{dress: vintage; wedge heel: Pour La Victoire; necklaces: vintage/Granny's; clutch: Granny's; bracelets: David Yurman; watch: Michael Kors}

I was smitten with this dress from the moment I set eyes on it. The colors just popped and I loved the length and the cut. Plus I knew my Pour La Victoire wedge heels would look so fabulous with it! It was a tad too big for me, so I brought it to my alteration's girl, and voila! Now it fits me perfectly! Lately I've been really good about hanging on to thrift or vintage items that I love, but just don't fit me the way I'd like them to. For just a few extra bucks an alterations place can make a few adjustments that are so worth the few days of waiting time. Some items are just too good to pass up, so why let a few inches of fabric get in your way? I recently stumbled upon a fabulous Nanette Lepore strapless dress with the most amazing print. It was way to big for me, so instead of leaving it on the rack I bought it for only $6 and took it to my alterations shop... I ended up spending only $20 or so to get it altered... now it fits me like a glove! Nanette Lepore dresses run in the hundreds, so for under $50 I had myself a chic designer dress! Can't beat it! Now if only I could teach myself how to use a sewing machine I'd be golden. :)
