The [Button Up] Dress

8/29/2013

Thrifted Outfit Description:
Homemade Headband: Free
Dress: Men's XL Abercrombie & Fitch Button Up
Belt: $1.30


The headband was made from scrap material of an older DIY project. I reconstructed a long velvet skirt into a mini skirt. I was so in love with the material that I couldn't throw the access away. FYI The Mini Skirt D.I.Y Project will be posted soon. The dress I'm wearing is actually a older button up. I simply placed a belt around the middle to make it look more like a dress. You could also restructure it with your sewing machine. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to do that this go round (hence the thrifted belt).

I hit the thrift store so you wouldn't have to search the stores for a button that could transform into a dress like I have done. YOUR IN LUCK! I found a Men’s RALPH LAUREN POLO Classic Fit Long Sleeve Maroon Shirt. It is an XL like the one I have. Click Here to purchase it for yourself.

I only have one! Get it now before someone else does.

With some creativity, you can transform your wardrobe to whatever you want it to be.

This young lady definitely knows how to thrift and looks fabulous doing it (peep the hair and nails)! She had so many great dressing room photos that I couldn't pick one look. So you're in luck, I am giving you 3 looks. Also, I would like to add that not only is she a nifty thrifter, she is a very talented writer.  Go look at her blog site.

The Dual Meaning of Going Green

8/21/2013

Getting right down to business! The First Meaning. . . 

I know you have been following the posts,  so the first meaning should be obvious. If it isn't, don't worry, I'll still tell you. Emeralds/ Greens are sooo IN for the Fall. So I thought to have some fun with it and wear everything green I could find lol.

***Disclaimer: I know you may be thinking....What's going on with the sweater? This Atlanta weather has been crazy. The day of this shoot just so happened to be a cold one.

The Second Meaning. . .

When you thrift shop, you are subconsciously making this world a better place by making use of the three R's (Reuse, Renew, and Recycle). I typically make use of all the R's.
