Doin' it on the Cheap : D.I.Y

polaroidbanner-all-names-02
Welcome to Doin' it on the Cheap!

Doin' it on the Cheap is a bi-weekly feature about putting outfits together while on a budget.
There are three blogs involved.
1. corazones rojos - gabby
2. good stuff only - amelia
3. and myself

We are three girls, in three different cities, in two different countries, with three different views. The one thing that we most definitely share is our love for thrift clothes and the sale rack. We live busy lives, balancing school, work, a marriage, bills, and saving for the future. We are here to show you that you dont need to spend a lot of money on clothes. Whether you follow the current trends or have your own personal style, you can do it on the cheap!

Every two weeks, we will pick a theme and we will each show our take on it, on each of our respective blogs.

So, here is the latest instalment : D.I.Y. Each one of our outfits will show an item that we have made/altered in some way.

Before:

june08-015

After:

june14-01

dress - thrift
shoes - thrift






please check out gabby and amelia's blogs for their takes on D.I.Y.

The three of us will take turns in choosing each theme. If any readers have any suggestions or would like to put in a request to any of us, feel free to do so and we can always take that into consideration when choosing the next theme or outfit.
email any suggestion to nofutvre@gmail.com

  3. This definitely encourages me to buy new dresses. You don't know how many I'd have to mentally reject because it's too long.
