Refashion: Turtleneck to Ruffleneck

She is really really good! Does lots of refashions and here is a great way to make a turtleneck look cute. I'll be looking at the thriftstore for a nice turtleneck.

I did it again....sewed an annoying turtleneck into something cute. Some of you may remember {this} refashion I did. It was so simple to do and I knew I wanted to do that with many of my long sleeved shirts. I love fun shirts and most of my winter things are so boring.....yep, that means I'll be doing a lot of refashioning over the course of winter. 

Anyway, here is how I did it.
1.) Just cut out your neckline how you want it.....remember it gets wider because your sew a seam!
2.) Cut the turtle neck part straight and cut into strips like you see in the picture. (Ignore the birdseed ☺)
3.) You could leave the sleeves on your shirt but I cut them shorter to make it cuter.
4.) I didn't take pictures of the other steps but stitch the long strips into ruffels....all one long string.
5.) pin the ruffles on the neckline like you see in the first picture
6.) Sew

See some more pictures of this outfit on {Feminine Modesty}.....but before you leave....

How are some ways you would refashion turtlenecks?

The Twirled Checkered Dress

Today I walked the dog through the vineyards to town to send off a graduation card for Patrick's brother (tutorial coming soon) and this is what I wore.....


 This dress was gifted to me by one of my college friends.....I tried it on and it fit so perfectly! I love the casual jean top with the summery checkered pattern. And the twirled pattern on the top.....just gives it flair.

Dress- gifted
Camisole- walmart
Shoes- Thrifted
Jewlery- gifted & SIX

Is there anyone your close to that graduated? What did you do for them?








PS: This is what Paxton thinks of my taking outfit pictures:

A Sunny POP!

Here it has been a bit overcast....but not when you see me! Here is a bright and cheery outfit- yellow with navy blue! Everything is new (to me) and was so much fun to wear. 
Who else loves my navy blue polka-dot scarf?

And how do you like my cute little blue flats.....aren't those bows just sooooo cute! ☺

After this outfit I believe we should always wear bright and cheery clothing....so even if it is dull outside I can feel happy! What do you think?







PS: These pictures were taken before I dyed my hair.

Nature's Green


This outfit is super comfortable....especially for the warmer weather coming up but still looks classy. The camisole has a floral pattern and gives the simple outfit just a little more fun.

How do you feel about flowers in your hair?

How to wear a Tunic Modestly

Last week I decided to try something new...wearing a skirt with a tunic....and I like it! I wore this brown tunic with a brown and red camisole to keep warm , for modesty and for a layered look. The skirt was a red pencil skirt that would other wise be too tight for modesty but was perfect with the tunic.



Have you tried wearing a tunic with a skirt? Will you try it?
