Return of the Frankenstein Dress & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #727
Do you remember the Frankenstein dresses that I made last summer? Archie coined the term “Frankenstein dress” because I take parts of other garments and combine them to make a new and different garment. Similar to the way that Dr. Frankenstein took parts from other bodies and put them together to create his monster. This is another Frankenstein dress from last summer’s projects. I still have another one that I haven’t even worn yet. For this particular upcycle project, I used this graphic tee shirt from four years ago and a brown knit maxi skirt that I have had forever. I don’t think I have ever successfully styled this skirt…

Something in the Orange & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #720
I hope the title didn’t confuse you into thinking this was a Songful Style post featuring Zach Bryan’s Something in the Orange. I do really like that song although I find the lyrics a bit confusing. I guess that makes my confusing title appropriate, after all. I suppose a more relevant title would have been Something About Orange because there really is something special about this vibrant and energizing color. But there truly is something in the orange of my dress…it’s a bunch of beautiful white leopards! When you combine the meanings represented by the color of my dress and the symbolism of leopards, not only is this outfit eye-catching,…
