everything happens for a reason

"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together." 
— Marilyn Monroe

sorry i haven't posted a refashion for a couple of days!  Ive been busy with guest posts and engagement pictures!  and because i didn't really want to refashion anything.  the past couple of days i was in a funk.  i felt like all of my refashions were turning out badly and not blog worthy.  i also felt that i couldn't put a single cute outfit together!  it really sucks to feel like youre not good at what you do best! haha, but im better now.  i think i was trying to do so many things that i couldnt just sit down and think about what i wanted it to be.  so i have limited myself to one refashion a day...yeah i was doing multipule refashions, like three a day.  so this dress has been refashioned twice. haha...yeah.  i HATED how it looked the first time!  at first i decided that i wanted ruffle sleeves which took me like a half an hour to sew...and i didnt even like how it turned out!  so i wore it anyway thinking oh well maybe if i wear it for a little bit i will start liking it more...yeah, it just made it worse! haha but i love it now!!  i love the ruffles!  dont you think it would look cute with mustard yellow tights and some cowboy boots??  ooohh yeah!

p.s. i also came to the conclusion that i need new shoes!  i wear these with everything!! haha
