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.

Let me give you a closer look of those thrifted jeans!

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.
