Glorious shifts :)

So, I really have been wanting some shift dresses for the past few days. Like a lot of them. So I can throw them over some tights/leggings, put on some boots and look instantly cute without having to try too hard :)

Here are a few I've been ogling over the internet:

Both from American Apparel, obviously :) I like the gray one especially. It looks like something that I would actually wear a lot. I like the idea of the skintight mauve one, but I'm not sure how I would actually like wearing it.
This one's from Target. I could see it a little shorter, but I LOVE the color and it's from target (which is amazing), so I might actually go try it on in store. It has a cute little neck ruffle too. And I'm all about the neck ruffle.

Speaking of shifts, I've convinced my friend Luke to help me make a dress out of an old plaid flannel shirt, since he can sew and I can't. Well, I can make a straight seam, but that's about it. Hopefully we can get started this weekend, after a trip to Goodwill and a good rummage through my dad's closet. Pictures will be posted when it's finished, of course :)
