Creative Control

November 17, 2014,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

Ordering online can be a hit-or-miss game. And the only snag with the overseas retailers that I’m so fond of is that it’s usually not worth it to return things. So I have to get a little creative once in a while. I ordered this blazer from OASAP a few weeks ago. When it arrived I found that it was way too long on me. So I pinned it in a few key places and turned it into a dress.

creativecontrol3I’ve always found the idea of a blazer dress very sexy. I think a black, men’s blazer pinned into a dress with a red lip and tousled hair would make for a perfect going out look. This is a more cheerful version of that idea.
