Being broke causes you to reuse your clothing in the most creative ways.

If you remember this skirt here, then you’ll surely recognize it now as a dress. I wore this completely comfortable ensemble for work. Working in visuals again reminds me how exhausting and painful it is to be on your feet all day. However, my job is beyond amazing. Being creative is my ultimate outlet and getting to set the tone for a company is just a small extension of my creativity.

I also have another little treat for you that I think I’ll be adding into my Style Shot posts. Tell me what you think- do you want to see more videos?

      Glad you like love! I’m thinking of keeping the video around. It brings it to life so-to-speak! :)

    Ooh, the pink under the skirt…what a treat! Never would have seen it without the video!

    You know what they say…necessity is the mother of invention. I think it’s awesome to reinvent and rework your own pieces!

      Yeah, what’s crazy is, is that it was an accidental bleach accident before I bought it but it came out so great! So exciting!! :) And it looks awesome. Necessity is the mother of invention is a great saying!

      Aww Aimee, I’m sorry the videos never work for you. I don’t know how to get them viewable in other countries!

    That cross necklace is soo rad. Love it! That shade of blue really flatters you :)

      It’s an Ankh and definitely my favorite jewelry piece. I’m thinking I need more blues and greens in my life because I’m such a magenta, bright-colored girl. Hmmm. Time for a change! :)

    Love how you did that! Yes, you’re right – being broke does cause you to be creative (and in my case late to everything as I can’t decide what to wear LOL.) Love the necklace, too. :)

    More videos!
