 Chop it. Crop it. Thrift shop it. 

                                                                         

If you are ever feeling bored with your wardrobe, a great way to have some fun while letting off some stress is to cut up some of your old shirts that you don't wear as much. So, that is exactly what I did with this old Urban Outfitters shirt that I hadn't worn for a year.  Simply take a shirt that you haven't worn for awhile or can't ever see yourself wearing again, chop off the bottom and create an entirely new, cute crop top! I promise you will wear the heck outta that shirt from now on!

 Summer Funk Hunt

To me, fashion is supposed to be an adventure! On with the hunt and the spoils!

I love thrifting. I love old and I love new. I love handmade and hand-me-downs too.

When I find an old dress with no shape on a hanger in a thrift store, I feel like Cinderella. By simply throwing on a shiny belt, I'm able to give it a rad new life while also adding a waist and some hot color to my outfit. This way, I can create a delicate, timeless feel with some serious funk. Add in a vintage, color-coordinating statement necklace from a Middle Eastern flea market, along with a bright bra underneath and a fitted bodycon skirt from Forever21 (which I also bought at a thrift store for only $1.60).This particular look is a combination of new, used, opportunity, bargain, and a touch of luxury. Life is all about choosing the best time to spend that extra dollar and when to stretch it. With that being said, thrift shop 'til you drop! Remember, style is for everyone to enjoy, so have fun with it!
