Let's Upcycle!

I finally did it. I finally joined the upcycle bandwagon.

I bought this (hideous) dress at Goodwill for $4 last week. It was part of our girls' night. We went to Goodwill and found ungly dresses with upcycling potential.

I really liked the pattern at the bottom, so I wanted to incorporate it a lot in the new design.

I also wanted to do an open-backed dress, inspired by this instagram post by @oliviaeggroll.

Plus I love bows. I mean, really, they're just adorable. Anyways, here is the finished product! I'm pretty proud of it, considering this is my first ever upcycle.

Hopefully there will be more to come! I did, after all, buy four dresses at Goodwill...

Happy upcycling!

Striped Nails

Check out this striped mani!

I painted my nails with the blue yesterday. {Sidenote: Wet n' Wild nail polish is currently BOGO 50% off at Walgreens, and it's only $1.99 anyways.} Then I taped them and painted with silver today.

If you're doing the taping manis, make sure you let the polish dry completely before you peel off the tape. Even fast dry polish will peel off if you take off the tape too soon.

Happy crafting!

Let's Get Tan!

before...

Ever have those days where you want to lay in the sun, but you don't want to put on a swim suit? Just twist a tank top! (:

Mid-twist

after

All you have to do is take the tank off one shoulder and twist it. There's no sewing, no pinning, and if you hate it, just un-twist it!

Happy tanning!
