Off to see the Wizard!

As soon as I put on the dress the temptation to pop on a white shirt underneath, put on my red shoes, grab Toto and skip off to see the Wizard was almost irresistable. As you can see I resisted. For now.

The skipping I couldn't resist. Skipping makes me silly happy.

As with many vintage finds, the dress needed some work. The bodice was rather large for me so I took it in and shortened the straps.

The material is lovely, heavy weave cotton that feels both sturdy and comfy.

Maybe I will wear those red shoes next time. With blue socks....

Dress: Amcorp Mall Flea Market - RM5
Shoes: Cats Whiskers - RM99
Belt: Paperdoll Boutique - RM39
Pearl earrings: Daiso - RM5 (no, I'm not kidding and the packet says they're real)
Lapid Lazuli Pendant: Amcorp Mall (Must look up name of shop) - about RM30 (discounted)

lapis lazuli - how apt. it corresponds to the throat chakra, and you are a journalist.

Yes RM5! =D Material alone has got to be worth more than that.

Interesting, I've always liked Lapis Lazuli. I now want a Moonstone pendant..

Meldee: It still takes me awhile to decode "wawa". But I get there... =P

Petra: Thanks dear. LOL balance is good. I'm more fond of it for the history, the name and how fascinatingly opalescent it is.
