Los Angeles has some of the best thrifting I have ever experienced. Even in the sketch part of town there was good thrifting. It was a good reminder for me to not judge a thrift store by what it looks like on the outside.
{DIY} Easy Four Seam Summer Caftan
Caftans are the perfect cover up at the beach. They're also super cozy as loungewear or a casual maxi dress. I thank Ms. Roper on Three's Company for the trend. It seems to have made a resurgence lately. I'm seeing them everywhere or maybe I'm just looking for them everywhere.

DIY Fringe Crop Top
There are so many t-shirts in the land. Sometimes we buy them. Sometimes we get them free. Somehow we end up with a stash of huge shapeless ones that don't fit very well. If you have a few laying around, refashion them into a trendy new fringe crop top this summer.

In my big ol' stash of sewing things, I found a button cover tool. Rediscovering the kit, led me to make button earrings with scrap african fabric. I was so impressed by my ankara top button that I wanted to make more. Making earrings was just the diy to ensure I wasn't making in vain.

{Thrift Haul} $20 for Joe's Jeans, Anthro, Vintage and More
I rarely go to 50% off days at thrift stores anymore. The crowds are not worth the hassle. On Memorial Day, I threw caution to the win and decided to check out the sale at Park Ave Thrift. Not only did I score some major finds but the store wasn't super crowded either! My total price was $22 a…
