Fashion

So I have just discovered this whole outfit of the day craze and while I think some of the blogs are a little much I've found a few I am a bit obsessed with. I guess a lot of them aren't really the outfit of the day but thrifty fashion. This has all happened in that past week so I'm sure there is lot's more to be discovered, which could be a little scary. Do you ever feel like there is so much at our fingertips with the internet/google/blogs etc... that's it's almost too much. I guess if you're the type of person that can just look at one neat blog and be done then you probably don't have this problem but I find one I like and just keep going on this crazy adventure looking at all their links and all the next blogs links and so on. Any way after looking at a number of fashion style blogs I really became excited to go through my closet and refashion as they call it some of my clothes. I already found quite a few new ways just to wear things that I wouldn't have usually even thought of. It sparked something in me I guess, I've always loved clothes not been real big on "fashion". I like to think I'm fashionable but I really don't know much about it and haven't really felt like I dress that cute since having babies, but reading a lot of these blogs has given me hope that I can make some super cute outfits out of what I already have and things I can find for cheap. So I need to take up sewing and I hopefully I'll find a great hobby that I really enjoy that's also saving me money. I'll be sure to post a pics when I really do refashion something and for those of you that hate the outfit of the day blogs don't hate me if I post a pic or two of me in a refashioned outfit. So here's a few of the blogs I'm loving:

Oh and I'm so doing this, it'll probably be my first project!

I totally agree with you!! I get on a kick sometimes looking at new blogs, whether they are fashion related or DIY. I could spend forever doing it. I think the fashion blogs are SO wonderful because they make me want to try harder and work with the clothes/body that I have!!

Hey thanks for the shout out!!

Refashioning is SO much fun, because it's like getting new clothes, but without the buyer's remorse. Enjoy your refashioning!

I love this! And I totally agree with you, I've also been a big fan on clothing for most of my life, but learning to mix and match each outfit is one of my new hobbies and I'm loving it!
