I recently went thrifting and found amazing pieces for the spring and summer.  One of the things that I found was this green mesh top for $2 at Family Thrift Outlet.  I was super excited because I have been looking for one, but I couldn't decide what to wear underneath.  A lot of girls wear  pretty bralettes or sports bras, but after having three kids my abs haven't quite bounced back yet.  LOL! (I never had abs.)  Anyway, I wanted something graphic that would peek through the mesh top, so I went looking for a cool sports tank top and couldn't find any with large graphics.  So, I found this Adidas t-shirt for $6.50 at my local thrift store and turned it into a tank top.  This project literally took me maybe 20 minutes including recording time and I absolutely love how it turned out.  This is spring/summer layering at it's best!

Raid the men's section of your local thrift store or your man's closet and get ready to make the easiest dress ever!!!

I first showed this dress in a thrift haul and it was highly requested that I do a tutorial on how to make a hoodie dress.  This is so simple that I actually feel silly for posting it, but I hope it's helpful.  I use this tutorial a lot for any thick oversized men's tops, like a hoodie, jacket, sweatshirt, or sweater (jumper).  They just make the best laid back mini dresses ever and they pair so well with sneakers (trainers).

I'm back with another thrifted transformation!  I thrifted this skirt last summer for less than 10 cents and just hadn't fixed it.  I'm so glad I finally did because it's perfect for spring and summer.

I'm back with the outcome of last week's thrifted transformation!  I already knew that I wanted to really distress the denim jacket a lot, but at the last minute I decided to add the custom DIY patches on the back.  And I just can't get enough of the athleisure trend so the side striped pants were a must.  And I think these both qualify as fashion hacks everyone should know!

The blessing of long legs can often feel like a curse when you're shopping for pants.  Jeans that are too short is so common for me that I had really just learned to accept it.  But not anymore!  I finally figured out a way to lengthen my pants in a really cool and trendy way.  I thrifted these high waisted Gloria Vanderbilt jeans in my last haul for 10 cents.  And the tutorial for this transformation is actually really simple.  Don't be surprised if half my jeans end up like this, because about half my jeans are currently too short.  LOL!
