My Before Makeover Face:) |
As many of you know I am a busy work at home mom of three kids. My daily wardrobe is extremely casual. I live in sweats, and it is not unusual for me to wear pajamas all day (if I have no where to go:) I know I need help right??? I knew Sade Jones was the right person for the job when I saw how impeccably dressed she is. ALWAYS! I just look at her and think to myself, “I remember back before I had kids. I actually dressed cute on a regular basis”. One thing we both have in common is we like to shop at the thrift store. Read on to see how Sade helped me spice up my wardrobe with clothes from the thrift store.
Who:
Rachel O.
What:
Bohemian Inspired Makeover
When:
Summer Season 2011
How: I went into the thrift store already knowing the look I wanted for Rachel would include long skirts (which are so in this season.) She informed me that she was not too fond of long skirts, and this inspired me to take her a little out of her comfort zone . I grabbed a few printed skirts, bright colored tops, and vintage belts that I knew would add a pop of color.
Where:
Unique Thrift Store
