I found this dress at the goodwill outlets and googled the description and found that this dress is a vintage crocheted Mexican wedding dress. I love the detail on this dress but would love to turn this into a summer sundress. I am not sure if I should attempt cutting this up or not. What do you think?

I came across a huge box full of patterns at the thrift store the other day and found these beautiful patterns. I am not sure the age but I would think 50's and 60's. They are in a larger size but with a little adjustment I would be able to make them work for me.

If you know me, you know that I love elephants. It makes more sense if you know that I spent 3 years in Africa and a favorite past time was visiting Kruger National Park. Elephants are amazing, majestic animals and the fact that they can make cars move out of their way, just because, well I admire that.

We have gone back and forth on the whole dress ordeal for my daughter and I just felt I didn't have the knowledge or time to put into a dress like she wanted. So a few weeks back we found a used one and we were excited about it, but it needed some work, even though my daughter liked it, it wasn't what she really wanted. We had looked for a vintage dress and never found one that suited her, until this past weekend. We were at the coast for a few days and a friend had told me about this cute vintage shop down there. When we finally found the shop and made our way into the store the first thing to catch our eye was this mint green vintage 50's dress. It was so cute. I expected it to be a few hundred dollars but to our surprise it was only $50. We looked around the shop a bit and we kept being drawn back to the dress, so my daughter finally said, "Im going to try it on". And it fit perfectly! She walked out of the store with her new prom dress!

I was inspired by some pieces of jewelry I saw on Anthropologie and started pulling out all my lace, silk, and vintage crocheted thrift finds and just started playing around with how they would look with different things on them and I came up with this necklace. I quite like it!

I love the chiffon flowers you see all over the place, on headbands, hair clips, necklaces, and as brooches. I found a couple soft vintage shirts at the goodwill and have enjoyed cutting them apart for these cute flowers.

I found this old silk tank top and I had big plans for it to be cut up, being that its silk, I figured I would use it for more flowers but instead I decided to add something fun to it and I am hoping to add more. I got the idea from an old Anthropologie catalog – the Snowscape Tank.

Shirt + Dress = One of a Kind Shirt

Do you have a dress that doesn't fit? Do you have a shirt that's too big? Wait – before you throw them out, see if you can't add some part of them to a tee. This is the best part of recycling, when you can incorporate something old into something you already have, making something totally new to you!
