Scissor Happy…

I bet your wondering what I’m up to with that title. A few months ago I saw this dress at Ross for $20.00 and almost bought it. However at the time I didn’t really NEED a new cocktail dress so after a debate with my debit card I put it back. Then yesterday I was decided to go back to Ross to scout a few things for my upcoming engagement photo shoot. Low and behold I check out the clearance rack and see this dress again, but this time for only $14.00 bucks!!!

I wasn’t going to turn away from shopping fate so bought it. This is where it gets tricky. While we were in Louisiana the fiance bought me an amazing antique bib necklace that I wanted to wear for the shoot.  The color of the dress compliments the necklace but the frill on the shoulder was just too much.

Never being the one to settle I busted out with my fabric scissors. Because of the fabric I had to be careful not to cut the actual dress so I cut just snipped along the stitch…..

And now……

It’s perfect for the necklace!!! Yay! I’ll have a separate post on the necklace along with the earrings we scored coming up in a minute 🙂 Oh and never fear…..I saved the frill in case I want to sew it back on again after the shoot.
