Vintage Denim Bib Overalls
I thought I was done with overalls after the black ASOS pair but these Liberty ones spoke to my vintage denim loving heart. I don't feel like I'm heading to Gymboree in this one. They have a close fit but it's not too tight. It shows off curves but in a casual and relaxed way.
Muumuu to Maxi Dress Refashion
You definitely should not make a habit of buying thrift store clothes that don't fit properly. Since I sell a lot of what I find, I don't try things on in the store anymore. I picked up a vintage muumuu dress in Palm Springs not knowing if it fit or not because it's fish fabric. You ca…

How to Upsize A Shirt Dress
I bought a shirt dress on Poshmark that was exactly the style that I turn to in summer. It's long. It's cotton. It's easy to throw on. Plus, it has pockets. The measurements seemed about right in the description so I took a chance on it. The chest and back area turned out to be too ti…

Too Old for Bib Overalls
One of the great things about thrifting is that you can feel good about experimenting with styles and trends that you normally would not try. For me that is overalls. I love a jumpsuit but I've never owned a pair of bib overalls.

All the way back in 2012, I thrifted a vintage Egon von Furstenberg jumpsuit. He was the husband of Diane -- creator of the ultra flattering wrap dress. Egon was known as the Prince of High Fashion. This piece is one of those 80s polyester jumpsuit that were likely a dime a dozen back then. I woul…

Vintage Fringe Dress
I thrift for vintage dress finds like this one. It was a big jumbled mess on the hanger but it had so much vibrant color that I had to take a closer look. It didn't have hanger appeal but I knew that fringe was special. I added it to my keep pile and rolled home with it.

DIY Ankara Button Earrings
Since cutting my hair, I have a new love of circle earrings. The ankara fabric gives a nice pop of color. I have small ones and large ones but I've found the medium size to be just right for my ears. Button covers make these earrings easy and very quick to make.
Vintage Levi's From the Boys Rack
Levi's jeans are a classic. Over the thrift years, I've found that the vintage ones tend to fit a straighter less curvaceous body type. Which I am not. I have to go up at least two to get them over the hips. Then there's a huge gap at the waist. While checking the boys section for misp…
