Refashioned Denim Vest

This vest was an item I quickly snatched up in the swap-off...thanks Toya!!  This was a quick, sit in front of your t.v. and watch "Ancient Aliens" episodes on Netflix type of refashion.  All I did was swap out the blue-gemed buttons for these monogrammed ("T", "L", "P") brass buttons.  I've had these  buttons since 2008.  I purchased them to add to my wedding bouquet...didn't get to use them, but I knew they would definitely be used in the future.   So here we are 3 years later and a fly denim vest.  I love the way it came out.

Unwanted Items + Great Friends = A SWAP-OFF!

This past Friday, I hosted our 1st Swap-Off.  What's that you ask? Simply put, my girlfriends and I gathered items of clothing, home decor, hats, purses, backpacks, shoes, smell goods that we no longer used or needed and traded them.  I set up the items on individual tables...trying to separate according to the appropriate category (accessories, shoes, outerwear, home decor, etc.)  I was able to get some snazz items to add to my autumn wardrobe.  We ALL bought great things to the table (literally lol) and left with much needed/wanted stuff. Whatever was left at the end of the night were donated to Goodwill.  We has such a BLAST!!!  I can't wait to do it again...maybe we'll make it a seasonal event.  What ya think ladies??
