Style Savouring: A Quick Fix

Sometimes the unthinkable happens, you know when you pick up the typical his and her dry cleaning—only this time it's from a new place and the surprise is that they ruined one of your garments! Yes, lesson learned.

It almost never happens, however I ventured out to try a couple of different places regarding special laundering services, which was certainly needed for several garments. Although, in the end the damages were covered, it did not nearly take the place of my item that was once ... a dress. The hem, now significantly shorter needed a reason to remain in my wardrobe.

Perhaps looking on the "bright side," this dress was already shorter than I had wanted it to be initially, but now I would definitely not have any other option other than to pair it with layering pieces underneath. This time I chose denim instead!
 
I bought this pair of skinny jeans during Christmas holiday shopping, and I must say, they are incredibly comfortable. The fit feels very nice. The fabric has a luxe and versatile hand to it and I love how I can almost wear them as regular pants. Most people could not tell that they were denim. I wore these a few weeks ago, incorporating them into a work ensemble, then wore them again with this look.

Sure, it was a classic garment going wrong, but with good intentions that turned into a wonderful and clearly fixed solution! All thanks to the dry cleaning service that I will likely not visit again. But, I thought savouring every part of this dress was worth it!



Do you have any garments in your closet that you've needed to alter in order to "make it work," so to speak?
