Project #3: Shift Dress to Bell Sleeve BabyDoll Refashion

Hello, hello, hello! Today is Day 5 of Refashion Your Summer Wardrobe & my third refashion of the week! There was a lot of hard work and preparation that went in to this week, but these projects have been SO fun. I am excited to add these pieces to my wardrobe and I'm already planning out specific dates/occasions to wear them (anyone else do that??)

Two things I want to talk about today:

Project #2: Button Up to Tie-Front Blouse Refashion + 2 Tricks

Good morning beautiful humans! It's Day 4 of Refashion Your Summer Wardrobe and my second refashion for the week! If you missed my first refashion, you can find it here. Also, reminder to ENTER our 2 giveaways before they close!

Today, I'm sharing the look you see above, which is a transforming a slouchy button up that I might wear with sleeves rolled up, a cardigan, and boots in Fall... into a short-sleeve, button-less, tie front blouse for summer. It's a fairly easy refashion, but one that completely changes the whole look! I have been loving all of the ties that are trending this year, as they are a simple, but interesting, detail that can give pieces a more flattering shape and work with many, many body types.

Project #1: Easy Bow Sleeve Dress + My Refashioning Approach

Hey everybody! Welcome to refashion #1 and our first day of refashioning bootcamp!

I have received SO many questions from people over the past few months about HOW to approach a piece of clothing you want to refashion. How to dive in, how to get started, how to get ideas for what to change in your piece. So today I want to talk you through, and demonstrate, the approach I take to refashion garments everytime.

When I approach a garment that I want to refashion, I look at 4 specific areas, one by one, to break down the piece

Men's White Button Up Refashion

Hello friends!

I have a fairly simple refashion for you all today -- one that anyone of you could easily duplicate with just a simple men's white button up shirt. :)

DIY Bohemian Striped Separates - Ruffle wrap skirt + ruffle sleeve top

Saturdays are all about family time. Big breakfasts. Morning chores. Parks and walks and hikes and seasonal activities. Movie nights and bbqing. I looooooooove Saturdays.

I won't name names... but SOMEONE kept me up all night. So I'm a little bit of a zombie this morning. But, a thankful zombie nonetheless. Thankful for the sunshine and warmth, even though it creeps into our non-air-conditioned house a little too much. Thankful for the sweet squishy baby whose face lights up when he sees me, even the grumpy 3am version of

Blue Tribal Print Dress Refashion

Hey hey hey!! Happy Monday everyone!

Kay. Since my last post, I've had a BUNCH of questions like this---

How much of a gameplan do you have when going in to a thrift store?
How do you figure out what you can make from something at the thrift store?
Do you have the plan just in your head?
Do you sketch it out?
Do you have the same plan start to finish??
How do you know what the heck to get at the thrift store? How can you see "potential" in outdated, and often ugly pieces?
