Cute Cheap Dress of the Day 13

August 1, 2011

Love this updated 50's style peppermint tulle skirt paired with a fitted sweater.
But shipping is at least $19.99. And increases about $5 for every item you add. 
And not all their stuff you can buy individually. This skirt is one of the items you can buy by piece.
Still, $25.40 for this skirt is not too bad.

Ideas 22: Soft Grass Rug

Okay! I'd seriously love to make a really large version of this for the girls room. I'd add flowers that grew up out of the grass and a few toadstools, maybe one big one for sitting. Wouldn't that be the CUTEST?! Question is, how long would it take? I wonder if there would be an easier way using mesh and cow hitch knots. Either way, it sounds endless.
