Recent Refashion

Well, Sarah, you're going to be peeved, but I did a refashion.

Ok so this adorable Anthropologie light blue sweater(ish) thing has been in my sister's closet at my parent's house for YEARS! My sister no longer lives at the house because she is married and lives with a boy now, but this little number didn't make the cut when she made the move. I have been crushing on it every time I've been home this semester, trying to figure out what the dang thing looks right with. I came to the conclusion that it looks right with NOTHING...so I had to fix it.

Here's how it started. Really cute, but when you put it on, the sleeves are excessively long and won't stay pushed up on me.

So I cut them shorter and made a cuff

Lastly...I had some extra fabric left over from the shortened sleeves, so I added little bows to the sleeves!

So, anyway, I'm excited to finally be able to wear it! And Sarah, feel free to take advantage of the update....or I guess you could technically take it back if you really wanted to......................... : /

Happy Holidays! I'm hoping to be able to do a lot more refashion projects over the break, so stay tuned!

Nothin but love,

Home sweet construction site

Hey y'all! Finals and Songfest {I'll explain} are over so I am a real person again! I just arrived in Dallas this afternoon after finishing up the semester at A&M. My parents are doing a lot of work on our house, and the three times I have been home this semester, it has made a little progress after each visit! The house looks great so far, but we're keeping our fingers crossed to not be hosting a crew of sweaty, paint-covered men for Christmas dinner.


So Songfest...let me try to wrap this up in a nutshell for those of you with question marks above your heads...{ya know...where the hypothetical "idea light bulb" would go} Songfest is a philanthropic event put on by the Chi-O's at A&M that all sororities and men's organizations are invited to participate in. Each sorority participating pairs up with a men's organization to make a team. Generally, each group chooses their own theme/story line and gets 7 minutes to put on a mini show. People sing some, and dance a lot!

I have always loved Songfest, and have been attending ever since my sister was in charge of Theta's show when she was at A&M. Well, this year I was in charge! I lead with my friend, Amy. We were paired with BCA {Brotherhood of Christian Aggies}. And when I say "paired", I mean that I pressured my friend, Matt who is in BCA, to be in charge of it on his end and do it with us. Theta is pretty notorious for putting on a good show at songfest. When Sarah (my sister) was in charge, they got first place, and then second. As long as I have been a Theta at A&M, we got second place my freshman year...first place my sophomore year (!)...and FIRST PLACE THIS YEAR!!

It was a LOT of hard work, but when we got that trophy, and giant check for our own philanthropy it was well worth it. I'm going to try to post a video so that y'all might be more understanding of my absence for the past month...

My friend, and fellow KAT, Grace took a video of us performing on stage, but since it's not my video, I can't post it. I'll have to post the one I took at our last practice. Please believe me that this video does not do the actual performance justice. Promise!

I'm the one in the blue tank top nervously putting my hair behind my ears in the beginning

Songfest!

Enjoy :)
