These are for a housewarming, but they could really be for anything...so easy! as long as you have a working typewriter I guess...

Wow, I can tell already that this site is gonna come in handy. I feel like I'm stealing their ideas, but I'm not honestly, I just feel that they need to be shared!

First Try!

This goes out to my friend, Heidi. She loves to try new things and experiment and make cute outfits!

So, the other day I went on a crazy thrifting spree and found a bunch of awesome stuff at the VV on Ottawa Street in Kitchener...I'll post some picks later.

Anyways, I got this one sweater (pretty sure it's form urban outfitters...) that I LOVE but it was kinda big at the bottom (ideally i would've needed a small, but you don't get to pick and choose when thrifting! Either it fits or it don't!)

It was a size large, but I thought to myself, I can fix this! So I found this old braided belt in my room that I never wear and cut a little hole in the front. then i just patiently pushed it all the way through the bottom of the sweater. It also helped that it had a bead on it so i had something to grab onto... It hangs down kinda far, but I don't really care. I think it'll be a really cute sweater for the summer 'cause its light coloured and not too heavy either!

Look what I did!
