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.

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.

Everyone has gone to their wardrobes at least one time in their lives, only to find lots of clothes but nothing to wear. Ever wonder why does this happens? Besides not having a personal style (or perhaps you do), you haven’t build a functional wardrobe. Maybe you’ve been purchasing garments that you love, but haven’t planned it well. Just like with makeup, you need a foundation to achieve a neat beautiful look. In fashion, this would be the basics of your wardrobe. However, your basics won’t be the same as other people’s basics. Think of foundation in makeup, everyone has their own unique preferences & you will choose the one with your skin color. It’s the same with wardrobe basics.Owning a personal style is like the skin tone & the fit of these is like the texture of your foundation (dewy, matte, etc.). If you don’t know what your personal style is, I suggest you read our post, it will help you create a unique style that represents you.Once you have them, you can play around styling items like textured tops, printed skirts, statement jackets, things you own, and love. Trust me, your outfit options will feel infinite, making it easier to find something to wear. And of course, you can add accessories to make it look more like you.I recommend you to invest in high-quality basics, as they will be your most-used pieces. My favorite brand for great quality is Organic Basics. They are simply incredible, amazing quality, soft, long-lasting, and sustainable, what else could I ask for?Now, I’m going to show you what are the 6 must-haves everyone should have in their wardrobe. You will see mine, but yours may be different. Still, this will give you a clear idea of why are they so important.So, what are the essential pieces? 1. Plain White T-shirt. (Or any light color you prefer) A plain t-shirt is a must-have because it looks great with every pair of pants or bottom that you own. It gives you the versatility you need to create outfits with each item in your wardrobe. However, if you don’t like white clothing, you can opt for a light-colored t-shirt. Why? Well, having the option of color contrast always helps, as it adds more options to your wardrobe.
