what i wore > shower time

Last Saturday my dad's 3 sisters hosted a shower for me. I love my aunt's house and the tons of trees that surround it. I'll tell you more about the shower on Sunday Saturday, for now, this is what I wore.
hahaha, what an awkward face I have going on in that last photo!
head to toe:
dress - made my me! (more on that later too)
corsage - made by my cousin
belt - thrifted
socks - gift from mom
shoes - keds

I love the colours going on in this outfit. You can't see too well but I painted my nails minty to match the leaves on my dress, so fun! I think I want to make a few more versions of this dress, I am crazy about the shape.

  5. Yay for your shower!! And pretty!! I love the shape of your dress too, I have one like it that my friend made and I call it my 'Never Fail' dress, I wear it whenever I don't know what to wear! It's a really flattering shape, my one has a low scoop in the back which is cute too. You should def. make some more :)

  8. Showers are my favorite! My friends surprised me with a lingerie party and I had just gotten off work and was stripped down to my pants and undershirt when I showed up! XD I definitely would have planned better if I'd known, but that's the nature of surprise parties. I hope your shower was great!

    Love your outfit! Can't wait to hear about the dress. =)
