From oldies gala dress to stunning kimono

One of my favorite past times has to be thrift shopping. The feeling of finding old garments and recreating to make the garment completely new again. I went to a Goodwill that I normally do not visit. To me - in "thrifting prices" sense I felt like this particular Goodwill could be "overpriced."

*Gasp*

I know, I know. Goodwill proceeds go to good causes. This is what I have to remember - but being as broke as I am, I like to save every penny (obviously.)

I walked in expecting three fashion trends that I am eyeing : Skinny scarves (Because, hello, Chloe's Fall 2016 is to die for - and every look is dolled up with a skinny scarf),
Plain white tee to go with my 311's Levi's,
silky, satin, lace slip/pajama top ( I am loving the whole should be bedroom wear but I am going to wear it out wear.)

I first went to the white tee's - easily picked one up because they are almost obvious to find. Then I began to gather items and walk my way to the fitting rooms where I stopped dead in my tracks! I will have to post the video down below...because, it explains it better!

I was easily able to pull through the seams of the back and through the zipper. I could tell it's an old garment due to how easy it was to be able to unseam it all! Thank god, I did not chose to cut it all the way up! About ten minutes late I had my very long, but very cool kimono!

While I was walking up to the cash wrap of the Goodwill. I got stopped 3 times! Everyone was asking what I planned on doing to this garment! Like I said, the goodwill is amazing for a creative afternoon of altering with a cup of coffee in hand.

I adore this,
