I spent 9 hours on Monday taping, painting and doing all of the finishing work on my soon-to-be dressing room. After I cleaned up my painting mess, moved the dresser in and mopped the floor I felt satisfied with the changes and was excited to start moving the bigger pieces over in the morning.
YOU WONT BELIEVE THIS: 15 minutes after finishing the room, the bathroom sprung a leak in the bathtub (conveniently located right above the new dressing room) and destroyed over 1/2 of the ceiling and flooded the new dressing room. Seriously, 15 minutes later. What are the odds? So now I'm in the middle of two dressing rooms as I wait for the repairs (thanks to Mr. C and his crafty home skills) to be finished. The ceiling is back up - so now we just have to add texture and repaint.
With that as a backdrop story - please excuse the mess in my upcoming photos.

| As requested - here is the dress I wore to the masquerade ball. It's a vintage 60's shift dress in beige with gold trim. I had about 6" taken off to keep it short and spicy. I paired it with skin colored fishnets and black platform slingbacks. I bought this at a local vintage boutique, $80 plus $25 for hemming. |
 |
| Vintage faux fur coat with gold buttons. I've been dying to wear these two pieces together, so the Masquerade ball was the perfect event. Coat - thrifted $12. |
 |
| OOTD - French Nautical Theme Striped shirt by Banana Republic, William Rast jeans, op shopped leather ankle boots. |
 |
| I've been wanting to show you my new trench coat. It was a vintage find for a mere $3 - and in perfect like-new condition. I had it hemmed to right above the knee - and now it's my perfect French style trench. Total cost with alterations: $23! Bonus: It is waterproof and easy machine wash. |
 |
| So versatile - it looks great worn open |
 |
| Or belted. I like the classic venting in the back. |
I'm hoping the dressing room will be finished soon. My industrial racks showed up today - so it's getting closer.
xoxo,
Michelle

Unfortunate about the dressing room but having a handy person in the house will make things right!
