Day 64
This day belongs to Helena.

"Expensive jewelry to finish an outfit? No way! Just some imagination and creativity. "

What’s this?

During Sheena’s year-long challenge, we made 365 limited edition copies of the little black dress. U.P friends who purchased a dress could ‘own’ a day from Sheena’s dailies, as a way to memorialize their support. The funds raised from dress sales were also put towards supporting the kids :)

Artbeat and Candy

Assortment of handmade bow pins donated by Beatrice. Visit her Etsy store at www.dearbeatrice.etsy.com. Preowned tee converted to headscarf, and vintage pumps from eBay.

Thanks PBS.org ArtBeat for the coverage today. And thank you Daily Candy!

Creative! Love the colors . . . (And it gives me some inspiration about what to do with some vintage bow ties from my family from the 40s/50s.) Happy 4th!

Brilliant, creative, clever. How are the bows attached? It looks like there is a rope of some sort around your neck. Oh, and I love the shoes!
