Summer is coming and that means we will be breaking out the sunnies! I wear mine year round but summer makes me think about them more often. May as well look chic wearing them. Here are 9 ways to dress them up. DIY Pearl sunglasses by a pair and a spare

I have a couple of pairs of thong sandals that I love to wear, but sometimes I think they are a little plain. Last year, I intended to add a little something to my black pair, but just didn't get around to it. When I came across this idea from Setting for Four , I was glad I had not done the previous makeover I had in mind. What I was originally going to do would have been permanent. Shoe clips are a genious idea! I can add the flowers when I want, or leave them off. So I tried my hand at making my own. Here are my flowers. I cut eight circles for each one and pinched the middles and stitched them together, one by one as I pinched the middles.

I finally got brave and tried my hand at making a skirt from a men's shirt. Hubby put some shirts out for a yard sale last year and they didn't sell. I held back a couple of them from the Goodwill pile. Here's what I started with: Here's the end result:

Doilies have become quite a trend over the past couple of years. Here are three projects that caught my eye that I'd like to try. Painted doily canvas bag- Just Sew Sassy Painted doily tee- Maybe Matilda This last one doesn't use a doily, but if it works for the shirt, then I think it would work on a skirt too.

I have quite a collection of cardigans. I must say that sometimes they get a little boring. Here's five ways to refashion a cardigan- something that's on my "to do" list. One Pearl Button Pink lemonade Loft inspired by Sew Petite Gal Flamingo Toes Honor Roll 

Old t-shirts or cheap Dollar Store shirts make easy, inexpensive projects. Here are three projects using t-shirts on my must do list!

I posted about some tank refashions a couple of weeks   a month ago that were on my "must do" list. I finally had a free day this week and made myself  a tank based on the Loft inspired tank at Ruffles and Stuff. No need to rewrite a good tutorial, so hop on over there if you want to make one. I picked up the tanks at Wal-mart last year. My measurements differ a little from hers because I can't cut straight and when I get finished making things straight, I've lost some of the length and or width. Once I got my ruffle sewn on the shirt, I thought the same thing Disney did about covering the center with lace. I didn't sew my lace in a U shape, I just sewed a straight piece down the middle.

There are a ton of ways to refashion a man's dress shirt into something cute for us ladies. Today I'm going to focus on some top refashions that I'd like to try. (We'll look at skirts during another week.)

I didn't get a chance to photograph any outfits this week for WWIW at The Pleated Poppy , but some photos were taken of me over the last couple of weekends. I'm wearing some of my diy/refashioned items.

There are lots of tank top refashions and embellishments out there in blogland. Here are a few I've bookmarked to try: Doily tank from I Am Momma Hear Me Roar
