My husband said that I looked like a superhero today. But he's in the comic book biz, so I think he sees superheroes in everything . I wonder what my super power would be...
I picked up this dress last week at Goodwill for $6. I couldn't let that pretty gray snakeskin just sit there all by itself. I had to bring it home to unlock its full potential.
Yesterday, I finally got around to altering it. I whacked 15" off the hem and took in the top a little - it was quite "blousen" in it's original state. And I also removed some serious shoulder pads!
I bought these tights last year, but have yet to wear them. The gray was perfect for this dress! I love the monochromatic look set off with my bright red super boots.
Today's weather was still beautiful for fall, but a little nip in the air required a light topper. This little brocade number was the perfect weight.

You can barely see the snakeskin print in these pics, although it does look quite lovely. The length is perfect on you, oh la la!
Great dress for an even better price!
Great Vision!!!!! Looks Fab.....
Ohhhh that dress is great! And, are those pockets too? Even better!
i picture your power in these boots to be able to thrift in a single bound. you look so cute. i love all three pieces and how they work together.
Funny story: i went to add your blog to my blog list and saw that you had become a "follower" lol. So cool! I love belted dress like this one: sounds like you did a lot of work on it. Looks awesome :)
Yay superhero Kyla! That dress is adorable, and I love the jacket.
You have such a great eye for clothing with possibility-- does that make sense? I don't know if I could ever see that dress 15" longer & plus shoulder pads and think "Man, I could make this look fabulous!" I only WISH I had your fabulous goodwill-ing skills :)
Ha! I second Marys comment above. You have "the eye"...
I just so love those boots.
You look AMAZING in grey and those boots...Gotta love how they pop!!
oh oh oh you do look like a little super hero! So funny! A well dressed and extremely fashionable super hero with killer boots, if I do say so myself. I think we need to give you an appropriate super hero name.... hmm I will brain storm on this one.
anyways, I adore this dress a million times over. Its so flowy and pretty on you! So glad you chopped off those extra inches, it looks truly adorable this way. Its such a great monochromatic look with the color in the tights and the dress. It looks like such a gorgeous iridescent material. And those boots of course just pop. I found red ones just like that, but over the knee ones from C.Russe for like 30 dollars! But they were all out of my size.
I was devastated as you can imagine.
sad face.
anyways, beautiful as always darling :)

You know if you wear those boots one more day in a row, they might never come off!! Kidding... I love them so I don't blame you!
That second to last picture of you is gorgeous, would make a great sketch by they lady that makes sketches for bloggers.
Its good to see your hair down, I love your bangs.
You are the CUTEST and most STYLISH Superhero I know! This dress is awesome and I am so glad you brought it home. It looks perfect with your red boots too!

you snapped of 15 inches!!!,... you sure have the eye to see the potential in things, the dress looks super cute in its present state. hard to imagine it ultra long with shoulder pads and all, you did a great job of altering it.
i LOVE that dress!!! i could totally see myself in something like that. it's chic, but looks comfortable too!
Great thrifty find.
you know what happened today? Your boots called and said they wanted a vacation over here in Canada... they'll send postcards. Great. Thanks.
what a cute dress - i need to go shopping (read thrifting) one of these days again!
what a great find! love the dress. also, I'm wearing my black suede skirt today and inadvertantly chaneled your style from "friendly skies", ha!
is the brocade coat from target with the faux-fur collar removed? if so i have the same one! love the red boots. nice alteration. i have seen the light regarding grey tights recently!
Gorgeous, love the gray dress!
Oh girlfriend! Those boots are insane! If I had them I'd be wearing them all the time! I love this whole outfit.
This outfit is to die for! I especially love the beautiful silver thrifted dress paired with the red boots!
