Cheap and Easy thrills...

that's how I roll.

Today's challenge was menswear.  The main rule was that you had to wear a tie.  I didn't have a tie so I ran to the local goodwill to see what I could get my hands on. 

While I've never had the desire to wear a tie, I have always been enamoured with all the fun patterns and colors available, this was no different at Goodwill.  I couldn't decide on one tie I liked the best and had several in my hands when I realized I had a couple that paired nicely together...then it struck me!  Sew 2 together and make a belt!!  I seriously couldn't get home fast enough.

I'm kind of crazy about how this turned out on so many levels.  I love anything tied in a bow (although this look is equally adorable tied in a simple knot) and I super loved the mixing of patterns. 
I also picked up some miss matched stripes that I can't wait to try out as well.  The possibilities are endless...and at $3 a piece, this is a cheap and easy DIY thrill!
