I spotted this $20 dress at H&M and scooped it up. It’s a thick jersey, super comfy and fits great. Although, it needed a couple adjustments.First off, it was too short for me.Secondly, there were no pockets! Duh. Every casual dress or skirt needs pockets.Thirdly, it needed a little color. I’d need to be serious […]
