Vintage Revamp OOTD

I found this at a thrift store a few weeks ago and I really loved the colors on the dress, but it went down to my ankles and it had long sleeves so it was not at all fashionable. It sat on my "to glamourize" clothing rack and then it sat some more until finally I decided to just do my favorite thing to skirts: Asymmetrical cuts. I made the back longer than the front and I cut the sleeves to make them shorter, and that's it. I modernized it by adding a cute belt, which is also vintage, and a statement necklace that I bought at Hancock Fabrics. The purse is also vintage and one of my Christmas presents from the hubby. We had errands to run so I wore comfy black flats.

It was super easy to do this re-vamp, just laid it on it's side, with the side seams together, and then I measured how long I wanted the front to be (or how short) and I started cutting 1" down from there to the back downwards, and when I got to the very bottom I rounded the end so that there isn't a big point at the back. Then I serged the ends (you can skip this step if you don't have a serger) and press the ends in 1/2", and then again another 1/2" to inclose the ends. Sew 1/4" away from the end and that is it! The sleeves I just cut where I wanted them to end and press the ends in also and sew! :)

What did you think of my easy revamp?

P.S. I made this dress today from a not so fashionable vintage dress that I found at the thrift store. I think it's perfect for Summer. Tutorial coming on my YouTube channel so make sure you go & Subscribe, it's FREE! 

OOTD- A Reyna Lay Creation

Hey guys, so I'm excited to show you a new creation by yours truly! I bought this fabric for a dollar in a big bag of fabrics at the thrift store. It had different fabrics but much to my surprise it had this beautiful silk printed fabric and a silk/cotton blend fabric in turquoise. I loved it. I didn't have enough of the print fabric so I thought I'd add it on the front as a pop of something cute. I didn't have a dress that had the overlapping front so I went for it on this dress. I've never done anything like this so I hope you like it. I really like that it looks like a skirt & a cute shirt and can be worn with or without the belt. What do you think? Love it? 

The shoes are UNLISTED brand and I got them for only $5 at a store called SHOE CARNIVAL. Savings! The earrings are also my own creation and the turquoise bracelets are thrifted and the pretty glass lavender one is gifted from my hubby's mom, handmade. 

[btw: my 5 year old took my pictures for this OOTD bc hubby was at work & stated that the only requirement was that he would also get his own outfit post. So I have added his pictures at the end. lol]

Menswear OOTD

I felt so inspired to do a menswear OOTD. I've been finding some great photos on Menswear and I recently bought some slacks so I thought, "why not?"Here is my inspiration, I hope you love my outfit! Don't forget to check out my Youtube channel, I posted a ton of new Hauls and OOTD's there! Don't forget to Subscribe, it's FREE :)

I love all these different outfits, I just took my spin on it with the things I had. I used my dark mustard 100% Silk shirt that I got for only a quarter in one of my thrift hauls and the pants are also a quarter find. The pumps are my comfiest pair of heels and I got them at Payless. The necklace? I can't remember, but it wasn't a quarter. lol. Leopard Bracelet: Gifted, Earrings: Vintage, Clutch: Guess.
