A Fall Floral Top
Oh hai fall, I didn’t know it was you! I am deeply and profoundly excited about our (admittedly slight) change in temperature here in SC. Usually I get a little down as cold weather approaches, but not this year. 🙂 I’m ready for stews, tea and nights curled up with a book by my fireplace. I even decorated! I’m also excited about a certain 90’s trend that’s making a comeback this year: Fall Florals! You can read my recent Good Life Blog post about super-thriftable Fall 2016 trends here. When I saw this frock on my refashion rack, my gears began to turn.

This led to my love of both of these things, as well as one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. The store received shipments of wine in these awesome wooden crates, which they then sold in the store for $7 apiece. I bought four of them to stack as bookshelves in my first apartment, and they’ve been with me ever since. Here they are in my old/kind of dodgy apartment I lived in before I bought my house (down payments don’t pay for themselves). When I…
A Kylie Jenner-esque Denim Dress
When fellow Columbia blogger, Haley Sprankle created a Kylie Jenner-esque denim dress ensemble with a thrifted men’s denim shirt and challenged others to do the same, I decided to hop on board. I couldn’t care less about Kylie Jenner and her ilk if I tried, but even I had to admit this was a really cool look, and I wanted a comfy denim dress of my very own. I also haven’t sewn a frock in a while and was craving something fun and new. 🙂 I ran to the thrift store and found this large men’s shirt for $1. I was kind of hoping I could do what Haley did, and just…
