yep, thats right...I'm wearing head to toe refashions!


I went all out today...little did I know....and wore all refashions/fixed items. I turned my baggy oversized AE cords from high school into some Jcrew-esc skinnies by using this video tutorial. LOVE them to pieces. I paired them with my refashioned floral cardi with ruched sleeves and anthropologie button up. Now the problem with the anthropologie top was..I was BUSTING out of it...in the chest region. So...my trick was to sew to the left of the buttons, aligning the fronts together perfectly. I started sewing from the second button and ended at the fourth. I will have to slip it on, but it creates a nice flat front.

Beck was hilarious though...spaghetti covered and so desperately trying to take his diaper off. And yes, he actually was successful...TWICE.
