Let's talk about this dress.

It's an H&M Snake Print Wrap Dress that I purchased for approximately $14.99 plus tax about two years ago. Click "More Werk" to see the original dress.

So, I sent it to the dress surgeon (read: tailor) to make a few adjustments. First, I had them take in the bottom so that it fit like a pencil skirt. I added shoulder pads and cinched the waste with the obi belt from ASOS.

And Voila! You have this remixed snake print dress.

I won't even address the fact that it is August 1st of 2014. Nope, I won't even mention it. Like, I won't even acknowledge the fact that time waits for no one. Time gives not one care about any of us. The more that I think about it, time is really kind of disrespectful and selfish. Because of that, we should be diligently trying to stay present and thankful for each moment. Most importantly, we should be relentless about living a life that will truly make us happy and getting there now!

Stepping down from my soapbox and on to the look...

This look is about comfort and prints. When it's 115 degrees Fahrenheit outside (yes, it gets that hot in Arizona), no one over here at The Werk! Place is trying to wear anything that doesn't breathe. I want freedom to move and pathways for air to circulate. That's exactly what this look provides. 

Easy, breezy, beautiful, Tunic Girl.

Subject: Studs + Sequins
_____________________________________________________________________________________

Who doesn't love a little sequin and stud thrown into the mix? I mean really. For a night out on the town with your main squeeze or with the girls, add a little sparkle to your life with a mix of studded sequin texture. This look has just the right mix where it's not an over powering gaudy mess but more of an army green and bronze sexy hot freshness.  For date night and a night out with the girls, sexy hot freshness always wins!
