I like the bow tied in the front, especially now that the alteration has raised the waist a bit. At least I can get some more wear out of thios dress now.

ATL Vest
Threadless Tee
Lands End clams
Wooden Bean necklace from Payless Shoes
Maddden Girl Gladiators

Oh my goodness, Khris! Do you do all your alterations yourself? I'm amazed. That target dress, now sleeveless, is amazing! I love it. Those beads are perfect for it. My favorites are the looks with the vest, though. They are fresh and funky. I want to do that soon, too!

Great outfits- I particularly like the blue dress and the cerise dress it looks great how you've altered the sleeves x

you are so clever...love the dress after you took the sleeves out, how creative..I never would have thought to do that.

The last dress looks like a completely new one! Brilliant
Your alterations are fantastic for you and you will get more wear from the items for sure.
I love how you dress for hot weather. Since I am not used to the heat here in SF, when it gets in the 80's I llok like a limp dish rag lol.

Those alterations are amazing. You have a great eye to know just what needed to be done.
You are looking great. You are getting so slim and you have such a beautiful figure. I LOVE your cheerful style. It makes me think that you are a fun person to hang around with and have a cheerful personality.

Thanks ladies! I have so many things that need to be altered right now that I am just doing them all myself. I actually still have a couple of items to get to. I used to hate dressing for the summer, but now that I have dresses to just throw on it's a lot easier!

Great week chewy! I love seeing your before/after pictures on the alterations. It's so helpful to see how much can be done.

Between the alterations and the Madden gladiators, I am in heaven! LOVE what you did with the Target dress, and the tunic has had new life breathed into it. (Which is great because I love that on you.)

Your ability to tailor your clothes is going to continue to help you as you sliiiide down the scale. I wish I had been able to do it!

I love that you use color so well! and let me say that your dress without the sleeves is much better.. my favorite! It is so flattering!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Killer body!

Thanks ladies! I knew I learned to sew for some reason LOL
