HAND-ME-DOWNS DON’T HAVE TO BE A DOWNER.
You can make everything new & fresh with a little creativity.
Do you have a skirt that’s just a little too long? Cut it to make shorter & more current.
Dip, paint, splatter.
Cut, rip, shred.
THE ONE RULE WE LIVE BY YOU ASK?
Just try it, you might be surprised what you come up with.
FOUND THIS SCOTCH & SODA BUTTON DOWN AT A THRIFT STORE THAT WE DIPPED IN BLEACH. TOTAL LOOK $4.20
THIS DRESS WAS ALREADY SO CUTE, SO WE JUST LAYERED A WOVEN OVER IT THAT WE CUT AND SHREDDED AT THE BOTTOM. (WHITE BUTTON DOWN HAND ME DOWN FROM MOM’S CLOSET!) TOTAL LOOK $4.70
WE USED SAFETY PINS AS CLOSURES INSTEAD OF BUTTONS ON A MENS DRESS SHIRT & MADE IT FITTED AT THE WAIST. AND WHO DOESN’T LOVE AN OMG BECKY T? WE CUT OFF THE BOTTOM AT AN ANGLE AND USED IT AS A LAYERING PIECE. AND A SKIRT THAT WE CUT SHORTER & TURNED IT INSIDE OUT MADE THIS LOOK PERFECT. TOTAL LOOK $8.10
