It was nearly perfect but it was missing a belt {this isn't just my opinion, it had loops for a belt, just no belt}.
In attempts to think outside the box {or belt loop}, I pulled out a fabric corsage I had made back in January and some brown grosgrain ribbon...
Not bad for a $5 dress and a homemade belt.
I hadn't really looked at this fabric corsage since I had made it back in January so it was like a renewed love affair was happening. Barry White music was playing in my head.
This poor forgotten about fabric corsage was now getting some some love.
I pinned it to an elastic headband and tested it out in my hair, thinking, why oh why had I forgotten about you, little fabric corsage?
This is where my love affair turned to an obsession.
I remembered a vintage handbag I bought from Goodwill for $2.99 back in April.
I loved the simplicity of this bag, including the label. What I didn't love, the scuff and the stain. I guess that's to be expected and maybe the reason it was donated {no belt = donate, scuff and stained = donate...both of which obviously equals, I must buy}.
So, I made myself another flower corsage and glued it over the marks.
Since my fabric corsage is on the verge of considering me a stalker, perhaps my handsome husband will romance me with a date night, where I can wear my no longer beltless dress or use my no longer stained vintage purse.
