Mini Thrift Haul

It's winter break and I'm back with a Thrift Haul!

This is my second one so far and I found some really cute clothing from the Salvation Armyy.

----------------------------------------------------------

The first item that I got is this super cute  pastel pink, mock neck, long sleeve shirt.

      

I've been wanting to get these to add to my wardrobe and finally got them!

Gonna get them in every color now. (;

Tennis Skirt: Dresslink

--------------------

The next item is this super comfy cropped sweater.

The color is so creamy and it makes me want to cuddle up and drink some tea.

It's also very easy to pair up with high-waisted anything! I absolutely love my high-waisted pants.

Necklace: Claire's

Skirt: ???? I found it a long time ago somewhere....

----------------------

The last item is this cute collar shirt.

 



Collar shirts that have a denim collars or a contrasting color attracts me.

I'm not one for floral but this is so prettyyyy so I just had to get it.

Hat: F21 

--------------------------

Hope you guys enjoyed it!

Also! I definitely recommend buying second hand clothing. Some items are still brand new and its cost efficient. I bought all of this for only $7!!! It's amazing! It's also very fun making up stories for each item you find ^^

DIY Velvet Turtleneck Crop Top

I'm finally back with a tutorial! It's been fall for a while, but finally feeling the fall weather so I decided to make this tutorial. Honestly, I love layering clothes on top of crop tops even in the coldd because it's so comfortable. But anyway! My first time making clothes with velvet.

I bought this 2x extra large velvet long skirt from the thrift store a while backkk, like a couple years agooo and finally got to use it today!

I started off by removing the hems on the back of the skirt so that I have three pieces but still connected to each other.

 

(sorry for the quality it was a bit too dark)

Then I cut the two sides off so that there's just the middle piece.

 

This is the middle piece. (I kept the two sides for later) I then trimmed the fabric so that it was even.

I also cut the fabric into halves so you have two pieces. One for the front and one for the back.

After trimming it, I folded in half and traced out the body piece. I'm not really showing everything in detail because there are a lot of tutorials that will show you how to cut the fabric.

I placed the fabric that is already cut out on top of the  second fabric and basically cut it accordingly to the first one except for making the second sleeves and neck part less curved. (it is going to be the back piece)

After doing so, I got two pieces. a front piece and a back piece. Then I moved on to the sleeves.

Using the fabric that I cut out earlier, I used a sleeve pattern and cut it out according and trimming it to fit my arm. I didn't take pictures of the rest because I just sewed everything together like a normal shirt. The velvet was just like a knit fabric so it wasn't hard to work with! I was scared to work with it because of all the scary stories but it turned out just fine!
For the turtle neck part, I just cut out a strip long enough to fit the neck part and folded it in half and sewed it on. Easy as that! Here is the finish product:

Transforming an Old Dress into a Trendy Two-Piece

DIY Two-Piece

 

I'm back with another transformation of old thrifted clothes that probably no one will wear as they are! This one is a dress that I will be changing into a two-piece. Again, I didn't record my process. I totally forgot because I was so into the moment. If you guys would like to see future transformations with the process, comment below or tell me through my Instagram or any other social media.
This was the easiest transformation I had done so far and I lovee the outcome!

So, this is the before of the dress:

As you can see, it's sort of an "old lady" style dress and waaayy old. So, I did my thing, and wah-lah!
Here is how it looks after! A trendy two-piece.

So all I really did was separate the top from the bottom and cropped the skirt up. After cropping the skirt, I adjusted it to fit my waist and then added elastic. For the top, I kept it the same, except I added a laced back to the back.

Dresslink Review

Dresslink Review

Dresslink was kind enough to give me $20 to spent on clothes that I wanted to review. I tried to pick out some clothes that you guys would want to buy or check to see if it's good quality. I bought three items I will review on today. 

So first, let's talk about shipping. I got my package paid on July 23, 2015 and shipped out on the 28th. It arrived on Aug. 11. It took three business days to process and ten days to ship out, which I think is pretty fast. The items came in a bag package and not a box package, but I didn't have any breakables so it was fine. The package looks like this:

It was nice that the clothes came individually packaged. 

1- "Plants are Friends" Tee 

I did fold the t-shirt in the picture above, but the graphic on there is actually good quality. One thing that surprised me was how the t-shirt was designed. I bought it thinking was going to be loose-fitting and jersey material, but it came in small and scratchy material. Plus, it does not look like the picture on the website. I think it's still a pretty good tee, I don't like wearing tight fitting clothes though, so that's the only reason why I don't really like it.

Other then the snug fit, scratchy material and the fact that it did not look like the picture on the site, it's a pretty good t-shirt if you don't compare it to the picture.

I got this shirt in a one-size and it's pretty snug on me. I wouldn't recommend getting it if you are a size M or larger.
Price: $3.10
Size: one-size
--You can check the original tee out on the site here.


2- Halter Top
On it, it says, "You are my sun, my moon, and all my stars"

The material is very stretchy. In fact, I think it might be tooooo stretchy. Once it stretches, it stays stretched and it sucks because it'll be all loose on you. However, I do think this was one of the best items out of the three that I got.
I like this piece a lot, but I would get a size small next time I buy a stretchy halter from Dresslink. If you are a s/m or a m I would suggest a small. I had my sister (who is a size M) try it and it fits loose too. However, if you have a larger chest but is a s/m, I would suggest M because there won't be enough chest coverage.
Price: $3.91
Size: Medium
If you want one, feel free to order yourself one here.

3- Tennis Skirt

There were a few loose threads, but nothing that would tear the skirt apart. Again, (I think this is for all the buttons from Dresslink( but the button was loose. You can see from the picture that it was only looped through two hole and not all four. So I would probably go in a sew that in tighter.
When I got it, it was in good condition and everything. The zipper worked and the button was on it, but when I wore it, the zipper broke. My hip bones were too big. ): But I can easily replace the zipper, so that's no problem. I am kind of disappointed that it broke, but if you sew, it'll be an easy replace.
Honestly, this is a good dupe for the AA tennis skirts--minus the broken zipper.

The length is perfect and it's not see-through.
You can see that the zipper broke on the left, but I'll just replace it.
It was kind of tight around the waist, but not uncomfortable tight.
I would recommend a M if you are a s/m If you are a small, just go with a  small.
Size: S
Price: $5.99
