3 Dollar Romper

Last week I found a skirt at the Salvation Army that I thought I could upcycle into a cute romper. 

Here is the result:

An exercise in restraint

As of May, I'm not buying any new clothes for a year. I'm letting myself spend $365 on used clothing and materials to make clothes. So far I've totaled $5.34. I've made a skirt out of an old bed sheet, a tank top out of a man's t-shirt, and cut off shorts out of some thrifted denim.

Lately, I've been seriously coveting a cute romper for biking and some summery shoes.

Souvenirs

Even though we were on a budget during our vacation, we still managed to make a few key purchases.

Owl Candle from Mystery Mister

Hand Shadows from the store at 826 Valencia
 

know-it-all pencil set from The Curiosity Shoppe
 

Pint glass* from Powell's Books

Fisherman's Soap from Made In Oregon

*We also bought books, but they weren't really exciting enough to post here. Also, note that John K. King Used and Rare Books is still my favorite bookstore ever.
