This week I thought it would be fun to take something that’s been in my closet for a while and try and mix it with some accessories to spice it up and in a sense repurpose it. When I bought this dress I thought it would be super comfy to wear around the house or to the pool when I was pregnant.
Let me clarify: this is NOT a maternity dress, but it was super comfy to wear when I was pregnant so I did. hehe. I still love this dress but wanted to find a way to add to it, or dress it up a little. It’s amazing what a high waisted wide belt, some earrings and wedges can do to bring to life a plain black cotton dress.
Plus, my hubby said I looked “hot”…… BONUS!

As I was taking pictures, my little one, who is not so little and will be starting her first year of preschool in just 22 days, wanted her picture taken as well. Since we just went and had her hair cut she wanted to throw some sass around too!

That is very cute, I really like the belt. Although I have to say I think you are being over shadowed by the second model in that post 🙂
