Kitten Heels and Leopard Leg / Arm Warmers...

okay, I'll admit that these pink and leopard print stilletos are waaaay over the top but the metallic hot pink leatherette was peeling off from these shoes and I decided to peel it off completely from the top and apply this animal print with permanent markers...they're for sale on Etsy if you like...

I also found these leg warmers which are being presented here as arm warmers, so they're double-duty, if you will, anyway...these will probably not go so well with the slides above but they will go great with any brown, beige or khaki shoes... I'm including them here because they can be repurposed as arm warmers...

Confetti Skirt and Scarf

I'm really into long flowey skirts these days, paired with simple t's or slinky tops, like here, and I had some of this confetti patterned silk jacquard material from the 90's; the scarf will also double as a belt or sash for the hair. Time to wear it...this ain't no dress rehersal...wear it baby...about time...

Baby, Do You Like My Button?

a repurposed rhinestone and pearl button now a nifty necklace...yeahhhhhh!!!

Army Surplus Style Duffle Coat RePurposed / ReDesigned

I picked up this duffle bag of a coat in the 1990's for a couple of bucks at a clearance sale. Didn't touch it for a couple of decades and since they're IN this season, I redid the loooooong sleeves by shortening them and adding elastic to give them a cinched look, and then took in the waist by cinching the cord tie at the waist and hey, it's BEAUTIFUL!!!

looks cute with this crinkly rose print skirt with a broad black band...the cutesy skirt also gets a bit toughened up...but I think I'll wear it with skinny jeans or leggings...

ReDesigned Boots

here they are the pair of imported Chinese made boots that began to peel even before their first wear. I gave up and peeled off whatever I could and added these leather patches, secured by a little red embroidery thread and turned them into argyle patterned boots!!! Ladies...NEVER THROW ANYTHING AWAY... hehe ;-)

Lariat Necklace ReDone

I'd made this Rosary Lariat with a cross that I felt was too somber and religious to wear for everyday use. So I decided to repurpose it and put a tooled design heart from the 1980's that I'd stopped wearing... I'm sure this necklace will get regular use from now on! Thanks Mike, The Situation, Sorrentino from Jersey Shore to remind me of this ReDesign that needed to get done...

and here's the old Lariat Rosary Necklace with strong religious overtones...

Mike Sorrentino a.k.a. the Situation shown here with his many layers of lariats...party on...
I will be catching you on mtv.com for archived full episodes, Mike, and never again will I ever view the expression "the situation" in the same manner again! hehe ;~) um no, I don't think you can Trade Mark or patent that expression either... j.k. ...
