"Shirt"-ing the issue: Volume 1

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. If you don't already own one and you happen to be crafty, the tutu skirt is moderately easy to fashion on your own. If you are a person who would prefer to save the time and spend the cash, these particular skirts are rather easy to find at a decent price in today's fashion world. Because my tutu mini is my go-to item when I am off to hit the town, I wanted to share with you a couple of ways to wear it.
As I always say... Two ways are better than one.

Wear it as a skirt:


With this, I wanted to create a style that was perfect for a night out on the town.  To generate a look that adds a bit of liveliness and a splash of color, pair your tutu skirt with a vivaciously patterened blouse. The shape of the skirt will be showcased simply if the blouse is a flowy crop top. This particular blouse is one I found at a thrift store years ago (RR- Embrace Secondhand). To allow the pattern of the shirt to stand alone and make the statement, keep accessories sweet and simple. 



Wear it as a shirt:


In previous posts, I have shown you some creative ways to wear a skirt. With this look, I chose to wear my skirt as a shirt. Because a tutu skirt is flowy and fun, it makes a beautifully unique strapless top. Be sure to bring in the waist by tying a cloth belt just below your bust. Tying the bow of your belt in the back will create a clean and crisp look up front. Fashion a look that is great for a day of shopping with the girls or a lunch date with friends by adding an all lace cardigan and a pair of dressy cargo pants. This will keep the look modern, casual, and cohesive. I added nude heels for personal style and a red bracelet for a little pop of color.

Isn't it grand to own a skirt? Wishing you a week of decorative dress-up.

Stay Lovely,

Seasons come and go, but fashion is forever.

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...

Welcome Friends of Fashion.

Hello to All. My name is Chandra. I am a lover of music, fashion, tea, animals, our earth, designing accessories, family and mostly, love. I enjoy collecting tea pots, craft supplies, Compact Discs, nail polish and above all clothing. I have started this blog to focus on just that...clothing. Thanks to my beautiful mother, fashion has been my friend since I can remember. I first fell in love with it as a young girl when I was able to stylize my very first outfit complete with rain boots, ruffled socks, polka dot leggings, a character shirt, and an incorrectly buttoned up rain jacket. And still, as a woman in my mid- twenties, I simply cannot get enough of it. This blog is meant for those of you, who like me, happen to be a buyer on a budget, earth friendly, and/or simply have a passion for the world of fashion. As a lover of the earth, a finder of great deals, and a designer of fashion accessories, I plan to show you ways to recycle and enhance items in your closet while spending lit...

Weekend "T" for three.

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...
