The bad news is that my dress is too small:
The good news is that I layered the too small dress over one that fits me so as not to look like a leopard-spotted-sausage (because no one wants to see that). I love this leopard dress – it’s vintage, it’s silk and it has pockets (pockets!), but it doesn’t fit. Specifically, my thighs fight it like it’s an invading army and my chest appears to be determined to say a very personal ‘hello’ to anyone and everyone. I was going to get rid of the dress but then I had the idea to try it layered over another dress; and I think it worked.
The bottom layer is a simple black tank dress (thrifted) and the top layer is the silk leopard dress (thrifted) which I buttoned at the waist (the one place it fits) and belted with my owl belt (Ross). I added some wedges (G by Guess via Piperlime) and a bangle and called it a day.
Would you all like another piece of possibly dubious advice? Of course you would. Before getting rid of something, try repurposing it first. While it’s doubtful that I’ll ever fit into the leopard dress on its own again, by layering it over other pieces, I can continue to get some use out of it.
Happy Thursday, Everyone!
