169 Days to Go: $1 Remake
OK, this dress was totally $1. Part of the reason…it was worn during the first Thanksgiving. This screams Pilgrim and not the cool Scott Pilgrim varietal. We gots to fix this!!
Day 169 - Before
I love brown and the material was a super thin and light cotton, so I saw the potential. This piece is going to rule just by using the ‘remove the excess’ mantra. Way too frilly neck? Remove the excess. Overly covered sweater with patches? Remove the excess. In this case, white cuffs and a bib at the neck? Remove the excess.
178 Days to Go: $1 Remake
Today’s piece is a sheer, pastel-y one that could have worked splendidly a few weeks ago for Easter. (I feel like the springtime mix bag of M&M’s in pastel shades.) I have une douche de bébé to attend (I rewatched the Mad Men season premiere again while I was writing and couldn’t stop singing “Zou Bisou Bisou”. I’m totally in French mode.)
Day 178 - Before
This piece was completely too stuffy, so that collared neck is going to go!
Week 33: Anne-Marie’s NDAD Creation
I got this email from Anne-Marie in Ohio and the print is what grabbed my attention this week!! I’ve been in a sea of polka dots (I’m wrangling pieces for the book, and found a few!!)
January Jones Polka Dotting!!
…so I figured I’d share the wealth a bit!!
“I found this piece at a thrift store for $1.50 and loved the polka dots and the pockets. I was not a fan of the HUGE shoulder pads, buttons and fit.

Day 363. 2 days and $3 left to go.
OMG just two more days left!!! We won’t discuss that yet. Let’ s just talk about the dress.
Well hello 1982!! I know traditionally the day after Thanksgiving is known as Black Friday, but I wanted to turn that name on it’s head. There is nothing dark about this outfit today and I promise nobody waited outside in a line for days to get this.
Day 363 - Before
This dress is literally by the company, Climax, and I mean could it get any more Linda Evans from Dynasty?
Dynasty in the house!!
No, I don’t think it could as we’re literally in the same dress!! Big issue #1 was that mine had lots of these little discolorations on the arms and on the front of the dress.
Spot!!
We’re going a dye route today which should get us free and clear of these in no time!!
