which is pretty cool.

The next time I wear this, I'll probably be layering it with a cardigan. These photos were taken back at the end of September when the weather was still mild, but things are different now! Thankfully the length of this dress makes it great for cooler days.

I'm very glad it's Friday today. I'm going out dancing tonight with some friends which should be fun. And I want to try setting up a proper sewing area in my spare room so I can just wander in, sit down, and work. My main obstacle right now is the lack of desire to go through the whole set-up process with my sewing machine every, single, time. So once that's out of the way, all should be good.

I hope you all have a really fantastic weekend. Cheers!
