Refashion-ista!

I love to refashion! I originally stumbled upon blogs and the world of blogging through looking around on the internet into refashioning clothing. It's a great way to save money and go green! I thought I would share some of the refashions that I have done! 

This started off as .49 shirt i got from Salvation Army! It still had the tags on it! 

Our Salvation Army has a sale every Saturday and from 5-8pm the color of the week is .49!

This hoodie also came from Salvation Army! My sister bought this for me and it was a Medium so it was a bit too big on me so I took in the sleeves and the sides and it was a perfect fit! The ruffles were from a white shirt that I cut up!

I made this skirt from a man's shirt! I bought the shirt from goodwill. 

This isn't a refashion but thought I would share it anyways :) This was my first pattern. ever. (besides the ones we used in home-ec in middle school) I got it from Joann's during one of their .99 sale! The fabric was purchased from Walmart for 1.00/yard! My mom purchased this fabric awhile back and it's just been sitting in a closet. I used it since it was my first pattern and not that big of a loss if it didn't turn out.

I made this belt using leftover material from my skirt, some ribbon I had on hand and some 1.5 inch wide elastic. Super easy to make! 

Hope you enjoyed my refashions!

I think this will be my next re-fashion! I have just the shirt!

Anthro is my love.

Someone should host a shopping spree giveaway to Anthro.

They would be my best friend.

My up-do for the night!

aI am/was pretty much in love with my hair tonight. It's my fave style yet for my hair.

To me, it's so classy, elegant and simply gorgeous! 

This is a side view, pretty much all pin curls. 

This is the front view. Yes, I took these in my car. I was waiting for people and wanted to get pictures before the night was over so I whipped out my laptop and took them using photobooth. :) lol. 

This is the back view, it was all pulled over to one side. I've been wanting to do hair for prom, weddings, etc. 

And YES, I do have very long hair. I'm proud to say it's never been cut, dyed, etc. I'm a pretty natural girl :) 

SUMMER!

I don't know about you, but summer is my FAVORITE time of the year. I've lived in Michigan my whole life and after the first week of snow, I'm sick of the cold, dampness, cleaning off my car, and of course - NO sunshine. C'mon now. It makes for a depressing time. :) Everything seems so cheery in the summer! The other day I was outside and I have this bush or whatever you want to call it outside my bedroom window and I had to take a picture of it. This is one of the reasons I love summer! 

Gorgeous! :) Of course, the dogs love the summer too! Paris loves to dig holes, dig holes, and dig some more holes! We got a new puppy recently too. Isn't she the cutest thing ever? 

Everyone, meet Maggie. :) She's the sweetest thing EVER! 
What's your favorite thing about summer?
