Sundress Blues

Have you ever been so excited to finally get something you ordered online just to be totally disappointed when you tryย it on? That’s what happened to me with this dress. I love the color and thought it would be such a perfect spring and summer sundress. But the way it fits in the chest area is just not cute.
I was so sad and about to give up when I saw this scarf out of the corner of my eye. It covers the ill-fitting top of the dress while still showing the parts I like. Plus it covers my stomach and that’s always a win when I’m wearing something so fitted. I think next time I’ll addย a sweater on top of the dress instead of a scarf.
I added my light colored sunglasses and threw my hair up in a ponytail for a day of grocery shopping and errands. I wore some goldย flat sandals, but none of those photos looked good so…

I feel like all this look needs is an ice cream cone or something. I could totally go for that right about now!

Ugh I know, it’s so disappointing. Shopping online is always a gamble, though!

A scarf is always a great idea from distracting from any ill fitting areas! How disappointing the dress wasn’t quite cut right. It still looks beautiful on you though – you honestly can’t tell! Such a pretty colour too. xxx

I was so happy the scarf worked out! That shade of blue is too pretty to pass up!

The color of that dress is stunning. I hate when you are so excited for something just to be let down. From my side though, the dress looks gorgeous on you ๐

Yeah it was definitely a let down at first! I’m glad I could find a way to make it work ๐

Me too!! If not for that beautiful color, I probably would have just returned the dress!

I love that pretty shade of light blue and the sunglasses!
April 30, 2015 @ 5:40 pm
I’m loving the color too! I haven’t seen many pieces in that shade so I knew I couldn’t pass this up!

the colors looks really nice on you

Thank you!

If the clothes are broken but still good for use, I’d give it to charity. If I love some broken piece so much, I’d bring it to a local clothes fixer.

Hmm, I’m not sure if we have clothes fixers here. Great idea though! Thanks for the tip.

I love the sunnies! And I am TOTALLY guilty of using a scarf or a cardi to cover up fashion icks when things just don’t go to plan. (Also have to love fashion tape and changing up your bra!)

Using a scarf is such a quick and easy fix! I’m sure this little trick will come in handy in the future ๐ and OMG, fashion tape is a lifesaver!!

it does look very cute and with the scarf you cant even tell.
