Finally posting all the gorgeous photographs of this stunning green & blue floral print jacquard mini dress with funky asymmetrical shoulder detailing, ruched waist & fluted mini length that I picked up from the delightful Oh Jo Jo Boutique at the "top of town" in Ipswich. What you might not know is that this dress was originally one-shouldered & although I sometimes like to wear strapless bras & show a little more skin, it makes most sense for me - personally - to add an extra strap to make my dresses more "user friendly," therefore meaning that I'll reach for them in my wardrobe more often. Luckily for me, the tie at the shoulder had miles of extra material that my seamstress was able to use to fashion another strap without sacrificing the fun & flirty vibe of the frock. Basically, I'm bringing this to your attention to say that it's okay if you purchase an item that you fall in love with & tweak it to make it ideal for you alone; that's the beauty of fashion. Tweaks made, I styled it up for a day in my beloved River City by adding a pair of blue leather stiletto-heeled mules from Alfie & Evie & a matching blue vinyl crossbody bag from Vera May - both found at the wonderful Obsession Shoes - & added a plethora of gold & silver sparkly, beaded Indian bangles that a dear friend brought back from an overseas trip years ago for that finishing touch of daytime sparkle.
