Well, the other day I was inspired to change the way it looked, so here it is again in all its shortened glory.
These pictures were taken straight after I had altered it!
The theme for today is the old wedding adage - something, old/new/borrowed & blue. I've been thinking about weddings today as I saw several wedding parties in the city today, taking advantage of the gorgeous weather (one of them pulled up in the most amazing vintage black car).
Something old... This one is easy - the dress is vintage.
Something new, I'm wearing a pair of tights I bought the other day, that I purchased from Myer for $6 but really they were sort of free because I had a gift voucher to use.
Something borrowed, Nothing in the outfit is 'borrowed' per se, but the whole get-up is inspired by an outfit I saw in Gossip Girl, when Blair is wearing a short navy sailor dress with red tights. The DVD itself is borrowed from my sister (total froth but so worth watching for the incredible clothes!) so I guess you could say it's borrowed inspiration from a borrowed DVD!
Something blue. Again, easy. Both the dress and my shoes are blue.
The dress now has shortened sleeves and a shortened hem. I think it suits the sailor theme a bit better... If sailors wore cute mini dresses and bold colours, that is!
Dress: vintage, from NZ
Bag: vintage from Newport op shop
Tights: from Myer
Shoes: 1st pair - from a little shop that was closing down in Pt Fairy, a few years back. 2nd pair - ebay
Hat: Gift from my boyfriend
Headband: Diva

I'm a big fan of that dress!
I think i commented it last time?
But I will again because both ways are great.
I've teamed the red tights with navy before too and its a great look!!
I'm in love with navy but I find it hard to match colours with because it's not quite black.
Ah, I'll figure it out.
Have a lovely night :)

Sometimes just the smallest tweaks can make something perfect.
The red tights + dress is cute. I'm a big fan of the shorter dress! You look great in the photo as well, super smiley!

I love the dress shortened! It looks so mod and you look absolutely radiant in it :)
I like it. Its amazing how simple alterations can change something up so much isn't it?
In answer to your layout question. To get the wider layout I needed to choose a new template in the 'Pick new template' page of blogger. The template I use is called Minima Stretch.
Oh my gosh, I LOVE this!!! The dress was cute before but it is now officially beyond cute, nice job, and so perfect with the red tights!
LOVE it with the red tights and although it still looked amazing longer its very cute noe its a little shorter :)
Trish: I find navy goes with everything, but I may be biased because I love navy too :)
