3 Different Looks Just for Fun.


I have two sisters. Both are beautiful. Both are models/dancers/pageant girls. Me not so much. While I enjoy Polynesian dancing and am comfortable on stage, I tend to shy away from anything else that puts me under the spotlight...including solo pictures (which is why I bought a body form to display my projects after months of taking REALLY awkward pictures of myself). Anyways...when the talented LeeYen Lobendahn approached me and asked if I'd be willing to model some of my DIY projects in a photo shoot, it took a lot of self persuasion to agree. LeeYen was awesome though and made me feel very comfortable. We were able to shoot 3 outfits before the sun disappeared over the horizon. 
This is actually my ruffle dress that I made a couple months back, but my sister (who was my stylist and make up artist) dressed it up a little with a creamy colored top and black vest.

This skirt was an old granny skirt that I bought at secondhand store for $6. I altered it quite a bit and turned it into a high waisted, knee length skirt with ruffles around the pockets.
Another originally granny-styled skirt that I bought at DI. It was quite ugly but I really wanted a red skirt at the time and saw it's potential. I cut, adjusted, and sewed it to exactly how I wanted and it now serves as one of my most favorite and comfortable skirts to wear.
