I am such a clothes hoarder that my own (old) stuff almost qualifies as vintage.

Moda Int'l sweater; thrifted pants; vintage bag; Nine West wedgesLately I've been sticking to classic shapes in solid colors, like this cropped sweater and the banana-yellow pants I picked up on my last thrifting adventure. Nothing too complicated or over the top, just light, effortless, and easy. Wouldn't it be nice if everything was this simple?
I've had this standard-issue Gap denim jacket for years, and though it was still cute and functional, I felt like DOING something to it. Why leave a perfectly good item of clothing alone when there's all sorts of potential to screw it up?So, for your viewing "pleasure," I present this quick fashion DIY video. Enjoy!
