Revamp Remodel Redesign

Well Fall time has come around again. It's Time To Revamp your wardrobe. Remodel rooms in the house, and Redesign anything that hints Summer or Spring Time. Basically Time To Shop. That's is all I hear! Right?! Time to buy scarves, hats, cool and funky pieces to layer up and look stylish. Okay yes I like to shop but I do not want do much shopping. I bought a few pieces like dresses, tights, sweaters, and boots. You know the usual for the season. Browns, oranges, and all the natural tones are my go to's around this time of year. Reminds in the changing colors of the leaves. My favorite so far the season is mustard yellow. Such a pretty color and it its so pretty against my skin.

I'm in the mood to change my site up a bit. So if you see some changes, let me know what you think.

Have a good one.

Upcycle: Ralph Lauren

Welcome back! I have been on a posting spree and I love it! I found this cute dress at the thrift store. yes I go to the thrift store, no shame in it. I've been taken, sometimes forced, to go to these store when I was a little girl. Back then I didn't want anyone to see me. Kids can be so cruel. Though I truly didn't mind it after I seen what cute clothes and toys I could buy and for cheap!
This dress here was "saved" from Value World. The plan was to find a few pieces and bring them back from death. Upcycle instead of Recycle. A term used frequently around the web meaning to revamp and bring a newer version.
The dress was a size four. I knew it would be too small for me but I was in love with the print. It's beautiful right?! The colors are so pretty :) Plus is Ralph Lauren. Not that I'm a huge label whore. But I knew that meant the fabric would be good quality. I went in looking for pieces that I would end up cutting and revamping so I must withstand torture. Bawhaha.

cute right?

chop chop

cut a piece of elastic the length of your waist, sew to raw edge, flip over, then sew around to hide elastic

no need to hem the bottom! done!

That's all. It was pretty easy. I will have to post pictures of how I styled it. I was thinking a V-neck black or pink top? Any other ideas? Do you like this? Would you like more? I was thinking of doing a Thrifty Thursday or something ;) How does that sound?

Thanks,

Sable

Better to Give AND Receive

Hello World!
Selfish title huh? Dont tell me you didn't ONCE think about it. We all want to receive as well as give. I'm not the type to ONLY give gifts if I know I'm getting something in return. Even though an even exchange would be nice. Am I Correct??? I digress.
I'm more so talking about buying gifts for yourself. I have been doing a lot of shopping online. And with every site I see things and say "o0o that would look nice on me" or "hey that would match perfect with my (insert item here)" And the list goes on. It made me think because I'm on Hot Topic right now and they're having a BOGO 50% off sale. I haven't been to HT in a nice min. Guess I've dropped my obsession with the "dark side" of fashion. But I seen some nice colored jeans and fell in love. They're purple. I said I will get me a nice pair soon. And these are right up my alley. I want them! And the sale is reeling me in. But I need to spend this money on loved ones (sad face). Lol. No seriously. Its okay to buy myself some nice things right? I mean, whats the fun in shopping if I can't get a few items for me???

I guess that's the true meaning of xmas right? (double sad face) I guess I will delete them from my cart then. Bye Bye Purple Loves. It was nice dreaming of items to pair you with. Maybe after xmas......
