diy: Sweater Tube Scarf
I was so close to buying one of these about a month ago – but then I forced myself to walk away, reminding myself that it could easily be DIY’d. I made this one with a thrifted Mens’ sweater that cost me an entire $4 at Goodwill, making it way less than most store bought …

diy: Half & Half Jeans
I love simple things that manage to make a statement. Two color jeans are the perfect example – plus, they’re so easy to make. It’s also a great way to bring a little life to an old pair of jeans (because you know almost all of us have at least one pair we don’t …
