Today’s outfit is a bogo refashion. 🙂 I began with this pair of blue velvet pants.


I probably would have kept these pants as-is and saved them for fall if it weren’t for one little problem.

I lopped off the legs and hemmed them under to make a rather fetching pair of velvet shorts for a hot and humid SC July day! 🙂

I tossed on my favorite beaded necklace (that used to be my great-grandmother’s), a vintage scarf, and a sweet straw handbag I scored at a yard sale for a couple of bucks.
Oh…and does that shirt look hauntingly familiar?

It’s identical to the one I wore yesterday! It had a big black stain on one of the sleeves, so it got the same sleeve-removal treatment.

Fella and I celebrated the 4th (well, technically the 3rd) chilling in my friend Melissa L’s lovely backyard and porch with some lovely friends.


We drank tasty white wine sangria, played cornhole (click on it…it’s not nearly as naughty as it sounds 😉 ), and relaxed before heading over to the stadium for the Columbia Blowfish Game and fireworks!



Cheers! I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday weekend! 🙂
