Sneha's NDAD Creation

I've been wanting to stud a few projects and when I saw what Sneha submitted, I knew I found my next project!  I think you're going to fall in love with these.  Check out her project!

Well there are so many studded shoes, studded shirts, studs everywhere, so I wanted to take something from my closet and get it studded.  I actually ended up buying some studded shoes but in the wrong size and was really disappointed, so when I found these cute shoes at 2 for $25.00...

...I knew that these were what I wanted to stud.

I asked my younger sister for help and she was amazing.  

She basically finished the shoes all by herself.  

I really like how they look :)

I really like how they look too, Sneha!!  These are so on trend and look fantastic.  How long did it take your sister to finish them?  I'm due for another shoe remake myself, so thank you for inspiring me!!

Susie P's NDAD Creation

I always love a good "church lady" dress upcycle!  Susie sent one my way that turned out pretty darn lovely and oh, so perfect for summer!  Check out what she did...

I just happend upon your site and love it!  I have been redesigning vintage dresses for my daughter since she was in high school and still do it, even for profit now and then.  Unfortunately I do not have step by step photos of how I created the new design but I do have "before and afters".  This particular dress was a two piece, what I call a "church lady" dress, that I bought at Goodwill for about $5.99.

I loved the colors and the fabric was a silky polyester which draped beautifully.

How with Susie make this amazing??

As you can see by the finished design...

...it is not a "church lady" dress anymore!

This is such a fabulous remake!  I love halter dresses and this one turned out gorgeous!  Way to go SP!  Looking forward to seeing more of your pieces.

31 Days of Thrift: Day 13

It’s Day 13 of my 31 Days of Thrift and today is Sweater Thursday! DAY 13/31:

#23 – Black/white/silver sweater

I got a few looks from my friends who I went to Housing Works with about this piece, but I think I totally made it work!

I played around with more pattern on pattern action and paired this sweater with a vintage skirt in my collection.

The skirt worked in tying in the black and white from the sweater, but it also brought in some brown to mellow the bold, diamond pattern!  I used a brown belt to help break up some of the busyness as well!

Sweater: Vintage // Skirt: Vintage //Purse: Gryson for Target // Sunglasses: Urban Outfitters // Heels: BCBG // Belt: H&M // Bracelet: Vintage from eBay

I love how this turned out and I can't wait to re-wear it in a few months when it gets cooler...

...because I was sweating my face off wearing it in August!!

More looks to come...
