Red Pencil Skirt $6

Urban Weeds

I've posted about Urban Weeds before but I just had to share the latest post. Isn't he adorable! I thought it was great timing since I just launched Dashing last week.

I LOVE this blog because I feel like I can still get some urban culture in my life even though I'm stuck in the middle of Idaho for the time being.

Extend Your Skirt

So I have a favorite dress that I always feel uncomfortable wearing because its just a tad too short to me. So I decided to change it.

I decided to add lace to the bottom of my skirt but I just wanted it to poke out of the bottom. I've had a cheap slip for forever that I hardly ever wear and a peice of lace I got as part of a wedding gift.

I marked where the slip hit the bottom of my dress and cut it off.

Then I cut the portion of the lace I wanted to stick out.

Then I simply sewed the two pieces together using the widest zig-zag stitch I could, because of the lace.

What do you think?

Use your imagination! You can put lace on the bottom of your skirt/dress or make a slip like mine. Or don't use lace at all! Use tulle fabric, or just a cute cotton print. Here are some other cute examples I found on the web:

Dashing. for cute boys on the go

I have offically opened my very own ETSY shop! I have been trying to get this up and running for a while now so I can't believe its finally up. I'm very excited (and a little scared?) of this new undertaking and hope you all enjoy it! Please check it out

Meet Caleb

I work with Caleb's mom and he comes with her to our weekly manager's meeting. He is the best dressed boy I have seen in Rexburg! Every week I am impressed with his outfits and this week I couldn't resist taking a picture of him! Eat your heart out....

Fashion On A Small Budget

I was raised by a coupon cutting, sale watching, saver mother. Her budget always conflicted with my want for clothes. I learned early on how to look cute but not break the bank (I am glad since the "bank" is no longer mommy). H&M came out with a cute/short video on some tips about looking great but saving money.

I also have some great friend you should check out too...
