Just Add Lace

Sometimes I (and I know other people have the same issue) will find an amazing dress that is just slightly too short. Have no fear! There are ways to fix this! The dress I have pictured was one that I had this problem with and the solution was fairly simple. Since there was already lace on the dress, I just added more lace to the bottom hem. I doubled up the lace on the end to make it more of an actual layer. Now it reaches my knees and is long enough when I sit down!

The sun was in my face. Thus the odd expression.

 

 



Here is a closer view of the hem of the dress.



 

Dress: Target (the lace on the end was from JoAnn's)

Sweater: H&M (seriously, invest in a tan sweater. It works with everything)

Shoes: Payless

Necklace: my mom's (from a thrift store) (I wanted to wear a pearl necklace but it didn't quite work so this one was a nice alternative with a similar affect)

Ring: Swap meet

 

I LOVE roses and the red was a nice accent to the outfit. I had actually been looking specifically for a ring with a red rose for a little while and was excited to find this.
