30 Minute ViNTaGe Revamp

Here is the Scoop.  Money's tight all around.  I have been in a bit of a fashion funk.  I really have no reason to dress up...ever.  Most days I'm working in the yard with sweat shorts and a tank top.  If I leave the house, I'll wear jean shorts and a nicer tank top.  Boring!

I felt I needed a little spruce up to fit my lifestyle.  I gave myself a little 30 minute fashion makeover.

I bought this cute little house dress off of Ebay.  I love vintage house dresses.  This one is in great shape and is handmade.  It just needed a little work to make it look lovely. 

I shortened the dress a few inches.   I folded the fabric and pressed the new hem as I went along.  I didn't even use pins.   Once it was pressed, I machine sewed in place.  Super quick...the entire process was less than 30 minutes.  That includes cleanup!

I put on a fun summer hat and some of my pretty cuff bracelets and I'm good to go!

(PS For those of you following my shed remodel, you are getting a peek at my color scheme.  Done soon...I Promise!)

 The top bracelet it one I made.  The bottom bracelet is antique American Indian Pawn from around the 1940's I think.

  I'm soooo retro and funky for my trip to the K mart! :-)

Sometimes its the simple things that make me happy!

I hope my little dress makeover inspires you to take a few minutes out of your day for a project that makes you feel good.
