Last week I found these super cool dirt bike pants at Family Thrift Outlet for $2 and I wanted something equally cool to wear with them. I had this houndstooth blazer that I was going to list on Depop ages ago and I put them together and thought they made such an awesome mix. So, I used the dirt bike pants as the inspiration for this blazer bustier concoction of awesomeness! This is a slightly more advanced tutorial, but it's definitely worth the watch. I hope to inspire you to try something new. It's funny what we can accomplish when we throw fear aside.
This week we are turning these track pants into a tube dress. So you
might be wondering why we would do this since track pants are so
popular right now. Well,
the answer is simple: because
we can. I like
athletic clothing and mixing it up with other pieces, but I
love athletic inspired clothing and this seemed like the natural next
step. And with this dress, I love how you can dress it up or down so easily. No matter what you wear with it, you're going to make a statement!

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!
