Welcome, Dear Friends to
ReFashionista: Year 2!
For one year, I’ll be wearing your rejected rejects…clothing that was donated, but too damaged to sell, and destined for the landfill. The lovely folks at Revente’s Last Call, Revente, and Sid & Nancy have been kind enough to donate their damaged stuff to help make my wardrobe for a year.
That’s right…I will be remaking something new every day for one year.
It doesn’t end there, folks. I’ll be donating everything I remake to Revente’s Last Call, where all profits go to the Women’s Shelter.
However, I might throw in an occasional 50 cent or $1.00 piece, just to keep things interesting. ;)
In a nutshell:
*Yay! I’m helping keep clothing out of the landfill!
*Yay! I’m helping women in need!
*Yay! I’m using my creativity to do something more than a little nutty!
I really hope I’m clever enough for this. :)
Now…let’s get to some bloggery!
Do you like what I’m doing? Would you like to help the Women’s Shelter? Click here for ways to help!
Love what you’re doing. I have sooooooooo wanted to do something similar for years. No, I never told you about it but anyway…this is great!
This is fabulous! I think I shall hit you up for some custom outfit designs for me for a fee. Such great work! And, I need girlie things :)
You are fabulous! I am so excited to try some of your ideas out!
I cant wait to try some of these ideas! :) You’ve given me great inspiration!
I stumbled on this blog when I searched for re-fashion blogs on Google. This blog is awesome and I saw your creations are really cool, and very chic….and I can never tell them it’s refashioned if I don’t look at the “before.”
I also would like to do some refashioning and blog about it…..but the BIGGEST problem is I don’t know how to sew. But that is one of my top list things to do this year—to enroll in a sewing class and learn making pretty clothes like you do.
Wonderful idea – all the best in your mission!
great idea and helping out a good cause
I am completely impressed!
Such a brilliant idea! I’m so happy I found your blog :)
Found your blog just today. Your ideas are awesome! Keep it up! :)
PS and of course, I love it that there’s charity that comes with this fun :)
I love your works and I’m in love with your style! I just started sewing and recycling old clothes!
I just found your blog and it is the best refashion blog I’ve come across so far! Keep it up!
Thank you so much for your kind words. :)
I nominated you for the Versatile Blogger Award :)

Oh Wow! Thanks!!!!!! :) :) :) :) I’m honored!
What a joy to come across your blog! I literally looked at every page from start to finish; such an inspiration. Really touching when I read the post about your Grandmother… I too lost mine a few years back and she is the one that made me want to sew. I have dabbled in sewing for a long time and have finally made the decision to start taking classes in January and I am more than thrilled. This just gave me the boost I needed! Thank you for sharing and for all that you have done to help a wonderful cause.
I wish you all the best!!

Oh wow! Thank you so much! :)
sending positive vibes from here to there…good luck and…definitely…all the best chicky!
I’m doing something of a similar sort, but you have a much greater objective! love that not only are you eliminating waste but doing something great for others. I’m trying to eliminate waste, save money and show that you don’t have to spend a ton of $$ to look amazing! http://secondhandchallenge.wordpress.com/
You are amazing! have you had any local media coverage? Seriously, this is so great what you are doing!
Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. I love that you’ve found a way to use your creativity to do great things. Love your blog. Keep it up!
