“Thrift wedding dress makeover" Part III: thrift shopping

🤩“ I’m gonna pop some tags Only got twenty dollars in my pocket I’m hunting, looking for a come up, this is f****ng awesome ”😎 💍: If you don’t feel confident to create a new dress yourself why not take one and do a makeover. ⚡️: Actually, it’s a great idea, huh ? 💍: Let’s go to Marais, find one that we like and personalize it. That’s gonna be fun. Few cups of tea later we were in Marais looking for a perfect match.

Going on a shopping spree we didn’t realize that after we would visit few stores, we would want to run far far far away from them and as soon as we have found 3 wedding gowns that we liked, we actually did.

🤔Why ? 🤔 1. There is not much space…..to breath inside. To the point when you get all claustrophobic after spending 5 min in a shop

2. Every second you are stepped on or disturbed by tons of people who MUST pass “through” you to get somewhere. Why would you care if a person is in the middle of a fitting ?! 3. There are no fitting rooms => you are forced to show the world your underwear. 😳 or if they DO exist you are there for an hour chatting with 5 other “refashion” enthusiasts 🤓 in line.

4. People are so “nice”……….most of the time🙄. Few(4) ladies couldn’t wait to share their indiscrete comments about the fools that would buy a wedding dress in that kind of stores. Beach, please!🤦🏻‍♀️ You know what I mean… So, We were extremely happy to find the ones that we liked and leave, but we bought only 2 of them with an idea to mix them together….. ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️ Try to guess which ones?
