Denver Goodwill Outlet World

A few days ago, I went to Denver because I discovered that it was home to a Goodwill Outlet World.

Faux Tooth Necklace DIY

Maybe this is a fang or a teeny tusk.  

Whatever exotic back story you have in your head, feel good knowing that no animals were harmed in the creation of this necklace because it was made from polymer clay.

How to Dress Warm AND Look Still look Decent in the Winter

Sunday night, I put together my outfits for the week and hang them on my bedroom door.

Geometric Hemisphere Earrings DIY

While wandering the craft store, these generic little upholstery nails caught my eye.  

Thrift Store Friday #52 ~ 3 Ways to Wear a Lace Pencil Skirt

In May, I wrote a tutorial that explained how to make curtains from the thrift store into a lovely lace pencil skirt.  Sooooo...lets just say that you ran out, bought some curtains from the Arc and made one.  

Now what?

Thrift Store Friday # 51 ~ 25 Outfits From 9 Pieces

Many things changed when I moved here to Colorado. One big change: no Goodwill Outlet Center. Very sad.  I have branched out and explored other thrift stores, so Good{will outlet} Friday will now be called Thrift Store Friday. So here's my first Thrift Store Friday post: 25 outfits made from 9 pieces.

Five Fun DIY Halloween Costumes

That is definitely me at parties.  If I could find/make an adult Sulley costume from Monsters Inc, I would absolutely wear it. I love dressing up in costumes.  Here are five DIY Halloween costumes from previous posts to inspire you.

Good{will outlet} Friday #50 ~ 20 Outfits from 10 Pieces (Inspired by Anthropologie)

Good{will outlet} Friday #49 ~ Aztec Print

Aztec patterns are popping up on just about everything for fall.

DIY Inspiration - Elastic Headband

In June, I posted a very easy headband tutorial (below) using fabric scraps and elastic.  My version was very basic with a tribal print design, but you could really do anything you want - the possibilities are endless!  Here is some DIY inspiration I found online.

Start with a basic fabric and elastic band, then sew on pretty patches or big fake flowers, or consider swapping out the fabric scrap for a band of lace or chain.

Comic-Con Super Shorts

In case you didn't already know (like if you happen to live under a rock), Comic-Con took place in San Diego this weekend.  Not only have I been roped into super hero conversations at work and bombarded by a flood of Marvel related Facebook posts, but even a hand full of stores - places that sell ladies clothing - are getting in on the action.

Good{will outlet} Friday #48 ~ Inspired by Sabo Skirt

I adore mint and lace, so when I found this gorgeous dress online at Sabo Skirt, I knew it must be mine.

Head Wrap (DIY)

Summer is pretty awesome, but you know what isn't so awesome?  Humidity.  That's right, and living here in The Mitten basically guarantees that I can expect Brillo pad hair from the first day of spring until Thanksgiving.  It can't be tamed.  Because I dislike children mistaking me for Ronald McDonald, I try to hide the frizz under hats, scarves, or whatever I can find.  This is why I love head wraps and why I'm going to show you how to make one today.  Even if you aren't at all good at sewing, you can make this: I promise.

The 4th of July is almost here - and what could be more American than a frayed denim sundress and strappy sandals?

Good{will outlet} Friday #46 ~ Inspired by Style Lately

I have been waiting a long time to show the world this maxi skirt.

Watercolor Mist Tank (DIY) ~ with Simply Spray Fabric Paint

Today was beach day.  Patrick and I vowed to spend the afternoon at the beach - rain or shine!  We didn't wake up to rain this morning...or shine.  Our morning started with a weather advisory text alerting us of 'Dense Fog Conditions.'   The drive was slow and the walk (between the parking lot and the water front is a half-mile hike through the woods) was misty.  I couldn't have planned for a better morning to take photos of this Watercolor Mist tank top!

Good{will outlet} Friday #45 ~ Inspired by Goodnight Macaroon

I love summer for a variety of reasons, but here is one of my favorites: skirts!

Good{will outlet} Friday #44 ~ One Item Worn Two Ways

Most of us don't have access to a wardrobe of infinite clothing, so we are left to find multiple ways to wear what we have.  Lots of other bloggers have been doing the One Item Worn Many Ways post (such as A Beautiful Mess, Putting Me Together, and What I Wore) so here I am hopping on the bandwagon!
