Closet Confection: A Handmade Tale

{Handmade Dress thrifted via Beacon’s Closet, H&M Belt, Givenchy Heels via Century 21}

I spotted this dress at Beacon’s Closet a few months ago and immediately fell in love.  I could tell by its interior construction that it was made by hand, immediately giving it extra cool points in my book.  I debuted my first sewing project on the blog a few days ago, and this dress gives me major inspiration and excitement for the things I’ll (hopefully) someday be able to create on my own.  Now as keen as I am on my new frock, the real pièce de résistance of this outfit is the shoes.

As soon as I slipped them on, I thought I’d died and gone to shoe heaven.  I already have a severe weakness for shoes of the maryjane variety, but the dainty little peep-toe is what ultimately got me.  I can’t wait to pair them with all manner of hosiery this fall.
