Hi! I'm the owner of TheBusyNothings.com. I've been married to my college sweetheart Ben for 10 years and I'm passionate about my 2 little boys- one of whom has special needs. I love being real about my life and struggles and seek to understand God and chase his beauty. I enjoy cooking healthy/gluten-free, fashion from thrift stores and exercise to keep my sanity. I work from home, freelance writing and social media consulting with bloggers and small businesses. I am slowly figuring out how to balance family life and work. I love connecting with people, contact me at TheBusyNothings@gmail.com

I'm 23. I'm married to the best guy in town. I enjoy sunsets and long walks to the fridge. The gracious owner of The Busy Nothings, Heidi, has asked me to be a regular contributor on her blog, and I am so happy to be a part of such an amazing group! Bear with me as I grow into this 'writing' business. For now, you'll get a little laughter, a little wit, and a whole lot of heart from me.

  • There are rocking chairs in the Harrisburg, PA airport. This feels oddly like I'm at a Cracker Barrel.

A Fine Dime: Belting Baggy Dresses

Published January 9, 2012 | By Heidi

I am a collector of other people’s hand-me-downs, thrift store scraps and garage sale discards.

This dress was featured in my original post at NWA Motherloade but I never really said where I got the stuff so I decided to revisit this picture. I love grey!  This dress was off a rack at a Goodwill in Boulder, CO. I think that I’ve said this before, but anytime you travel, visit the local Goodwill and thrift stores! It was not the prettiest dress but I imagined it with a belt and decided that it would work well. Now it’s one of my favorite go-to outfits when I don’t have time to plan.

 

-grey dress, $6, Goodwill, Old Navy dress.

-white sweater, $7 Target clearance rack.

-white belt, $3, Plato’s Closet.

-necklace, $1, estate sale

-boots, $60, sale at Warren’s. My Christmas present last year!

(not shown, grey fishnets, $2, Rue 21 clearance bin OR re-purposed smart wool ski socks)
