If You Can't Buy It - Make It

I don't know if you remember me saying that the first thing I was going to buy after the 30x30 buying freeze was a pair of red pants.

Well, I have been looking ever since.  Sure~ I could find a pair if I was the same weight and shape I was when I was twelve or I had somehow just won the lottery.  Otherwise, I was flat out of luck.

I gave up hope on my red pants quest until a laundry mishap last week.  Remember these light pink pants?  Well, someone (no one has confessed yet) washed them with a dark blue something or other.  They came out of the wash with blue streaks all over them.  I tried everything to get the blue out, but to no avail.

Light bulb moment!  Dye them red!

They came out with even color and no streaks at all.  I maybe would have liked them to be a tad darker, but I am not complaining.

I paired my newly dyed jeans with the cutest little tee and cardigan.

I pulled out the wedge sandals and I was good to go.

How cute is the tee? 

It has sequins and lace!

  I got it at The Loft for 30% off and used up the last bit of a gift card.

  It was practically free.

  Confession time: 

The wedge heels only lasted for the pictures. 

It was much colder and wetter outside than I thought.

  I knew I was going to be in and out all day,

so I switched to a pair of blue flats. 

Not as cute I will say,

but they were more appropriate to the weather.

Now it is your turn 

to go find something in your closet

and 

revamp it. 

This wasn't hard and I got just what I wanted

and 

spent a whole $1.49!
