Purple vintage dress

Happy Friday everyone! I wanted to show you guys how I dressed up for the Hunger Games! I didn't have enough time to get whisker implants so I settled for glued on jewels instead : )


Anyway. I thought it'd be fun to do an outfit post while I still had pink tips in my hair. This is a sweet little vintage dress that I reworked (you'll have to get to the bottom picture to see what I did to it though!). And, as always, I wore it with my trusty black suede boots!

The dress is a bit big but it was even poofier before I started altering it. I cut a huge amount of fabric off of each side and finished the edge up with some black trim. I shortened it a bit but I'm thinking it may need to go a little shorter. What do you guys think?

I love this dress. The color is so rich and vibrant! I do like the length actually, buuut if you did want to cut it, I think knee length would be lovely on this particular dress. 
Oh and I lurve your hair! It rocks.

Your dress looks so cute and your pink tips are so amazing.  Also, I wish I wasn't such a pansy when it comes to make-up because your eyeshadow looks so fun in that top photo!

Um, girl. You look absolutely stunning!! And what rocks even more is that you love Hunger Games enough to do your makeup inspired by the story. YES.

Girl let me tell you, purple is your color! You look GREAT! I say you go shorter with the dress- I think knee height would look adorable. You could always just pin it up and test it out.
