Sometimes You Have to Improvise

Have you ever wanted something you just couldn't get?  What do you do when that happens?  I've found there are three options at moments like this: 1. Give Up, 2. Keep waiting and trying, 3. Improvise.

As far as option 1. goes, there's a time and a place for giving up, but it shouldn't be the default setting when it's something you really care about.  Option 2. is usually the best way to go, but I'm a firm believer that it's ok to give option three a try while you wait.

It very often happens that I either can't find or can't afford a style I'm looking for and I have to come up with a creative solution to achieve the look I want.  Sometimes I come up with something I like even better than the thing I was originally seeking, and sometimes my improv'd look just doesn't satisfy but it's always fun and I love the challenge.

Way back in the last year times, I was searching for the Sea Shanty Singing dress by RockSteady, but I was having no luck.  During that search, I found a RockSteady skirt and a romper and decided to put them together to make a little improvised version of Sea Shanty until the actual dress turned up.

So, my little romper and skirt set was fun, creative, and close enough to tide me over for a while until Sea Shanty turned up, which it did eventually, and then I passed on the romper to a fellow fashionista and kept the skirt for future use.  The end.
