Forever in blue-green

Sometimes, it takes me awhile to come up with a cool title for my posts. So when I finally thought of this one I typed it in and realized that without little music notes around it...it's not cute. You see, it's like that cheesy (but appreciated for kitsch value) Neil Diamond song, "Forever in Blue Jeans." Except, I used my favorite color. Get it? (crickets chirp.)
I'll just start with this:

What even is this? A fancy house dress or some big, comfy evening wear? As usual, I took the easy way out of dealing with oversized '80s shoulders; I cut the sleeves off.
Looking for another shortcut, I got an idea to turn it backwards and make it wrap-like. Cut to the chase:

I basically put one side over the other and secured it with a belt. I think if I replace those patent leather shoes with boots, it could be worn like a regular outfit.

I liked that "after" pic so much, I used it as part of my updated title header. Here's the post on my blog Craft, Thrift, or Die.
Also, here's last month's Valentine's Day dress. Wasn't very exciting, but kinda cute. More blog.
