Lovely lilac and lavender rank high among my fave colours. Unfortunately I rarely find those happy hues while thrifting. Fortunately when I do manage to spy a perfectly purple garment it’s usually vintage and easily refashioned into something just my style!
Grab the quick video tutorials behind the quirky vintage frock & upcycled bangles I’m sporting on this Pretty in Purple for #ThriftyThursday, join the Gone Thrifting group and vote for the upcoming themes too!
Sunglasses (thrifted) $0.50 – Vintage Dress (inherited & refashioned) $0 – Bracelets (upcycled) $0 – Vintage Sandals (had for years)
Total outfit cost: $0.50
After you transform that dowdy vintage dress go ahead and upcycle your hoard of scraps into some fab new bracelets, necklaces and earrings!
As I’m a one-woman-show and single handedly tackle and create every single part of my Confessions of a Refashionista empire the behind the scenes can be a wee bit stressful (& insane) at times, thankfully I always have loads of bloopers and outtakes to keep me laughing at myself for years to come!
Tripod + camera timer = tons of wacky not-ready pics!
Snag some thrifty inspiration (+ join up & share your love of second hand) over on my Gone Thrifting facebook group!
