The Peanut Butter Bunch

The Peanut Butter Bunch

A couple of things needed to happen for me to want to wear the dress.

Remember–it doesn’t matter how great the deal, the fit, OR the dress if I’m not going to wear it.

I needed some sleeves and some length.

And some accessories.

Without spending a penny more.

  The dress was under $20.

BoOm.

Here’s a little bit of what goes on as I’m trying to figure out if I’m going to keep the dress.

[This all happened within two days of the purchase so I could return it if wasn’t going to work out.

Slap on some sleeves–in the form of a cardi.   Can you guess which one I chose?  Yeh-yeh.

Two of them are adorable–but don’t flatter my shape in this dress.

It’s a full skirt with a fitted bodice–which is part of my own personal ‘camouflage’–hah.

That kind of dress can make hips look a little wider and the waist look a little smaller.

Bring it.

So I don’t want to hide the top of the full skirt.

At all.

So now can you guess which one I chose?

The top one.

As far as length–I used the same black slip that I modified before which extended the dress–and ‘camouflaged’ me into someone that looks taller than I actually am.

Which brings me to belts.

I needed one.

And I happen to have a few that I’ve collected.

One of them hit me at the just right spot on my torso to add a little bit of a breakfast muffin.

Seeing that I would want to wear it through lunch–no thanks.

Ever.

No thanks to breakfast muffins around the middle.

I wouldn’t wear a belt if muffin-dom were the only option.

The ribbon belt was too hangy-drapey for a fitted skirt.

[I could have wrapped it around twice, but I knew I had another option.]

One was just too wide.

Okay–and it gave me a bit of a breakfast muffin, too.

Which left me with the lower left hand corner belt.
