I bought this dress at Khol's without trying it on. So when I did try it on, I realized exactly why it was on sale: the fit was awful. As you can see the bubble action going on above {the images make it look slightly more attractive than it really looked in person}. It was the perfect opportunity for me to rework it into a skirt. All I did was cut off the top and now I have a versatile piece to add into my wardrobe. And did I mention this piece was only $8.00!?

I am officially back to the blogging world, after a crazy couple of weeks at school! {Not sure how I made it through}. I am so excited for what I have in store for all of you. This repurpose project that I did above is the first amongst many others that I will share with you in the next couple weeks. I am basically revamping a good portion of my wardrobe to make what I already have more wearable. As I mentioned previously, I have been trying to spend frugally to save for my trip to New York. However, I do need to add some more bottoms to my wardrobe. So that is exactly what I am doing, without spending a thing! Yay! I am taking various items that sit in my closet and transforming them into pieces that fit better, work with current trends, and are more useful. Awesome, right? 

Well I hope everyone is having a great week. xo
Okay so for this DIY, you can be creative as you like making your necklace as customized as you like. All you do is take a necklace chain you already have, string through 2 different bobby pin sizes {more or less depending on the look you are going for}, create a pattern to your liking and you have a full on gorgeous statement necklace for $7.00!

Okay so I am pretty excited about this post. First off, I really like my new necklace I made out of bobby pins, yes I made a statement necklace out of bobby pins and it was only $7.00 {hell yes}!! I have basically been wearing it everyday. Yeah, I get obsessed with pieces that I like. Please tell me I am not the only one! Also, I just really like this outfit. Let me just throw it out there, but it is a comfortable outfit. I mean a loose shirt and a knit skirt pretty much scream comfort. But just because it an outfit is comfortable does not mean it needs to be frumpy. The accessories really help pull everything together. The waist belt adds a shape and the jewelry and heals add polish. This is my kind of outfit. {Hope everyone likes it as much as I do!}

Oh yes, and I hope everyone had a lovely weekend! xo


Okay so none of these pieces are from J Crew, but I'd say they sure look like it. Too bad, each piece is much much less in price. {My kind of style} I am seriously gushing over these ensembles. I want every single piece here! All three looks are perfect for a regular day, work, going out, a special occasion, you name it.

Hope you enjoy these as much as I do. xo
