Ice Cream Dress


I can't believe it, but Spring is already here in Southern California and has been for several weeks!  The beautiful tree pictures above is in my front yard and I get to enjoy it every time I enter or leave the front door.
 
After being under the weather for the past two weeks I am ready to get out and enjoy the sunshine!  If you haven't had the flu yet this season -avoid anyone who has it like you would the plague! 
 

Do you remember me posting about the Ice cream cone dress?  I actually finished this many months back, but I chose such a plain pattern that when I got it put together I didn't think it was a chic as the original inspiration.  I pretty much was going to avoid posting about it again altogether and really hadn't worn it much either, but it was also cold outside. I needed something quick to pull on the other day to run out and get dog food and run a few other errands.  Wouldn't you know, in the short amount of time I was out I received many compliments!  After that I figured I could be brave and post it on the blog.  Sadly, I really don't have the proper accessories for this outfit to stand out.  I think I would like to purchase this belt from Modcloth in the next few weeks to wear with this dress over the summer.  What do you think?
 

Speaking of both Ice cream dresses and Modcloth, are any of you following the Carrie Diaries on the CW?  Carrie was wearing this Modcloth dress which has ice cream and other yummies on a current episode and looked amazing.

    1. She does! I guess they can't have a Carrie Bradshaw without an amazing closet!

  3. You know I love it. :) That happens to me too. I'll throw something on that I don't think is especially great and people will love it while the stuff I like barely gets a look. haha

    1. That is pretty much me... with the ladies at work especially, they all know I sew and often comment on what I am wearing. I'll be all proud walking into the office thinking they are going to be amazed, and that will be the day that no one says anything! hahah But I wear something I am nervous they are going to think looks homemade and they go crazy over it!
