Hello Friends of Fashion! It has been far too long. Hope you all have enjoyed these past few weeks and have been able to add summer enhancements to your closets without breaking the bank. For me, this past month has been filled with summer events that have kept me away for a while. Unfortunately, plans for a busy August will most likely continue to keep me away. However, it will be an excellent month filled with party planning, weddings, and concerts. As I may be MIA for most of the upcoming month, I felt I should leave you with a taste of what is to come later this year... This post is a preview for those of you who are, what I like to call, "Shoe-a-holics." ;) Sometimes, I find shoes at thrift stores that seem as though they just need a splash of personal adornment. Other times, shoes that I already own begin to seem repetitive and just need a bit of upgrading. Often times, I simply crave a shoe that offers a unique style and a touch of personality. Being a lover of c...

Hello Beauties! It is time to bring out your denim, folks! This week, I am excited to start a new series for my blog..."Denim '4' Days." Denim is timeless and is one of the easiest items to style using a 2WBT1 label. Most of you probably own a variety of denim. If you are looking for ways to reuse and adorn these pieces, this series is for you. Dress it up. Dress it down. At the office. On the town. Here are 4 ways to wear your denim. The Button Down: Denim button downs are everywhere right now, making them the perfect item in which to kick off my "Denim '4' Days" series. I was able to find this denim shirt at a thrift store ( RR-Embrace Secondhand ).  Denim has yet to fade out of style and I am quite certain it never will which makes thrifting for denim inexpensive, easy and fun. Day 1: For my first look, I chose to give my denim a dressed up feel by throwing it over the top of my favorite LBD (Little Black Dress). Becaus...

Greetings to my Fashionable Friends! Hope you have all been able to have some fun in the sun this past week. Just over a month ago, I issued my first fashion post as a brand new blogger. I have been so appreciative of the encouragement from my family and friends. I also feel so blessed to have met some new followers along the way. Thank you to everyone for your love and support. It really adds to the joy this brings to me each and every week. To celebrate that first post, I have decided to show you another way to make a fabulous clothing item last all year long. As I have said before, high waisted pants are one of my favorite pieces this year. Having the ability to wear them for every season may be what I love most about them. This week, I am featuring a pair of high waisted, wide leg, retro pants that were originally owned by grandmother and handed down to me by my mother. If you don't already own a pair, ask family first. Mothers, Grandmothers, Aunts, etc. are an excellen...

Hello Beauties!    Hope you all have been able to discover some lovely looks while playing dress up in your closets these past few days. This week, I am posting for those of you who enjoy a look that is fashionably funky.    This week I am very excited to show you two ways to wear a very easy to find "hand me down" item. ( RR-Embrace Secondhand ). Anything high waisted is one of my favorite looks for this year. Fortunately, most of you probably have a lady in your life who owns a pair of "Mom" Jeans. If you don't, no need to fret, they are very easy to find at your local thrift store. Look for a pair of high waisted jeans in any color. If they happen to have a wide leg cut, here is a quick trick to help give them more of a modern feel. Step 1: Put on a standard pair of jeans with a wide leg cut. Step 2: In the back, tightly gather the bottom of the jeans and tie a hair tie or rubber band around the bunch you have created. Step 3: Roll the jeans up...

Hello Fashionistas! Hope your closet creativity is booming on this fabulous, first day of summer. Here is to getting outside and enjoying the sunshine! This week's post will be short and sweet, and will hopefully leave you with some inspiration and style adornment. 2WBT1: Tutu Mini A tutu mini is a great item in which to recognize versatility.

Hello Fans of Fashion!    As spring nears its end and the weekend approaches, I am eager to post this week's 2WBT1 item. Using your creativity with basic items is an excellent way to expand the possibilities for your inner fashionista.  Two weeks ago, I featured a fabulous navy, mini skirt.    The most fabulous thing about this mini skirt is that it isn't really a skirt at all. This item is actually a very versatile T-shirt dress. T-shirt dresses are splendid for the buyer on a budget. They are quite easy to find at a great price and are extremely functional.     As a lady who loves fashion and tends to overbook my spring Saturdays, I thought it best to show you three great ways to wear your T-shirt dress on a busy and sunny weekend day.  Wear it as a skirt: Saturday Morning Outing With this look, I chose to wear my T-shirt dress as a mini skirt. To create a look that is both cute and comfortable...

Hello Fans of Fashion! In last week's post, I displayed an item that wasn't as it appeared. This week I was eager to reveal that item and how it can be worn with my  2WBT1  label.  Drum roll, please... It is my midi, flare skirt. Midi flares are a fabulous item to own and are lovely for Spring, especially in the Northwest. They come in many different color palettes, allow you to stay stylish and warm on cool, spring days and can be worn in more ways than one.  As a Skirt. Wear it as a skirt. In this photo, I chose to include items that give my skirt a relaxed, spring look. Adding a loose, cotton blouse and some sandals,  give the look a modern, bohemian feel.  I tucked one side of my blouse in and threw on a scarf to give it that extra layer of warmth and style. As you can see, this specific skirt sits low on my waist and hits me at about mid-shin, making it the perfect skirt to get creative with.  As a dress. ...

Hello Fans of Fashion, Hope all is well in the world of dress-up. For my first fashion post, I was inspired by my 2WBT1  label. However, with the item I chose, I couldn't stop at only two. Blazers are the perfect piece to use year round and are generally fairly easy to find secondhand if you don't already own one. My mustard, sweater blazer is one of my favorite items in my closet and the possibilites for it are endless. Because blazers are such a versatile item, I have decided to show you ways that you can incorporate yours into your look all year long. This week, 4WBT1 because a blazer is the most stellar way to celebrate each of the four seasons. Spring: Spring is a great time to pull out a mini, but wearing one can leave you feeling chilly in breezy weather. Adding a blazer, allows you to bring out the "sunny weather" items you have been waiting to wear all winter long, while maintaining your warmth on those windy, spring days. With this look, I am w...
