I thrifted this amazing pink blazer this week because I am really trying to incorporate more vibrant colors in my wardrobe this spring.  I knew that I had the perfect red vintage cropped pants to go with the blazer, but not the perfect t-shirt.  I proceeded to go through the t-shirts at my local thrift store, but I knew I wasn't going to find exactly what I wanted; so that meant I would have to create it.  I knew I wanted a white t-shirt with something red on it, but WHAT??  Then, it occurred to me!  I would create an Easter related tee that really resonated with me.  After my husband passed away, I took great comfort in my faith that I will see him again and it's all because Jesus conquered death when he rose from the dead.  He's the Death Conqueror!  I tried a couple DIY graphic tee methods and I want to show you guys what worked and what didn't for me.  You'll find the graphics template below.

 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.

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!

 




Are you a YouTuber, Blogger, or Social Media Influencer?  Then this is the DIY for you!  I love to wear something that represents my brand, channel, or social platform when I'm about and about because every person I encounter could be a potential viewer or collaborator.  Try making your "Shameless Plug" tee and see what opportunities come your way!

One of my favorite things to refashion are men's button up tops!  They are a great starting point for so many things.  I have been seeing these amazing puffy sleeve tops everywhere and I absolutely love how my version turned out.  It was so easy to make using three men's dress shirts that I got at the thrift store for a total of $5.00.  This one is definitely worth a try!

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).
