Birthday weekend!!!!!

Happy 45th birthday to me!!

As my 45th birthday approaches it makes me think of how truly blessed I am. I have accomplished a lot and there is still more to come.

I like the woman I have become,

And I am proud of all of things I have done and the experiences I have has thus far

Because I know some people who didn't make it to 45

So for God to wake me up, for that alone I am thankful.

I have finally found my passion of teaching, sewing and thrifting, that I am grateful.

So this outfit is gifted and Thrifted.

Jacket, belt and suede black loafers-Thrifted.

Lucky jeans, polo button up- gifted.

This girls loves birthdays!!!!!

Remember "It ain't what you wear, it's how you wear it"

DIY MAXI DRESS

The Here I go again!!!! The Maxi dress

This dress is my go-to project when I want to sew something sexy, hip, cute and quick. Extending the side seam out so it would maxi near the bottom. I used this pattern and a gray jersey knit bedsheet I got at the thrift store.

As you can see the entire project was only a couple dollars (the material and pattern). It was well worth it. Thrifting make me happy!!!

The jacket was gifted. The left over material became a head wrap.

Shoes were Thrifted also from Chicago, Sturant Weismann may I add $35.

Remember "It ain't what you wear, it's how you wear it"

DIY TUNIC TOP/DRESS

This garment has made me so happy!!!!

I made this hell-la-va top/dress. I got the idea from this Pinterest pic.

Now with that said, I give two thumbs up for this lady, cause she is wearing this tunic. Go head Girl!!!!!!!!!

Now here is my take on that picture. I used this pattern to cut and sew, using left over black jersey knit and egg plant color leather from another projects.

Now, after I cut the pattern out while extending the length to maxi near the bottom, I went back and cut a piece of left over egg plant leather to memic the top of this top/dress.

I sewed the leather to the front top of dress and then sewed the rest of the dress together. I added the zipper just because that is my thang lately. And it allows me to wear this as a dress or top.

This was not hard, actually it was exciting to make because I started with a good idea but my endresult was better than what I had expected. Yeah Me!!!!

I styled this goody with a Thrifted crop denim jacket and Capri Jean, yard sale stud leather booties and silver jewelry.
