WHAT I WORE:
Sometimes, there is no need for new clothing. In this case, I purchased a new dress and it was promptly ruined by bad tailoring (when the dress is so tight that you cannot sit in it, you cannot wear it - so some really thin teen contestant will hopefully buy my $700 dress off of pageant resale for about $150; I am so disgusted with my local seamstress.......). So, about three days before I left for the pageant, I went to my closet and decided the best thing to do was to repeat what already worked for me.
I am wearing a Dorothy Perkins dress with LK Bennett heels and black earrings from Cache that are at least a decade old.
As much as I love new clothing, I have learned from doing these What I Wore posts that there is truly no reason to be buying more clothes when you have great items already available in your closet. Wish I would have come to this realization before spending $700 on a single dress that was ruined......
LINK UPS:
Sorry for your $700 dress that didn't really work out but I agree that it's best to reuse what we have in the closet... Although there are times that a new special dress is just needed.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on this experience! Must be awesome! :)
