It's been a minute, but we've been getting revved up to show you some great and simple new ways to alter your wardrobe. And what better way to kick off than by announcing our latest contest for this vintage jacket we showed you at the top of the year!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvOuqGwCl1WsPRSGBGFcoCiWry7B7lpYnIwEuaLx0SO80GOIrwwkUIhfsaqSwQ1mbM6ZTjXqJV8QojhZwYjRKr7c8ce1aawrPkdHZzIJOyTjQ5e8H0MBcj5KnoT-8st70vCAWGVppzUE2K/s1600/CHAINGANG_collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvOuqGwCl1WsPRSGBGFcoCiWry7B7lpYnIwEuaLx0SO80GOIrwwkUIhfsaqSwQ1mbM6ZTjXqJV8QojhZwYjRKr7c8ce1aawrPkdHZzIJOyTjQ5e8H0MBcj5KnoT-8st70vCAWGVppzUE2K/s640/CHAINGANG_collage.jpg" width="360" /></a></div>I found this vintage shirt last year and wanted to do something special with it. Since it was really bulky, Tanya suggested we turn it into a jacket, but I wanted to create something that could be worn several ways. So I took in the side-seams by about 2", pulled up the shoulders by inserting pleats, and cut it, right down the center! It can be worn open and loose, but I decided it might be fun to turn it around. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6AKKldaR0L340MQlDQC8WMFqQZxtJIMLJU81u9PCwMbSMN8kWdXWlQcXmRLi-PZJiKcouLMkN7IYQ5EURZg6DulRxoDDysf7PHMlQaL4cA2IkIg7RfPotpd7Gd3tKqrTI8Mb2aZiNz58/s1600/DSC_0125.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6AKKldaR0L340MQlDQC8WMFqQZxtJIMLJU81u9PCwMbSMN8kWdXWlQcXmRLi-PZJiKcouLMkN7IYQ5EURZg6DulRxoDDysf7PHMlQaL4cA2IkIg7RfPotpd7Gd3tKqrTI8Mb2aZiNz58/s640/DSC_0125.jpg" width="428" /></a></div>So I did, and wore it belted as a top.<br />

Are you getting ready to rev up with some color? Well here at Secondhand Star we love nothing more than bringing our clothing back to life through the process of dyeing and refreshing them for a new season!<br />

When I first bought it, the fabric had a sheer, sparkly, gold tint to the threading. Over time it's become a dusty, beigey-nude. Not bad, but it could have a second life in a more springtime friendly hue!<br />

I bought a liquid bottle of Scarlet Rit Dye and poured it into a small, washing machine load. However, because the coat had some metallic threading it took two bottles and two loads to get the color more pronounced.<br />

We sought, we bought, we doctored, we altered, and we strove to find the coolest, (and in some cases, most in need of assistance) vintage and thrift items we could lay our hands on!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Here's a look back at our favorites from 2011. And while we've both been insanely busy lately, we promise to dig in for more exciting remakes in 2012! See you back here soon!<br />

<br />
We're back from our holiday, Etsy promotion, and revving up for holiday renovations...<br />
<br />
Like this little number! I've always liked the look of bright, brash prints, (even though my own wardrobe has a tendency towards the more "demure" tones.) But when I found this adorable dress at Out of the Closet for 9$, I knew there was a little gem waiting to be born.<br />

But there was definitely something cute and fresh and totally salvageable about this number.<br />

(As seen pinned above). Lastly, I took in the waist from the back by a good three inches or so.<br />
<br />
And here's the result. A little less mumu, and little more rock n' roll!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LpI-v__txfY/TrRAs5FCQJI/AAAAAAAAFOs/Bu8gFxMWOas/s1600/DSC_0313.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LpI-v__txfY/TrRAs5FCQJI/AAAAAAAAFOs/Bu8gFxMWOas/s640/DSC_0313.JPG" width="428" /></a></div>So I think I'll hack off the arms and take in the side seams just a little, to give it that babydoll, 60's edge and then couple it with a wintery mini. I want to keep the slits, so I can only take in a couple of inches. But a few inches all around can make all the difference! Voila!<br />

To put it another way, this pique cotton, twin set looked like something the 60's era ladies on the block would've worn in a Tim Burton movie. Can't you picture this number with a bouffant and a cigarette in hand? <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zpTcU3NU3-8/TrRDHlQjNiI/AAAAAAAAFQo/gJJr9NT1rVk/s1600/DSC_0296+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zpTcU3NU3-8/TrRDHlQjNiI/AAAAAAAAFQo/gJJr9NT1rVk/s640/DSC_0296+%25282%2529.JPG" width="428" /></a></div>However, I'm a sucker for good fabric. There's something really cute about the matching set and the colors. It's so creamy and fall ready. It just needs major renovation. I held onto this baby until Tanya and I had a chance to meet. As you can see, it's a little big. But big means there's lots of room to work and play with the fabric!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VXJoy8OvGvs/TrRD3CiYekI/AAAAAAAAFRU/yXnSwLFsR8s/s1600/DSC_0291+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VXJoy8OvGvs/TrRD3CiYekI/AAAAAAAAFRU/yXnSwLFsR8s/s640/DSC_0291+%25282%2529.JPG" width="428" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>The color is really perfect for her porcelain skin and rich hair color. Plus, the pants, (while short on me, were just about perfect on her frame as far as the inseam).<br />
<br />
My original idea was to make the pants into high waist-ed shorts, and create a streamlined, lengthy vest in keeping with fall trends. (A look we've both come to adore this season). But then "T" put it on, and she had an ever better idea that was much more wintery and cozy! So we started working on shortening up the vest significantly.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-d77RhVs5HJc/TrRBJ_qeyEI/AAAAAAAAFPg/Ok0vqdhRU3I/s1600/DSC_0307+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-d77RhVs5HJc/TrRBJ_qeyEI/AAAAAAAAFPg/Ok0vqdhRU3I/s640/DSC_0307+%25282%2529.JPG" width="428" /></a></div> There was a lot of nipping and tucking. We pinned it more than halfway up the length.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ekyua5yE9Mw/TrRBieSTYoI/AAAAAAAAFQE/4F7ZPh9oOTc/s1600/DSC_0302+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ekyua5yE9Mw/TrRBieSTYoI/AAAAAAAAFQE/4F7ZPh9oOTc/s640/DSC_0302+%25282%2529.JPG" width="428" /></a></div>And we grabbed the back of the pants through the crotch and pulled in about 6 inches! But the main idea was to keep the pants long, lean, and high around the waist. Then the big change would be to create a cropped jacket and make this a winter, wonderland suit! Less Edward Scissorhands, more Madmen...<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA6WH2WDPCLqvsPMZP3XHuTd2Za0Ln8mjmqfPPTQZHKHlWoYyjfrunpJ4F6n_Bweips-z9YhhyXPxVazOftFmC6zenqc4cZ81YFFE1gjNk311DQ27CjYJx5Ontb5HhABEfhpcLXVSDwTJK/s1600/P1010692.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA6WH2WDPCLqvsPMZP3XHuTd2Za0Ln8mjmqfPPTQZHKHlWoYyjfrunpJ4F6n_Bweips-z9YhhyXPxVazOftFmC6zenqc4cZ81YFFE1gjNk311DQ27CjYJx5Ontb5HhABEfhpcLXVSDwTJK/s640/P1010692.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Then I hand placed a row of pearl buttoned snaps to keep the "vintage flavor". This is something you don't need a grommet machine to do at home. You can purchase the snaps in various sizes and color, and you only need to employ plyers and a hammer to get them inserted.<br />

Pantsuit: Out of the Closet, Vintage. 1$Secondhand Starhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17450035705165369128noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4994199126505091162.post-49964002849144613672011-11-07T13:49:00.000-08:002011-11-07T13:49:26.026-08:00Costume coat and a beautiful gal to wear it!This is Shiri G. She's a wonderful colorist, master hair cutter, and all around sweetie, but she also has some bad-ass taste in retro clothing, which is why we wanted to devote a blog to her unique style!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIRFM8EO8-Hw05JwPIvUH35ehYCZz98sAkkkQwW5CYKxxWg88giYqDTBlP9Oz5qtQXIZZWj6In9YwZTJNKCpHYePfcYfMcsG2Xf0ojoIXaYXxon5WLJULVWSMyYpxtCDNcXsJSKL_YlpaF/s1600/DSC_0274+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIRFM8EO8-Hw05JwPIvUH35ehYCZz98sAkkkQwW5CYKxxWg88giYqDTBlP9Oz5qtQXIZZWj6In9YwZTJNKCpHYePfcYfMcsG2Xf0ojoIXaYXxon5WLJULVWSMyYpxtCDNcXsJSKL_YlpaF/s640/DSC_0274+%25282%2529.JPG" width="428" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Tanya and I met Shiri several months ago and became fast friends. In fact, I ended up tailoring a pantsuit for my first meeting with her, which she rocked out at a summer wedding, looking oh-so-chic and stylish!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAfqdhcDMxRuVRv1KwfwH06W5eRclxYs8uuOoMajik3uNfpWnnCXU0TUyiDNlXvDXAIjKgaUowarHZny-ofn_IBRXD9ApbOKzsETD6q88Bi8aLoPYkKQbP_7ifHYwVoUuhGAQYNCuwfLhH/s1600/DSC_0266+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAfqdhcDMxRuVRv1KwfwH06W5eRclxYs8uuOoMajik3uNfpWnnCXU0TUyiDNlXvDXAIjKgaUowarHZny-ofn_IBRXD9ApbOKzsETD6q88Bi8aLoPYkKQbP_7ifHYwVoUuhGAQYNCuwfLhH/s640/DSC_0266+%25282%2529.JPG" width="428" /></a></div>But a pantsuit was the least of it. Shiri showed me this amazing jacket she had picked up at a costume repository in the valley. Remember when we did the redesigned military for Tanya <a href="http://secondhandstaronline.blogspot.com/2011/03/attention-military-vintage-on-move.html">here</a>? Well, we're obviously big fans of the look, so it took me about 2.2 seconds to get my creative juices flowing.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fzlVCfEogV8/TrHbX1lYEJI/AAAAAAAAFGw/Q2-HvaL1UXI/s1600/DSC_0170.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fzlVCfEogV8/TrHbX1lYEJI/AAAAAAAAFGw/Q2-HvaL1UXI/s640/DSC_0170.JPG" width="428" /></a></div>I wish I'd gotten a "before" shot, but you'll have to take my word for it when I say she's the baddest gal at 5'0" you'll ever see, but this jacket was made for someone at least a foot taller and possibly that much wider! In a nutshell, it was HUGE!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-p3UvaIYSSvQ/TrHbNUBeywI/AAAAAAAAFGg/ha3OR4KUCD8/s1600/DSC_0173+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-p3UvaIYSSvQ/TrHbNUBeywI/AAAAAAAAFGg/ha3OR4KUCD8/s640/DSC_0173+%25282%2529.JPG" width="428" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Though cut like a cavalry officer coat, it just screamed "Shiri'! So to make it fit properly I took in the sleeves, cuffs, waist, back, and ever the shoulder a bit, to create something a little more Michael Jackson and a little less Napoleon at Waterloo.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bHQyhJJsumo/TrHa9Kc9YnI/AAAAAAAAFGE/hWubxbLMTjI/s1600/DSC_0180+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bHQyhJJsumo/TrHa9Kc9YnI/AAAAAAAAFGE/hWubxbLMTjI/s640/DSC_0180+%25282%2529.JPG" width="428" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qArhMBn15dk/TrHcvvasn2I/AAAAAAAAFJM/ZWJwW5RmwIg/s1600/DSC_0139+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qArhMBn15dk/TrHcvvasn2I/AAAAAAAAFJM/ZWJwW5RmwIg/s640/DSC_0139+%25282%2529.JPG" width="428" /></a></div> And the result? A fabulous, cropped, number that ever the most petite rock & roller can wear!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKUCXMur1aP1xWA7i8ipedzt-sT5j9c3Zguf6O-DoiPopdq0qZuYvA_PT4dIdHRcJAvHqTk15hsRTXm-8RuJH66KwXWsSOdmJ0tLbd2bDx_fz-IRT035WTh65zAlKMNCQGlJYGG3BjcTHQ/s1600/DSC_0263.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKUCXMur1aP1xWA7i8ipedzt-sT5j9c3Zguf6O-DoiPopdq0qZuYvA_PT4dIdHRcJAvHqTk15hsRTXm-8RuJH66KwXWsSOdmJ0tLbd2bDx_fz-IRT035WTh65zAlKMNCQGlJYGG3BjcTHQ/s640/DSC_0263.JPG" width="428" /></a></div>And can we please give her an additional, Secondhand Star shout-out? Not only for being an amazing thrifter herself, but for also generously providing me and Ms. T with the most radiantly beautiful hair color and cut we've both had in years! We love you Shiri G! So hurry over to November Grey today to find out how you can get a major hook-up with Shiri if you're in the LA area, and also to enter to win some haircare product from WEN at Chaz Dean Studio! If you find your way into her capable hands, you won't be sorry!<br />

Molly is a big fan of vintage, mod, and mini-dresses, and I was delighted to see when she donned this little cocktail affair for a wedding, that it closely resembled one of our own Secondhand Star creations!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--Qn1Ob4A-JA/TdnidSeMoyI/AAAAAAAABHc/52J1FpgM4g4/s1600/P1000320.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--Qn1Ob4A-JA/TdnidSeMoyI/AAAAAAAABHc/52J1FpgM4g4/s640/P1000320.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>Being a fan of brocade and older fabrics, Molly had this adorable little number made for her, and actually purchased the material herself. (Don't all you DIY'ers just love her)?!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
She managed to impress us not once, but twice in two days, donning a fabulous, toile printed cotton vest for a press event, which once again was home-made. This gal knows her way around a sewing machine! But we love her in the soft, brocaded satin she chose for this mod-inspired mini.<br />

We think Molly's on to something. Here's our past take on a similar cut, fabric and color.<br />

Yeah, it was cute. But we've both accrued a truckload of retro jackets throughout the summer, and I wanted to see something fun and different. Fortunately Miss T was already one step ahead of me!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kTHT81SWRBk/Ti8cipbP7VI/AAAAAAAADJs/PyPtskxJ6KI/s1600/DSC_0462.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kTHT81SWRBk/Ti8cipbP7VI/AAAAAAAADJs/PyPtskxJ6KI/s640/DSC_0462.jpg" width="428" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>She had an idea to cut it higher in the back like a jacket she saw on a favorite blogger <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/215436951/">here</a>. Different indeed!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtQrcTXZpFx5JkGDwE_JiDi9UYLngfCMNRC353LNDZZhc01VyGLZel2VXhzKDlXgM4CIbNR_fDPn4t-d9TzAjY-JUPC8TzAAshCyjN15w-FMJuZfuf2FkqJ6U99VV42F8CgVXgv1MemsUX/s1600/Picture+7.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtQrcTXZpFx5JkGDwE_JiDi9UYLngfCMNRC353LNDZZhc01VyGLZel2VXhzKDlXgM4CIbNR_fDPn4t-d9TzAjY-JUPC8TzAAshCyjN15w-FMJuZfuf2FkqJ6U99VV42F8CgVXgv1MemsUX/s1600/Picture+7.png" /></a></div>When we met for an afternoon of relaxation, (i.e. a mani-pedi) recently, we decided it was the perfect opportunity to do some co designing and brainstorming on how to make this beauty come to life! We've both been so busy, but leave it to us to literally pin the jacket to Tanya's body while waiting for our chairs at the nail salon! (See this post <a href="http://secondhandstaronline.blogspot.com/2011/09/busy-busy-but-bi-big-plans.html">here</a>!)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-V1nWA3M5zqLwEK8H_iSdVyuJe4_mNIPXt_GvPgm9Gw9rE3GdHRo8M9f9uxC_p8MgF4NKw1rr873UCqDq0ZWDGkzoDuXIqYPIZkxYEsXZr69Ti0MaUmLfmVh2-zPelWjjDElLTopleE4e/s1600/P1010650.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-V1nWA3M5zqLwEK8H_iSdVyuJe4_mNIPXt_GvPgm9Gw9rE3GdHRo8M9f9uxC_p8MgF4NKw1rr873UCqDq0ZWDGkzoDuXIqYPIZkxYEsXZr69Ti0MaUmLfmVh2-zPelWjjDElLTopleE4e/s400/P1010650.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>I took it home and marked the jacket with straights pins and took in the sleeves, the side and back seams, as well as the cuffs, which I shortened by about 2 inches. Tanya's frame is very petite, so the whole jacket had to come in a full dress size all around, but we wanted to maintain the integrity of the pockets so we made sure to cut where they were still functional...<br />
<br />
And the result?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OC24Wi48byc/Tqis5m-DpqI/AAAAAAAAFCg/WN7Y3q3QSKY/s1600/DSC_0622.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OC24Wi48byc/Tqis5m-DpqI/AAAAAAAAFCg/WN7Y3q3QSKY/s640/DSC_0622.jpg" width="428" /></a></div> A super cool tailored piece that Tanya unexpectedly wore in a very relaxed and layered way. <br />

I'm wearing the redesigned vintage porter shorts (also seen <a href="http://secondhandstaronline.blogspot.com/2011/04/porter-shorts-wintersummer.html">here</a>!) They are my most favorite redesign we've done. I wear them ALL. THE. TIME. I'm also rocking the redesigned gold lapel jacket (see Before & After <a href="http://secondhandstaronline.blogspot.com/2011/08/black-and-gold-go-bold-part-2.html">here</a>!)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Adrienne (below) just <i>killed it</i> in our designs. This gorgeous girl is a model and actress and took each piece to a whole new level by creating a "character" for each one. Noa and I are a bit obsessed with her. <br />

<br />
It really is all in how you wear it, ladies! Hope you enjoyed the shots! As promised, we will be selling some of our designs, but more importantly, it's all about opening your mind to those all too often "looked over" pieces that can be tweaked and tamed into something amazing.<br />
<br />
Remember, if you don't have the master sewing skills (like Miss Noa B) - all you have to find is a good tailor. {A sultry stare and serious character motivation never hurts either!} <br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Are you as excited as we are about these amazing, holiday, feather skirts that have been seen all over the runway? We love this from little, black gem from ASOS, and this neutral one from Calypso St Barths! So they inspired us to create this season's hottest look with an old, thrift store piece and some fabulous remnants! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div>On a thrifting Sunday I found this blah, black mini skirt for a buck. I didn't really care about its appearance other than it being a decent fit, because I was looking for something to use as a building base. I snagged it for a buck and got busy prepping it for a renovation.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSdiQ7F_k9voZgEvLJwFLUSfKFg2LxSY65keggx-E_j7O1G3RCRO5udTgGDScgx7UGnMzMVJKGzXfaSVUZ3eIQnO9kI5LmfICqIOTquul9GS9io8wDQvZdUAFCmYxMRszsiqCC8l1O8ke8/s1600/P1010471.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSdiQ7F_k9voZgEvLJwFLUSfKFg2LxSY65keggx-E_j7O1G3RCRO5udTgGDScgx7UGnMzMVJKGzXfaSVUZ3eIQnO9kI5LmfICqIOTquul9GS9io8wDQvZdUAFCmYxMRszsiqCC8l1O8ke8/s400/P1010471.JPG" width="400" /></a> </div>I measured and cut about 4 inches from the hem, which was also kind of wavy and dated.<br />

I'm not a pack rat at all. In fact, quite the opposite. However, as luck would have it I had saved some extremely expensive trims from my design days over 15 years ago. Who knew they'd be back again, and so on point with trend?<br />

And I decided to combine all three for two reasons:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJzNj-M5mR7gQ8zMfSGilVH9J_oP2WuQr8t_6Zi2JMFf8zqP3D8_YLmSD8XZeCPFiYPUvHz1bTdfiR0Rx1926ofhT2LeCItwAdK75Qm-tAIeyrRlWs4tDrX9ru2ZtXCDM1FTP0R1pO4z6K/s1600/P1010475.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJzNj-M5mR7gQ8zMfSGilVH9J_oP2WuQr8t_6Zi2JMFf8zqP3D8_YLmSD8XZeCPFiYPUvHz1bTdfiR0Rx1926ofhT2LeCItwAdK75Qm-tAIeyrRlWs4tDrX9ru2ZtXCDM1FTP0R1pO4z6K/s400/P1010475.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>First, I didn't have enough for a whole skirt in one tone, and second, the mixture of colors created a more casual feel to the garment. At about 15$ per yard back in the day, I figured, waste not!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzslNa5c3f5zgM31MBbjC897xL3Elp6LNVz5_hOl2buNJaamr6Qop61mcjaIMQRnDS65qbenN68GTIl590u0q9q7fSpVoZnyUHySlZhFW6Gi_2hjt1mpB0uPZHQAZ3ejGNYxhLE0ymNLsd/s1600/P1010476.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzslNa5c3f5zgM31MBbjC897xL3Elp6LNVz5_hOl2buNJaamr6Qop61mcjaIMQRnDS65qbenN68GTIl590u0q9q7fSpVoZnyUHySlZhFW6Gi_2hjt1mpB0uPZHQAZ3ejGNYxhLE0ymNLsd/s400/P1010476.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>So I got busy, and pinned and draped and pinned and stitched! <br />

The first for us featured a wraparound skirt found by the brilliant, Belle de Couture. (<a href="http://belledecouture.com/">See here</a>). The second gave away silk pants, (chosen by yours truly, <a href="http://secondhandstaronline.blogspot.com/2011/07/chain-gang-vintage-swap-silk-dupioni.html">here</a> again). And this is is the best yet! A tribal print jacket chosen by our latest member of the swap team, Devon, from <a href="mailto:devonrachel@blogspot.com">devonrachel@blogspot.com</a>.<br />

The big, floppy bow can be tied in front or worn down the back like a scarf.<br />

We've both been so incredibly busy lately, that it's been tough to do all the designing and thrift/vintage re-doing that we're accustomed to. So we literally (no joke) pinned a jacket in the corner of the salon, right next to the new Katie Perry OPI line. We got a few strange looks, but made the most of our time, and were also able to settle into some much needed relaxation for the both of us. Stay tuned next week for some awesome renovations!<br />

The long, denim shirt was such an easy look that I instantly wanted to wear it.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4TdwedUKGAnuFd6MNCL96iu3HXKCuJIXX_igJnKgxIKuFW1Qbbs_zBmdSnRpwTYTTBlnEAEjsRpIqAz9UFdavNnzFZ3PjlfVAGt7qBhTYKihNa4lJ_Q39ir8JMS2x3GV3pgN5WGAxGhF3/s1600/Denim+shirt+tear.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4TdwedUKGAnuFd6MNCL96iu3HXKCuJIXX_igJnKgxIKuFW1Qbbs_zBmdSnRpwTYTTBlnEAEjsRpIqAz9UFdavNnzFZ3PjlfVAGt7qBhTYKihNa4lJ_Q39ir8JMS2x3GV3pgN5WGAxGhF3/s640/Denim+shirt+tear.jpg" width="544" /></a></div><br />
As it so happens, I had a fuzzy vest that I'd bought on sale from F21 during the winter. And I had fringey boots from Michael Kors which I'd loved for years but not gotten a ton of wear out of thus far.<br />
<br />
All that was needed to complete this look was a long, denim shirt. And guess what I found last Sunday at my favorite thrift stores' "dollar" sale?<br />

Denim shirt! For a buck! All it needed was a single replacement button.<br />

True, you won't always find your "key" piece on the first round, but you'll usually find at least one out of every three or four things on your list that will put you on the path towards your fashion goals for a fraction of the price.<br />
