Day 350: Charity Shop Chic Top
Sometimes I draw a lot of inspiration blatantly steal ideas from other refashionistas out there. Today’s refash is inspired by Sally over at Charity Shop Chic. 🙂 Sally’s blog recently featured a Carrie Bradshaw Month, where she created clever knockoffs of stylish pieces worn by Sarah Jessica Parker on Sex and the City. She was inspired by this top right here… …so she created her own version (you can check out Sally’s tutorial here) out of a thrifted tee! 🙂…
Day 343: Fab Foodie Dress
I’ve had today’s piece for quite a while. I really wasn’t quite sure what I’d be able to do with it! :/ By the way, don’t let that fence behind me fool ya. My neighbors can totally see me when I do my before pics outside. They probably think I’m insane! 🙂 Anywho…back to this insane muumuu! I chose it for its cute foodie print. 🙂 Sadly, this thing is just flippin’ huge on me! I decided to take it…
Day 339: Miss Fix It Dress
A less observant refashionista might not have noticed anything amiss with today’s dress. But look a little closer!

Day 335: Turtleneck Skirt

I love tacky prints, and this one definitely fits the bill, but it just isn’t working for me as a top…and certainly not as a turtleneck top! :/ Of course, I have a plan! First, I pinned straight along the side seams, all the way down through the sleeves. Then, I stitched those side seams down! I cut off the extra side fabric, and trimmed straight across that atrosh neckline. Now I have…

I couldn’t help but note that there was something decidedly fishy about today’s piece.
Day 331: Herbie Tunic
Today’s dress has loads of potential for coolness. 🙂 Coolness would be really appreciated today, as temps have climbed into the 90’s. Now, the heat isn’t such a terrible thing as there are such things as Air Conditioning and Cold Beer…unless you’re stuck in an empty restaurant parking lot with a dead car battery for a couple of hours. :/ By the time I got home, I only had a few minutes to do today’s refashion and still get to…
