Fancy Feet: Post 1.

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 crafts and fashion, it was fun and easy to discover new ways to fancy up my feet and I am eager to share them with you!

I invite you to "step" in to the magic of sprucing up your shoes.

Step 1: Find a pair of simple shoes. Look in your closet, at thrift shops, or in the clearance section of your favorite store. Anything simple will work: Flats, Wedges, Stilettos, Sandals, etc.

Step 2: Add details with ribbon, buttons, fabric flowers, fabric scraps, feathers, bows, etc. Create looks that are unique and that represent your personal style. The possibilities are endless.

Step 3: Admire the work you have done. There is nothing more rewarding than going out on the town in an item that showcases your creativity and your inner fashionista.

Example:



Stay tuned for more on "Fancy Feet" this fall. 

Here is to dressing up your feet! Remember to have fun and get creative. 

Stay Lovely,

"Dress"-ing Up Your Skirt: Spring Edition

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. ...
