The Lavender Tree

     So, this is day two for me of twelve days straight of work with no break! I have to admit, I am slightly daunted and not too excited about it.  That said, I definitely brought it upon myself so I can't whine to much!  I sometimes work a promotional marketing job I have had for a few years on weekends for a little extra cash in addition to my full time job during the week, since I am trying to save for a brandy new camera.  The gig for this weekend is for Dove health and beauty products, which I have done a billion times before, so it should be a piece of cake! It is also at Costco, which means... free samples for lunch, woohoo!




  


   


 
Outfit Details:
Blouse: vintage
Shoes: vintage
Tights:target
Floral Crown: DIY

     This dress is the first vintage piece I shortened and hemmed, with the help and guidance of R's mom (thank you!).  It used to be an awkward mid calf length and pretty frumpy, and the shortening made all the difference!  It has the prettiest french country floral print and the fabric is super comfy! I was seriously tempted to keep it for myself, but alas, I bought it for the shop, and that where you can find it now!  This post is quite the floral explosion, which I somehow only realized after editing the pictures... the tree blossoms, the printed dress, the flower embroidery on the blouse collar, and the floral crown, woah.  Anyway,  perhaps I overdid it a little bit but Spring makes me a little floral obsessed (and I know I am not alone here!) 
     I am off to the post office to mail out my cousins bridesmaids jewelry I just finished (check it out on instagram @braidedbandit) and a lovely vintage package heading to Australia!  Hope you guys are having a slightly more relaxing week than I am!

  12. Oh my...I am just loving everything here Hannah! Your crown is gorgeous and how you styled that dress...ADORING it:) Brilliantly hemmed as well! I have so many dresses like that laying around that are that length. Though the prints are perfect, the lengths are a bit dowdy...I still hesitate hemming them for my Etsy shop though in fear that my skills won't be up to someone else's standards. You just started hemming yourself, right? Do you hem things for your shop?

    Have a marvelous weekend lady...enjoy your Dove gig:) xx Marisa
