Upcycled Dress Save – Refashion

Hello from soggy Colorado, Our state has been getting a lot of rain here for the last couple of weeks. I am doing my best to appreciate the upside of getting all this moisture. For example, I do not need to water my plants or my grass very much. Everything is very green during this time of year. Colorado is a pretty dry state so we need all the rain and snow that we can get. But still, I am eagerly awaiting the sunshine. We are pretty spoiled in this state as far as sunshine goes. There are mostly sunny days. But maybe that makes us or me anyway more prone to miss the sun when it is gone. However, sunny days are just around the corner. Soon I will be lamenting my wilting and thirsty foliage because, even though I like to think of myself as a “glass-half-full-person.” I do still notice the empty half, way too often. Anyhow, with all this rain, a lot of the outdoor projects have been suspended. This has given me some time to evaluate my closet. Unfortunately, my wardrobe isn’t what anyone would consider fashionable. See what I mean there is that “glass-half-empty” attitude showing. But on the “glass-half-full side,” there is plenty of opportunity for improvement. 🙂 So Let’s Begin For today’s project I selected a knit dress. It is sort of floppy and sloppy and really comfortable.

DIY Off-the-Shoulder Top

My mission in life is to design and make no-sew outfits, and in this tutorial, I’m going to show you how to make an off-the-shoulder top without sewing.I want to start by telling you a little bit about the fabric that we’re using to make the top - scuba fabric.

It is also a stretchy fabric which means that it will be really easy to wear.

White Pants You’ll Want to Grab!

I have searched, and bought and returned and stalked influencers to find the perfectpair of white pants. I did not want skinny white jeans as I have those already, but I wanted a wide leg and high waist. Finally, I settled on these, Wild Fable brand, from Target and I absolutely love them. They can be styled with tanks, blouses, tees, and even cute chunky sweaters in the fall. The hole placement can be a little odd for some, but for me it was fine. I actually purchased 2 pair. I cut about 2.5 inches off of one pair to give them more of a cropped look and left the others their regular length. For reference I’m 5’3.
