Susan's NDAD Creation

Reader Susan is the best! She crafted something totally summer-perfect that is quite easy to make using all of those tank tops that accumulate in your closet. When my nice tanks get spotted or spilled on (I'm always spilling something...), they get put into my "gym pile" to wear when I work out. Here's another genius way to recycle them. Cut off the bottom portion of it and craft that tank into one of these...

I love your blog and love your daily inspiration and wanted to let you know. Thanks for keeping it up! I started noticing the new trend in stores of skirts attached to tanks, which if strategically placed, will cover the erhmmm excess in the middle :) JOY AND YAY!  So I went to goodwill and found a few pieces that I liked for the fabric.

The dress that I found is perfectly OK, but nothing I would even consider wearing on a daily casual basis, which is how I like my dresses. 

New Dress A Day - vintage dress

See how Susan turns this into her perfect, casual dress!

I removed the top portion of the dress and added a tank instead. I also shortened the dress a bit to hit above the knees - voila!!

New Dress A Day - vintage dress

It's very comfy and totally casual for wearing around the house and even to Walmart LOLs =) I will have to turn the top part of this dress into a peplum shirt for the next go!

I love easy, summer dresses like these. Totally comfortable, super cute, and ready for an afternoon BBQ or just a veg day running errands! Rock it out sista!! Love how you're working out your refashioning skills. Keep up the fabulous outfits!
