This dress is a result of OCD.

Hello there!  
This dress I am wearing right here I bought at a local thrift store. It's a silk vintage dress made in Italy. I love it but it was originally past my knees. I love the midi trend but it was far too long. I'm 5'4 so anything longer then two inches past my knees makes me look stumpy.
So at twelve last night I looked up some tutorials and decided to take the dive and hem it finally. I had only wore it once for a photo shoot at the original length.  So i did some research then got my sewing kit out and hand sewed to my desired length. I love it now! I've always loved red and wanted a go-to red dress. It reminds me of a slightly more vintage version of the dress Zooey Deschanel wore in the new girl.

You see it? 

Yeah. So today I went to school on two hours sleep rocking my improved dress, a tiny leather satchel (not shown) black tights, a black belt, and some tan shoes.  So I'm thinking I will keep doing outfit posts every once in a while. I just wanted to show my hard work!
