The Date Night Outfit

altered-outfit

I didn’t actually make it, just altered what I already had, but couldn’t wear.  The shirt is one I bought back in the summer and because I’m a little more well-endowed than it was intended for I put a different top section on it.  And the skirt is one I’ve had for years, but it has slits up both sides that go to the knees – I don’t wear hose (shocking) and was cold with it open, so I took a batman cape (the only thing in the house that was black that I could steal) and cut it into triangles and sewed them into the slits – that made the sides flare out a little when I walked.  My honey loved it, my kids approved, and I had a dress to wear.  So glad I have a sewing machine!

Oh, and dinner with all Matt’s co-workers went great too!

    Very cute. But my question is, why are there like 4 jars of pickles on the table behind you?

    Okay, I was just reading your latest post and this post was under the “you may also like” section, so I clicked on it and re-read it. Then I noticed the four jars of pickles on the table behind you in the pic and started to post a comment about why there are so many pickles. Then, I noticed I had already made that same comment a year and a half ago. I need to get out more.
