{ costume of the day } the scarf dress

shortly after i posted about craving caftans with which to beat the heat, i ordered this fantastic, filmy little scarf dress from forever21:
it seemed like a sweet summer solution. but when it arrived, i realized i wasn't crazy about its sort of scratchy, faux-boho braided leather straps...

...so i swapped them out for my own mixed chains:

et voila!
obviously, i was inspired a bit by this project. i enjoy clothes, i adore jewelry ~ and i especially love the two (even better) when melded together!


{ zanzan sunnies, the glamourai earrings, rachel rachel roy jacket, customized forever21 dress, vintage belt, poppy crystal cuff (courtesy of coach), vintage chain bangles, alberta ferretti shoes }

i wanted to give you the link to buy & redo this dress for yourself, but unfortunately it's already sold out online. so, i'll do you one better: check back tomorrow for a long-overdue DIY ~ turns out it's insanely easy to make one of your own! stay tuned, and i'll show you how! WAIT NO LONGER! the complete DIY is HERE!!
