Ah, the button down shirt. Pretty much everyone has at least one in their closet and you can find them at pretty much every, any store. And understandably so. The style is a classic.But while you might wear a button down in the traditional way {buttoned down!}, you can absolutely have fun and remix it. You can even turn a button down into a trendy crop top and even a halter. Don't believe me? I'm showing you how. And it's ridiculously easy.Black printed button down shirt styled as a crop top

A few days ago I made another appearance on Essence Now, Essence magazine's weekly digital show. Last year I showed affordable style options to decode your holiday party dress code. But this time around it was still holiday related, but all about gift baskets.
While you can buy a ready made gift basket, there's nothing better than creating a custom DIY gift basket. One that's really tailored to the person and the things they want or even need.

These are the classics that most thrift shops have in stock.And instead of just using them as is, it's easy to create a little DIY magic. These don't require a ton of steps or tools and will give you a unique piece that's affordable. Oh, and Monday, August 17 is National Thrift Shop Day, so many stores will have amazing deals!

looking-fly-on-a-dime-thrifty-threads-thrift-store-style A few years ago I did a post entitled I Hate My Legs. I hated the way they looked in shorts. Not in dresses, but just shorts, which I felt highlighted my short, stumpy stems and chubby knees.

It's totally natural to have a body part that isn't exactly your favorite asset. Well, fast forward a few years and I'm proudly showing serious leg in a pair of DIY cutoffs.
