Vintage and Thrift: DIY From Thrifted Dress to Tunic Top

Can you believe I made this top in ten minutes.  This is the quickest DIY project. It's simple. Choose a dress and cut away! No sewing involved. Just cut the sides and make sure all the edges are cleanly cut.  I purchased this dress at a Goodwill Powder $3.95. It's been sitting in my closet for over a year.  I love the pattern but the dress was too tight around the hips.  My sister in thrift, Troy of The Thriftanista In The City gave me this DIY idea to cut the sides of the dress and wear it as a cute top.  

Vintage and Thrift: Stuart Weitzman Oxford Booties

I believe in speaking into existence.   Just two months ago I was telling myself I have tons of clothes but want to focus on finding shoes.  I've been keeping my eye on the prize when thrifting... Shoesss! The cool temperatures had my heart set on a pair of oxford booties. I went to Goodwill Perimeter and found these designer Stuart Weitzman oxford booties. 

 

They are not vintage but they are a pair of thrifted/pre-owned beauties.  I  did some research on these beauties.  Stuart Weitzman debuted these  at Nordstorm stores three years ago for $295.00.  I totally scored.  These are in excellent condition and only costs me $5.98.   

This similar pair are on Etsy for $100.00

2013 Thrifted Favorites

One amazing thing about entering a new year, is that chance of having another opportunity to get it right.  Each day we breathe is a gift. I make sure to enjoy that gift. I surely enjoyed this year with my family and friends.  The continuing support is what keeps me going.  I've met some phenomenal women this year.  They've inspired me in so many ways. I'm always told life is about being inspired and inspiring others. I'm in agreement with that. 2013 I was inspired to bring my thrifty fashion to my blog.  Thrifting is so much fun and creative and can I say money saver! You don't have to break the bank to look and feel fabulous. "Look Fly on a Dime"  Check out some of my favorite thrifted finds this year.
