The dress form in the corner of my bedroom had a little makeover....
I change her dresses often....
... This time I went a little further... I peeled off her white fabric cover and dressed her in the cutest little pink dress I bought from Heather.... The pink color was a bit bright, so I dyed the whole dress in tan Rit dye... Love the more muted, vintage pink!!
I also dug out a charcoal drawing I had tucked in the garage for years.... It was painted by a spanish artist when I was 13 years old and on vacation in Puerto Banus....
I had just the perfect frame for it, complete with a pink velvet trim... I feel weird about putting pictures of myself on the walls, so for now it sits behind my bathtub... It looks sweet, there....

ReplyDeleteHave just brought a mannequin into our house and am sure this will enjoy many happy transformations. But it's not as vintage as yours. That portrait is pretty cute....
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful picture of you! I think it should be in a more prominent place though, for all the world to see!
