They also all come in extended sizes and widths but availability may be limited because these are discontinued styles. I actually…

DIY Corduroy Wrap & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #728
Happy Friday, y’all! Today I am sharing a brown corduroy wrap that I made for myself last summer. I actually already shared this piece for a thrifty style challenge last August when I first made it. I found the lightweight brown corduroy fabric on the clearance shelf at JOANN. I was drawn to the tribal symbols and the little embroidered figures of men on horses, but I also considered that the print might not be very respectful to indigenous peoples. Probably the reason the fabric was on sale. But it was there, super inexpensive, wanting me to buy it because I adore all things that represent the indigenous tribes of…

Adventures in Thrifting Part 17: Plaid Waterfall Vest & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #726
I am falling back on my old reliable adventures in thrifting today because I have been so busy, y’all. Busy and lazy. If that’s possible. I guess in the little down time I have between all the busy, I really just want to be lazy, so I am. I have had Carolina on my mind and in my heart recently and have been sending prayers daily to everyone who has been impacted by hurricane season this year. To honor my beloved Smoky Mountains, I am featuring this adorable plaid waterfall vest that I picked up in a thrift store in North Carolina when I went on my road trip in…
