Wannabe Wednesday: Procrastination Edition
Yeah! Wannabe Wednesday!
Woo.
Ugh.
I’m one tired ReFashionista, my friends! My life is a series of endless fittings, dyeing, and stitchery! I really want my first ever ReFashion Show to be something special!
But I still need to keep myself clothed as well! This week’s inspiration piece comes from Madewell.
The dress will cost you $140…but the daffy expression on her face is truly priceless.
I’m clearly in no position to judge the daft look on that model’s face:
I’ve seen better mug shots. :/
Anywho…this was a super-quick one, friends.
All I needed was a little chop!
Just a lil chop!
The bottom scrap became a sash to get my waist all nice & cinched! Now I have a new dress to wear while making a BUNCH of other new dresses!
Can you tell it’s windy outside?
Can you tell my buddy Alex is wearing a hat? 🙂
I did get a good bit of work done, but then I got hungry. It was around 2:30 when my buddy Alex and I planned on meeting for lunch. Then I got a speeding ticket (my first in 4 years! Ugh!) Then the restaurant we met at had already closed its kitchen. Then we went to the Cock n’ Bull Pub (which used to be my first apartment!) and everything really went downhill. Their kitchen had closed as well and I was pretty bummed about getting a speeding ticket…so we had a pint. Then an eccentric former CIA agent (or so he said…I doubt they’re supposed to tell people that) paid for them.
So we had another pint (we wanted to support this small business).
Numero Dos.
Then we were offered samples of this tasty goodness:
Tastes like cotton candy!
The lovely bartendress told me she reads my blog! 🙂
Cheers!
Will I manage to stay out of cute neighborhood pubs for the rest of this week?
Will I get everything done in time for the big show?
Stay tuned! 🙂
Original Cost: $140
Copycat Cost: $1

Like this one a lot. Good job.
I’ve been looking to try Sweet Revenge. I thought it was strawberry lemon flavored. Now that I know it’s more like cotton candy, I’ll pass. Thanks! BTW cute dress 🙂 Will we get to see photos from your fashion show? Good luck!
Awesome refash – looks better than the $140 version!
Fantastic! Good Job!!
Your dress looks so much cuter than the original! And Sweet Revenge sounds delicious, I’ll have to search for it.
How awful were the other shots of the inspiration model, that the one with her showing her Crazy Face was the best choice?
Great Job! I loved it!
I have to say, I didn’t have high hopes for the dress and you pleasantly surprised me, AGAIN! 😀 Nice job!
A liqueur that tastes like cotton candy? I’m gonna need to try that, STAT!
I think the daffy look on that model may have been because they didn’t brush her hair and made her wear those ugly 70′s looking hushpuppy shoes. Can’t see your shoes on this one, but I’ll bet you wore those great boots you thrifted recently. Your wannabe outfit wins by leaps and bounds! Wishing you much success for your “Re”Fashion show — post pics so we can see too!
I like today’s remake a lot I can see women of all ages wearing this one. Looks better than the Madewell piece. Great job!
I love this and I love the story of your day. At least you got a free round!
This is gorgeous-I love this colour on you and thanks for using a sash instead of elastic for the waist XD
I love your blog! It inspires me to try to refashion some of my own wardrobe- various sizes:-(
Nice! And you know how to accessorize to make the most of the garments – that’s another skill altogether 🙂
Such a great remake! I love the color of your dress. 🙂
