Making Us Cuter Challenge

Did everyone have a cute week?

What was your favorite outfit that you wore, if you didn't link up, I still want to hear about it!

My favorite thing linked up last week were these shoes modeled by the lovely Alyssa at Moda Chic Boutique-LOVE!Speaking of SHOES! Did you have a chance to win the $99 pair of blingy summer shoes yet-if not, take a second and enter HERE.

Now did anyone take on the challenge from last week? To use this inspiration outfit and make it into your own?Remember, I'm doing these challenges too, and I don't plan on finding something that works for me and then going and finding an inspiration piece to suit me...oh no, I want to be challenged as well!

When I posted this last week, my idea was to go to a thrift store, find some ugly big old lacey thing even if it was a table cloth and make it cuter. Well I searched every thrift store in my little town and nobody had anything lacey....grrrr!

So I decided to make my own lace dress-something I have never done before. I made one and it was adorable, but then I realized I had made it much too small, and there was no stretch! So I gave that to my unbelievably skinny friend and made me a new one.

So I made two dresses this week! I made the second one big, but I like it, because then I can bunch it in the front with a belt or sash.

I added little rosettes to the neckline to bring in the flowers from the cardigan, and wore cowboy boots just to be a little different, though I am now on the lookout for some cute blue flats! :)

I will be sharing how I made this dress on Tuesday, but for now-let's see next week's challenge shall we?

Get some or all of these pieces here.

Okay, so this from Ruche's spring look book as well, we just may go through the whole look book since I love it all so much, but need to modify some for modesty sake...but the pictures and the styles are all soooo beautiful! It's easy to get inspiration from such beautiful pictures isn't it?

SO how are you going to make this look your own? Pull things out of your own closet, make something or buy something if you're so inclined, just make it your own look-get inspired and be cute!

Link up your cute outfits and if you participate in the challenge, be sure to link that up and leave me a comment! I can't wait to see what you (and I) come up with! (Link Back) (Link other places)
