DIY: fishtail dress

Hello stranger!

I haven't blogged in two weeks!

That's because I just got back from the most relaxing two weeks I've had this year. Much needed vacation time. I will update with photos later but right now I'm trying to get into a "back-to-work-on-Monday" mindset, although it's really not working. I went to Singapore this past week, and I did pack that DIY fishtail dress I altered recently. It was the perfect outfit to prance around shamelessly in. 


I know some of you requested pictures of the final product so I scoured my vacation photos for some pics of the dress. Uploading these photos also brings me to this depressing moment where I mourn the end of my vacation time. haha. =(

... don't know what my face is doing here but it's a good picture of the cutting of the dress.
...this awkward-wistful-staring into space-gaze is what happens when I don't know that my picture is being taken. photo creeper!!!
...the best part of the whole vacation was being reunited with the fiance, Mr. Potatohead... at least for a short while. (3 months til THE PERMANENT REUNION!!!). Man... I commend anyone who has been in a long-distance relationship, because it's tough knowing such a big part of your life is 10,512 miles away!

DIY: lace blouse + fishtail dress

I recently posted about 10 ways on how to style a plain blouse with black lace here. Well, in the end, I ended up deciding on going with option #11, which is slightly different. I cut off the middle flap of the blouse so that the black buttons that were underneath could be visible. Then I sewed the two lines of lace down either side of the buttons. I think this shirt would go best tucked into a pair of high waisted shorts which is probably what I'll be wearing in SUNNY SINGAPORE next week (CAN'T WAIT!!!)...


Afterwards, I searched online to see if there were similar styles, and I found these... complete with severed heads, how lovely.


So anyway, since I'm going on vacation this coming week, I'll probably be on a blog hiatus for a bit. But I'll take pictures and fill you all in on the adventures later. For now, here's another quick DIY idea: it's a dress that I revamped today (from a straight-edged skirt into an assymetrical fish-tail skirt) that I'll also be bringing with me on holiday. I intend to frolic and prance in this on the beach in... FOUR DAYS!!! (Can you tell I'm excited?!?!) haha...
