green shoes!

 

I'm still here!  This week completely kicked my ass- I feel like I'm a day behind (or more) at all times.  Even my dressing has been pretty uninspired this week, which is usually unaffected by crazed levels of crippling stress!  Sometimes even motivated by it...

Gah.  But look at these lovely classic green Chie Mihara 'Absinthe' heels that came in the mail... I feel so much better now!!  Happy feet, indeed.

I'm somewhat of a compulsive modifier, so vintage dressing is good for that.  There's always something to fix!  This dress was quite big on top, and boxy, but I hand-washed it from the waist up in super hot water, thereby felting the fabric and shrinking it by a size.  I find this works pretty well!  I use it quite a bit on sweaters- you can always stretch and shape the material as it dries!

I'll announce the winner of the first ever damn green dress contest tomorrow!
