GLAMOROUS IN PINK

At this time of year, a pop of colour in your favourite shade may it be pink, blue, purple or anything your heart desires is so fresh.  A Chic minimalist is glamours and sophisticated in a flirty magenta pink dress.

Also never be afraid to customize an off the rack item using a tailor.  This dress was originally knee length with longer sleeves.  Here is a tip from my tailor when altering the proportions of a dress.   If you are shortening the length of a dress, please be sure to consider altering its sleeve length in order to maintain a garments proportions and shape.   Especially since no one wants to feel that they are wearing a shrunken dress!


Ensemble Details:    Dress - Magenta Femme de Carriere

Hope you all will have a lovely Saturday mes amies. I am off to the cafe for a shot of the news and an espresso...
