Ya'll remember this ugly get-up...right??
Well I did a bit of trimmin' and hemmin' to bring this skirt into the 21st century! I mean it wasn't all bad, I was initially drawn to the pattern because it reminded me of an anthroplogie skirt. All this skirt really needed was a few inches taken off, a little love, and wahlah!! So much better right??
Shirt-NY&Co.~thrifted $2
Skirt-Norton Mcnaughton~thrifted $.99
Shoes-Bandolino~thrifted $.99
Belt-thrifted $1
Necklace-Target~gift
Clutch-Vintage(from hubby's grandma)
I had fun putting this outfit together. I think because this outfit cost me $5 total...yea that's right total= FIVE DOLLA....HOLLA! Also because I rarely wear red lipstick and it kinda made me feel like I was a kid again playing in my grandmother's lipstick drawer. This is my first time wearing the button up collar trend , and I must say I'm falling in love with it!
I'm on spring break right now so I am loving that I can spend more time on my blog (which has been neglected due to a 15 unit school semester, I know I'm cray cray) sharing my thrifted finds and re-fashions. I wanted to start sharing more of my re-fashions on here because that's pretty much how I roll these days. I'm super poor but I love clothes and fashion, so I get my fix through scouring goodwill outlet bins and using my sewing machine to stay on trend without breaking our piggy bank. Plus it's funner that way, dontcha think?

Thank you for your sweet comment Ginny! I love your re-do on that lovely floral blouse! I was getting a little fidgety, but i just never wear my collared shirts buttoned up that high so I think it just takes some getting used to;) Following you as well,and looking foward to getting to know you too!
