The Rain

Outfit:
 Forever 21 Lace Inset Floral Dress
Forever 21 Cloudy Hoop Earrings
DIY Lace dress-LKV
 Plomo Maria Cork Platform Wedge
Bracelet-Old, unknown


Hair:
Bantu knot-out pulled into a puff


Love how the lace dress creates a faux high/low hem
Isn't it great when you have a vision about an outfit and it comes together?! I purchased this lace dress from LKV after my Lent shopping restriction ended.  I saw it at the LKV trunk show here, but didn't want to get too excited about it for fear that it would be gone by the time I could shop again.  Luckily, it wasn't!  In it's original from this was a dress, but by removing a few stitches and cutting it open I transformed it into a duster.  I love the way it turns a simple sundress vintage. 

I couldn't help but chuckle at the thought of a lace duster/coat :).  Any of you know or remember the song The Rain by Oran "Juice" Jones?  I wanted to jammy flat blast both of you, but I didn't wanna mess up that $3700 lace coat, LOL.  Telling my age again!
