Need ideas please :)

So, we went to our monthly GoodWill date this morning.  I was a little disappointed overall, but I still managed to find some pretty sweet stuff:

How rad is this T-shirt?!

A pair of work capris (for when it gets warmer again!), a cute dress I don't fit into, a sweet little picnic basket that will fit in my bike basket, a black/white shirt, and a long blue flowery skirt.

The problem with that cute dress I don't fit into is that even if I were to make it my "goal dress" and eventually fit into it by summertime, it's still WAY too short to actually wear as a dress, anyway!  But I just had to buy it...I walked past it literally three different times and I kept pulling it out, looking at it, wishing I could make it work for my body.  Now I'm trying to figure out what to make with the fabric.  I often buy dresses or things at these GoodWill dates because I get inspired to make something for Caida (or someone else, but usually her :), but I am selfish and I love this fabric tons and I want to use it for ME and not for another little dress for her.  Here's a close-up of the bottom:

 and the top:

Isn't it gorgeous?  I was kinda thinking maybe an apron?  The kind that just wraps around the waist, with the brown/top fabric as the pockets?  But, first of all, I don't have much use for a waist/hip only apron (the two full-length ones I already have are plenty stained up top!); and, secondly, I want it to be something I could use/see OFTEN because the fabric just makes me happy...but it doesn't work with my kitchen colors anyway.  I was also thinking of maybe just using it as fabric to line a crocheted bag or something...or a baby quilt for any of my many preggo friends.  And part of me says it's just not speaking to me *as* anything yet, and I thought maybe I would ask my talented friends who actually sew and create stuff to inspire me.

What do YOU think I should do with it? 

(P.S. Paul also got a suit pant, two sports jackets, two ties, AND a business shirt.  And we paid $20 total for the whole lot of it.  I LOVE GOODWILL!!!)

Also, my bathroom has turned out just too dark.  Even when it's clean, it feels dirty with all the brown and black in it.  This little origami doll (already hanging up in the bathroom) is my inspiration for a newer, fresher color palette:

Specifically, I would go with a mostly white bathroom with lighter/glittery silver, pink, and mint accents.  I've scoured the internet for inspiration but these colors aren't often together in decorating (and when they are it's very DATED feeling and tacky).  Ideas on DIY projects for a small, apartment bathroom when I can't just remodel and paint everything?  Even Pinterest isn't inspiring me much with this.  I need your help!

Please and thank you!
