Bling up that old dress

Is this considered a refashion or a restyle? This casual ponte knit dress was drafted and made in late 2009 when I entered Pattern Review's Wardrobe Contest:
I bought some jeweled clips and brooches years ago when my local fabric shop was getting rid of them at bargain basement prices. I just clip them in different places and the dress turned into this:


So I think with the right makeup, hair, shoes, festive shawl and jewelry, this could be work as a  casual 'cocktail with friends' dress. What do you think?

The addition of those lovely baubles really do make it a different dress altogether. Thanks for the post! -Seeks, EOD
