This is what I rocked to church today...hence my Christ Chic look:) Remember this dress from the thrift challenge with Juanette from Fashionnette-Work? You know where we thrift for each other every month. Well, the dress was too big so I had it altered...but there's a problem...I didn't listen to the professionals!
(Jessica Simpson Heels)
I took the dress in to alter the bottom part into a "pencil" fit..because everything looks better if it's a pencil fit, right? Well, I had her fit the skirt tight around the kness and she kept saying "no, no, no...too tight."
I blew her off and insisted that I knew what I was talking about.
Well she was right! It was soooo tight around the knees that I almost needed assistance getting in the car and going up stairs! Ridiculous! You would think that would be enough to not wear it again...negative. If Victoria Beckham can suffer for fashion, SO SHALL I!
The legend is I've been this way since birth. The story goes that at 3 yrs old, I was told that the stove was hot but I refused to believe it until I kissed the stove...KISSED THE STOVE PEOPLE!! They never had that problem out of me again...
...P.S....remember what happened the last time I didn't listen to the alterations lady...click here

This made me think about Cameron Diaz's dress she wore to the wedding in "Sweetest Thing" . LOL!
I love this print. The outfit screams Sunday Brunch
You kissed a stove?
I am very worried about you.
You sure do rock that outfit though. Wowza : )
This dress is so fly!! I love it!
shorten it above to too-tight part and keep on wearing. Great dress!
Glad to know you learned to stop kissing the stove!
Glad you kissed the stove....I still got zebra butt from getting to close to the heater after a bath when I was 5 years old....I'm scarred for life literally.
I love the dress. You and Juanette are working the drawers off your thrifted items. Wish I had a thrifting buddy.
I'm doing a clutch giveaway from Nikki Brown Bags.

I am cracking up at Kissed the STOVE!!!! hilarious.
But as uncomfortable as you may have been, I love the loook.... soooo, this makes me wonder, are all women who have skirts like that unable to walk????
