It would look great with a pair of white pants or a white skirt and your red heals. You can have your top and pillow too! But maybe don’t wear it while having company or it could look awkward when you sat on the couch.

Cut that baby up! At least as pillows it will be getting used! Who knows, maybe you will have enough material to use elsewhere as well!

I was about to toss it in the donate pile since I wore it maybe once a season when i thought, “Such great fabric. Sigh. I’ll miss it.” That was my lightbulb moment. I now have a lovely pillow on my couch inviting me to sit and take a load off. LOVE. I say, make that dress a pillow!

I totally eat, breathe, and sleep decorating too. obsessed. I even made pillows out of my husband’s sweater this past winter. You are hilarious. No issues at all, seriously. You’re as normal as normal needs to be, I think! Krista

How often do you wear the dress? If all the time then I’d hold off making pillow, but if you don’t wear that often then go for the pillow. I love the pattern. I dream of organizing. All the time. Love to read blogs, books, magazines. I even snoop around friends and families homes just to see how they organize (or lack of). Too bad my house didn’t reflect my love for organizing as like you, I can get paralyzed at organizing because I want it to be perfect and don’t want to second guess myself.

If you’re going to love the dress and dream of cute outfits, but never actually wear them all spring and summer, I say go ahead and cut with abandon. Pillows unite! Wait. What? Viva la Pillows!

For instance, I never wear jewelry. Well, let me qualify that, besides my wedding rings and my diamond necklace my husband gave me, I never wear jewelry. I never change it up no matter how cute it looks on someone else or what I see on pinterest. I never wear it. So I recently gave away all my jewelry to VERY appreciative friends and reduce my sentimental and family collection from a large jewelry box to a small one.

Know yourself.

Cut that dress up and make a pillow. You will love it more. xo
