Spring Cleaning and New Creations


Spring is technically a little more than a month away, but yesterday morning was so beautiful that I decided to get a jump start on my spring cleaning.  And the first stop on the cleaning route was my closet...

I don't have a hard time getting rid of things.  If I haven't worn it at all in the last three months, then it is gone without a second thought, if I've only worn it once or twice, it's put in a consideration pile which I go through at the end of the cleaning.  Then there is the final category which is alterations.  I am a huge fan of alterations.  If you aren't wearing it the way it is, perhaps there is something you can fix on it to make it more your style.


I am a huge fan of alterations and have been doing so many recently I feel like I've been spending most of my time with a thread and needle in my hand!

The most common alterations that I find help me like a piece of clothing are 1. shorting the hem line on weird, calf length skirts and dresses and 2. adjusting the neckline on t-shirts, ect.  These two things can make a world of difference to the way you see your clothes.

But, really the best way to understand what I mean is to see it.  Expect pictures soon.
