Love is in the air and boy do I have a love story to share! This retro long sleeve button down maxi dress was certainly not love at first sight. Funny thing is, I almost passed on it! I remember picking it off the rack in disbelief like, “Who the heck would wear such a…

Metallic Skirt turned Culotte Refashion
What perfect way to end the year than to break out the shinies?! Predictable yes, but when I peeped this once metallic skirt online, I knew I had to have it! I got it at a great price too since it was damaged. I’ve wanted to brave the culotte aka the wanna-be trouser/skirt that everyone…
Vintage Criss-Cross Dress Refashion
I know I’ve been MIA lately but I’m still recovering from Thanksgiving (ugh). Nah, I’m kidding. I had to step away for a Christmas gig. Tis the season right? Speaking of holidays, here’s a festive vintage number I found online. When I got it, the seams were ripped open in areas and the construction was…
DIY Blazer Jacket turned Cape Refashion
I mentioned this diy cape in my last post as it being the perfect pairing for the pleated dress. You’ll see why in a minute, if you haven’t scrolled down already! Originally, I got this jacket because I was on the hunt for one to DIY a cape. I was instantly sold on the sophisticated look…
DIY Pleated Hem Lace Dress Vintage Refashion
In the spirit of fall, here is yet another find from the lot I picked up on my first trip to Savers thrift store. I was captivated by the whimsical elegance of the pleated hem and neck tie. Once I managed to look past the odd pairing (the lace, that is). I saw it’s true…
Vintage Dress turned Open Back Romper Refashion
I was iffy about this vintage dress when I first spotted it online. Didn’t take much convincing though, when I realized it was dirt cheap ($3) and was in a size 18, meaning lots to work with. Once I had it in my possession, it sorta grew on me as it looked better in person….
DIY Split Sleeve Draped Dress Vintage Refashion
Every time I looked at the once dated vintage chiffon dress with it’s ruffled bib cowl collar, I wondered, “How exactly was this worn?” For such a modest look, I would’ve loved to see how it was styled. Obviously it was paired with some form of underlay as it’s see-through. What really caught my eye…
DIY Vintage Pleated Dress Refashioned into 5-in-1 Outfit
How neat are the pleats on this vintage number! You would think with such an elaborate print it wouldn’t work but surprisingly it does. Speaking of the print, it is exquisite! To be honest, I wasn’t entirely sure how I wanted to refashion this vintage dress. The pleats were a keeper that’s for sure. The…
DIY Vintage Black Floral Lace-up Dress Refashion
This vintage number was from a lot I got on my first trip to Savers thrift store. I couldn’t get past the big and bold flowers printed along the end of the sleeves and hem. As soon as I picked it off the rack, I started mentally putting looks together and thought of the perfect…
Maxi Dress Upcycle into Reversible 2 Piece Outfit
I picked up this maxi dress a while back even though I wasn’t a big fan of the shirring (i.e. rows of gathers using elasticized threads) along the bust. What sold me on getting it was the print. Isn’t it funny how a print can greatly influence a purchase?! Anyways, the more I wore it,…
