What I Wore in Paris // Day 3

Bonjour et Au revoir!

Last post of our Paris trip. This dress was actually 3 sizes to big and kind of weird...but I saw potential.

On our last day, after a quick trip to the Eiffel Tower one last time we spent most of the day in the Louvre! We of course went to see the Mona Lisa....and then looked the Egyptian and Mesopotamia exhibition. We saw so much...yet so little from the Louvre.

Another special event was that I got to meet a blogging friend! We started emailing 3 years ago and finally we got to meet! 

Have you ever met anyone because of blogging? Marie was the second person for me!

Refashion: Making a Too Big Sweater Fit

I personally don't really ever BUY myself anything new....but I do get things at the exchange store semi regular....there I found awesome things that sometimes are just too big. This sweater was a weird length and 2 sizes to big...so what did I do make it fit like this?

Love the fit now....and it's already a favorite.

Refashion: Sewing a Lace Collar

I had a lace collar on this particular shirt....I really liked wearing it but the material of the shirt was dingy. So I decided to remove the lace and sew it on another simple white shirt I had. 

My new found color combination I am loving is coral with brown and white... What do you think?

This is what it was before. ...

To see how I did it visit "The Blue Birdhouse".

Before you head over there....what is your favorite color combination?

Refashioned Turtleneck to Ruffleneck

I think these are some fun fall colors. I am really liking this chocolate brown skirt and I know you'll be seeing it quite often in future posts.

 The shirt I got a REALLY long time ago. I decided to do things a pit different and tuck in the shirt and use one of my colorful new scarf as a belt. 

Is that something you would do?

I refashioned the shirt from a short sleeve turtleneck. I hadn't worn it in a long time but now.... things just might change. You can see the tutorial on {The Blue Birdhouse}

Rose Stripes

Yesterday you saw how I fixed this cute top to fit better.....now I can tell you....this is my most comfortable summer outfit I like to wear on a hot day at home. It's super cute & super comfy. 

Do you have that ONE outfit you just love to wear in the summer?

How to give Your Sunglasses a Facelift

Lately, when summer first started, I saw all these cool looking colorful sunglasses....and really wanted one. But I already had two at home and really didn't want to spend $10+ more for a new pair....I am cheap. One of my sunglasses I found at a thrift store for a $1 and the other I was gifted and had only cost $5.

So what did I do? I took my least favorite pair of glasses, got out my new minty nail polish and started painting.

You like??

You can have any color you want!! Nail polish colors are the limit. ☺ And id you want you could take the color off and paint it new anytime you want!

Who is looking for a pair of glasses now to go do this?
