And they make me feel fabulous. As does this lovely dress; it’s so twirly. Yes, twirly. I just made that up.
90 percent of the stuff I’m wearing is at least 4 years old. I hadn’t worn this dress in probably 2 years, when I was rummaging through my closet looking for something to wear to church and suddenly this outfit just materialized in my mind. I love it when that happens, even if it is rare, because it’s so effortless.
I know that chunky belts are a big no no for petites, but I don’t really care. I love them paired with classic dress. If it makes my torso look super short, don’t tell me. I may cry. I changed this dress into a skirt by adding a blouse from the Loft and tucking it up into the fat belt. Voila! Same dress, way different look. And I love that the tuxedo neckline peeks out from the blouse. Even old dresses can get new life with a few updates.
See, twirly, twirly.
Ahhh, I love how you updated your dress! Twirly dresses/skirts make me happy, too. :D I actually didn’t know that big belts weren’t good for petite ladies (I’m 5′ so I’ll try to remember that tip… but I have a big belt that I love so I’m pretty sure I’m still going to wear it, lol). Nevertheless, your outfit looks really good. :)

Great job making the dress into something completely different! Looks like remixing has taught you well! =)

Green is a great color for you and breaking rules are okay especially when the outcome is BEAUTIFUL!! Lovely outfit!!
LOVE this dress! Twirly dresses are the best, even as adults :) And I think the chunky belt is perfect on you. Defines your waist.
I’d love for you to check out the giveaway I am hosting this week.
BEAUTIFUL dress! And I always wear chunky belts! I do a lot of petite no nos :P
What a genius remix! I really like this outfit. Don’t you love with outfits just come together so easily?

Super cute.The black sweater only the green dress with the green necklace looks so good :)
Rules schmules – that belt is A WINNER! I don’t think it gives you a short torso at all. It’s perfect with the silhouette of the dress. And I love all the green, dude. Perfection!
Very creative!…I’ll have to try this out myself! (I adore wide belts too…have to agree with Sara on this one ;)
i love the wide waist belt on you and i wear them all the time too even though i’m petite. and i really love all your green accessories to go with the dress.
cute and little
what a pretty dress!! i think your big belt looks fabulous. (and honestly, you never look all that short in any of you pictures!)

Very darling! You definitely know how to work that outfit!
Love that dress. I’m so sad that it is old though because I was ready to go straight to the site and order one for me! :)
I love the little sweater over the dress. I have this half sweater that I’ve had no clue how to wear yet, but I think I might try something similar to this! Thanks for the inspirations! You’re outfit is so cute!
