you suddenly complete me

I've had this 50's dress for a while, but recently hemmed it a little shorter and took in the waist line (originally worn here when my hair was super short!) - definitely going to get more wear out of this dress.

Among the many things I need to buy for fall, my biggest concern is buying a new waist belt. I have a strong feeling my over-wearing this belt made it looks 50 years older than it really is. The Dries Van Notens were snagged off eBay some time last month for some ridiculously cheap price.

Anyways, school is starting next week, meaning I only have this weekend to completely revamp my closet. Frantically on the lookout for drapey, shimmery pieces, thigh-high boots, pleats that last for days, equestrian pants, shaggy vests, less basic more unconventional tops, and CFM pumps.

P.S. For those who have been asking, I'm using a XSI Canon Rebel with a fancy lens courtesy of my darling boyfriend.

P.S.S. You can win your own 2 Bandits boot bands as seen in the post below by telling Ruby Press what your favorite style is and why!
