This post was originally posted for Elegance and Elephants "Knock off" series, but we are bringing it home today. My only regret when I made these is that I didn't buy ten packs of those cool disco-like styrofoam balls. I would love to use them a million other ways..... I am totally in love with anything Olive Juice clothing does and this darling pom pom necklace is no exception. Simple, childlike but still so darling on an outfit. source I also figured out that it would also be ... View the Post
The Love is in the Air Skirt (with Printable Template)

Thrifted Thursday: The World’s Easiest Skirt Refashion with a Completely Unnecessary Tutorial
Awhile ago I was cleaning out some old clothing bins of mine (a never ending project it seems) when I ran across one that included a bunch of old skirts that I wore the first year or two I taught school. They were long, frumpy, and totally from the turn of the century...back when I was partying like it was 1999. They ALL looked like this: Anyone else remember these beauties or am I just waaaay older than all of you are? (Wait, don't answer that.) I'll just pretend you remember these ... View the Post
