Strawberry Alterations

    Springtime brings so much activity.  Proms, graduation, Lent, Easter, birthdays, and vacations.  I've had a bit of all those things on my plate this season, and it's been a little exhausting.  For Lent, I gave up shopping/spending for 40 days.  It was tough, but I did it and I'm glad I did.  During this time, I did neither outfit planning nor photos , but I did take this Collectif beauty out of my closet and customize it a bit to better suit my tastes.  This dress was part of the December 2024 re-opening sale of dead stock, so I got it for extremely cheap.  It has since been re-released on the website, in a full range of sizes.  
    No disrespect to Colletif, I love all the dresses I have bought from them over the years.  I bought this dress without intending to change a thing because I love the print, and acutally, I do love the dress with the white accents, but I don't really have the shoes and accessories for styling it with the white.  I realized that if I couldn't style it, I wouldn't wear it.  So, I jumped in and made the changes that would help me get the most wear out of this dress.  The full video of how I made these adjustments to the dress is available on YouTube today and I've included the link below.
