wardrobe remix column in adorn magazine!

remix_redux in adorn magazine

i just wanted to share: i now have a wardrobe_remix column in adorn magazine! the article features fabulous photographs of stellar, stylish wardrobe_remix participants. this is the first of a continuing series, featuring spring-ready skirts and dresses, and the photographs of vlada, isabelle hayes, melissa di mauro, jessica rolland, and jill danyelle (of the great sustainable style blog fiftyRX3).

the article is in the spring 2007 issue...i'm really proud of how it turned out! thanks, adorn!

btw, the whole magazine is pretty fabulous, and features a lot of names and creative work of names you might recognize, such as lisa congdon, melissa dettloff, shannon okey, susan beal, and an interview with amy sedaris. (an aside: i love amy...her new book "I Like You" was given to me as an xmas gift, and it made me laugh so hard i seriously almost peed myself. it's THAT good.)

go get it!

dress doctor

just a quick check in...since it feels like it's been forever. and it has. but i have a litany of excuses:

a.) working, working, working.
b.) pete got the flu. i took care of him while he was sick.
c.) subsequently, i got the flu. this post is actually an ill-advised dispatch my from my fever-addled brain. i feel like "poop on a stick" (my fave silly expression to say when i feel like doo-doo).

anyway, before i got sick, i did some restyling on some thrift finds:

i've been like a dress doctor lately, fixing up dresses i find at thrifts that need a little surgery to make them more wearable, more me.

one: got new buttons along the sleeves (which are open, it's pretty neat), and was shortened quite a bit.

two: was shortened, and has a tie in the back to tighten the bust, made from fabric that was trimmed off from the bottom.

three: used to be strapless. shortened it, and used the trimmed off portion to form the straps.

four: hacked off the bottom, made a channel for elastic, so it has a bubble shape. more of a tunic length now.

back to bed. *cough* more in a few days when i'm feeling more human.
