It's official, I'm halfway through the 30 for 30 Challenge! The withdrawal from shopping has been tough (especially since I work at a clothing store!) but each day I feel myself growing stronger. No, that's a lie. Each day, I think about how much closer I am to going shopping, and what I'm going to buy when I do. Also, I have a technicality question. I won a giveaway at Calivintage for a gift certificate to Tiger Cult Vintage, and Etsy store. Is it shopping if I spend the gift certificate? Or, is it like a present since it's not really spending money (not my money anyway)? I'm really excited about it, and of course I want to use it right away, but I've done such a good job with "the rules", and I don't want to fall off the wagon now. Thoughts?
Today, I decided to try the dress-as-skirt idea. Since the dress-as-top look worked out so well, I figured this challenge would be the perfect time to try this other manipulation of a dress. I just folded the top part of the dress under, tucked in my t-shirt, and covered the seam with a belt. I like it--it looks like I'm wearing a skirt and a top, which was what I was going for. What do you think? How do you make your clothes more versatile? I'd love to know.

ReplyDeleteYou made the dress look fab!
Love the belt!! Great pop of color!!
ReplyDeleteI am counting down the days till when I get to shop again too, and thinking of all the cute stuff I am going to buy. Not sure the 30 day ban was a good idea for me - I will probably spend more after it's over than I would've during it.
