I am starting a project! It is called the Thrift Store Project. Here's how it works: I'm trying to save money, so this entire summer I am only letting myself buy clothes from thrift stores. This will not only be cheaper but it will force me to sew more because they will obviously need to be refashioned!
**note: I'm also allowed to buy fabric because that's technically not clothing :)
Last week I spotted this little number at DI:
Precious, right? I decided it would make an ADORABLE maxi skirt. I cut off the top of the dress, then added elastic for the waistband :) It was that simple! Here is the result:
Now lets compare it to the only skirt from a store I could find that looked similar:
Jean Paul Gaultier $341
How much did I save? $333 :)
Cheers to a summer of lots of saving and sewing!
