About 2 years ago, I got the above blue dress from the Target clearance rack for under $10. It was a little long, and I wanted it to be knee length, so I chopped the bottom 16″ off (my boyfriend said it went from “floor-length to whore-length,” which still makes me chuckle to think about). … Continue reading A Simple Harvest Apron
Like a lot of little girls growing up, we were told messages that liking “girly things” meant that you were vapid, weak, and all around less than. Being told that you did anything “like a girl” meant that you were doing it wrong. Hearing that you were “not like other girls” was seen as a … Continue reading Jumpsuit Riot ~or~ What I Learned From the Barbie Movie
It’s that time of year again! With spring tentatively on its way, we can finally look forward to the end of… SeaSoNaL AfFEcTiVe DisOrDeR!!!!! I don’t know how I got signed up for this yearly membership, but I would like to unsubscribe. Aside from that gift from the universe, the past year was a doozy. … Continue reading Looking back to look ahead
This is a strange post to come back from a hiatus from, but it’s an important one to me. I recently found out that a little over a month ago, we lost the Refashionista herself, Jillian Owens. I’ve mentioned her in a few earlier posts, but in case you haven’t checked out her blog yet, … Continue reading A Farewell

Once I got them, I immediately knew I wanted to make them into tea-light wall sconces. I found some matching spooky pictures frames on Etsy to house the skulls … Continue reading Deer in the Tea-Lights

Women have to carry a pumpkin spice consumable item, be it latte and/or donut, … Continue reading Coverall Overhaul

Things were floating along nicely with this blog, and then… School started. I’m very lucky to have a job that I enjoy. I know most people only … Continue reading Guess who’s back!
This $5 Goodwill dress has to be from the 1990’s. I can just see someone wearing it with a Blossom-style hat and some huge black Doc Martin’s. The tiny floral print, the empire waistline, and the loooooong skirt give me whiffs of Elaine from Seinfeld, or every character on Friends (Unpopular opinion: Seinfeld is way … Continue reading Funky fresh for the 90’s
In case I never mentioned this before, I am a teacher. I teach Special Ed to about ~120 cool people, some of which happen to be medically fragile. BUT since it’s looking like schools are going to open in the fall, despite the deaths and serious danger it puts us all in, I decided I’m … Continue reading Welcome to the Scrub Club
