Updates Of Retro Christian Dior Dress TOP!

The concern of Chanel mini flap is its chain. For most people, they concern that the mini flap would sit right on their hip bone. Maybe it is also because they are just being body-conscious.

For me, I like the way wherever it sits on, whether my hip bone, my butt or even my belly. I assume that my body is not that curved to be aware where my flap would go as long as it is secured on me.

Today, the weather is quite nice and sunny. I prepared this ensemble just for such nice weather -- finally, my altered Christian Dior dress TOP has the chance to show its face. This is the debut of the top look and I shall have more inspiration for the two pieces dress in the future.

MY ODJ!

1. TOP:
  • Christian Dior multi-colored top after alternation (one shoulder stop w/ drape)
  • American Apparel teal green halter top / asymmetrical skirt dress
  • L. K. collection burgundy ruffle collar w/ tulip design 1/2 sleeves coat
  • Max&Co. ruched belt
2. Black lace leggings
3. Shoes: Charles David black pointed sling back stilletto
4. Chanel Black caviar mini flap w/ silver HW
5. Cameo w/ gold frame (chained as a necklace)

I shortened the chain to hand-held the mini flap.


I will wear the Dior top alone next time!!


Look at my triceps!! haha...


Mini flap sits on my butt!


Mini flap sits on my belly or hip bone!!


Why worry it so much?!! Just carry it away!!!

Rachel (hope you don't mind me calling you by name :), I love how you alter clothes to fit your body/needs. The red/green combo is really bold and the mini really pops against the red jacket.

btw, your daughter is adorable!! my son's first "professional" haircut was so traumatic that we never went back :P

haha...Nancy:

Thanks, sweetie. How have you been?

I guess that's why people say the personality of your children has something to do w/ their orders of being born. My little girl is really mature compared to the same age of my older son and older daughter. haha... I totally can imagine your son's freaking out about having a hair cut. But I remember my son is not so bad since I let him hold a big box of candy. hehe.....Since then, he enjoys going to there for a hair cut, always have some treats afterward. You should give it a try then. hah...

Rachel - I love how you wear your dior top over the dress.. It looks like you draped a shawl over the dress, very creative! Oh, does your mini flap come in other colors? Also, I just PM'ed you in TPF about your trip to L.A.

Make a Wish w/ Russia Babushka doll!!

My friend, Michelle asked me about my opinion of Chanel Babushka doll's necklace once and I said "Not worth getting it"!! Now I am not so sure if I would say the same thing to this adorable babushka doll clutch!! lol However, even I want to find it, this doll clutch is probably long gone by now!! I have a real Russia Babushka doll made in Russia which is a gift from 10 years ago! I couldn't find the same one in USA since this set of 15 nesting dolls are truly intricate!! This is the biggest one which has the most exquisite engraving. Total 15 of them! (2 are missing from the pic.) I heard that you can make a wish w/ these nesting dolls. If your wish comes true, you can open one until all 15 are all open!! I never made any wish w/ them, guess I was too realistic of a person myself. I don't know if each engraved temple/castle on the dolls represents something. You can't open the smallest one which is only the size of the little finger nail. I adore those golde
