This To That // Green Pom Pom Sleeved Shirt

Being home all the time now gives me the chance to work on all the projects I’ve been wanting to work on. Besides, for years it’s been a goal of mine to stop buying new clothes and mostly buy used, or make my own.

This was a shirt I bought at a sample sale two years ago. I never felt confident with the fit. I love oversized, but this wasn’t doing it for me. I juggled with some ideas on how to make it better, or at least more me. In the end, it’s always gonna be cropped with pom poms.

This To That // Beaded Crop Top Tee

This year, I’ve taken an unintentional break from crafting. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve still worked on a project here and there, but the ideas have been piling up without much execution. I got hit with the craft bug within the last month and decided to go digging through my “unfinished” pile of half-worked-on clothes. In my pile was this shirt I started like two years ago, but the frustrating thing was that it was 90% done. If I spent a few more hours on it, it could have been finished. So I spent those few hours and busted through.

70’s Bag Pizzazz

Over the summer of last year, my parents cleaned out my grandparent’s basement for slight renovation purposes. Their basement was full of all the knickknacks, sewing supplies, fabric, books, and tons of other flea market finds. I shared some pictures from the one day I went to help. Instead, I wasn’t too much of a help; I kinda took a lot of stuff because their fate was the trash. My dad did not hesitate to throw everything out, so I had to claim some stuff as mine to save them.

Throwback Shoes

It’s always a sort of relief when you’re able to get rid of things. Clutter is a real problem, and nostalgia is a true instigator.

Before and after a move is a great time to rethink what you own, especially as you’re sifting through your things planning on how to pack and then unpack. When I was making my last move, I really dove deep into my closet. My wardrobe includes a lot of custom made things, which I usually reuse and upcycle anyway. I’m constantly reworking clothes. It’s really my shoes that collect, and especially the custom ones I don’t have it in me to throw out. Shoes I tend to hold on to. Which of course is a problem if I’m just collecting and piling shoes on top of each other.

This To That // Green Velvet Shirt

Green Velvet Shirt

For a long time, I’ve had a goal to pay more attention to my closet. I’ve been wanting to revamp my wardrobe. It’s a slow process, but I’m working on pieces of clothing a little more every year.

I’ve had this green velvet long sleeved shirt that I wanted so badly to believe it fit me well. Truth is, I got slightly wider hips than average, so I felt this shirt accentuated my hips more and made me a bit self conscious. I thought of ideas on how to revamp that shirt and followed through with one.

This To That // Faux Leather Knee Patch Pants

Faux Leather Knee Patch Jeans
I’ve been trying to stay on a roll with crafting and doing. I’ve also been trying to finish projects and ideas I came up with a while ago, because one of the worst things is letting unfinished projects pile up.

Over a year ago I came across some jeans with patches on the knees. I saw a variety with denim patches and faux leather patches on different colored pants. I really liked this, and figured it was a project I could take on myself. Plus it’s an easy DIY to jazz up some boring pants.
