Sun Kissed

As promised, my outfit post for today. I wanted to show you guys a little project I did for a class in high school that has been my favorite spring/summer dress ever since I made it. It's my pride and joy (I love the reaction when I tell people I made this dress!) I'm sure it will be pushed to second when I'm done with the dress I'm currently making for my sewing class now. But still - I need you readers to see it!





Dress; made by me
Belt; Target
Flats; Urban Outfitters

    That dress is so stunning. The colors especially! I'm jealous of your flats, such a summery fun color.

    I know what you mean about the satisfaction of telling people you made something! I even get that when I tell people I thrifted something ha! But I love the dress, especially the fabric!
