I’m so excited to have Meredith from Yours, Mine and Ours here today. Why? Because A. She’s hilarious! B. She needs to go down in Wikipedia as “Inventor of Freepiling” and C. We’re real life friends. Yep, I know you’re jealous. We totally went to college together and she freepiled all the laundry rooms around town then too.

Anyways, Meredith’s blog is full of great stuff. I love her apartment tour, it’s so cute and way creative. If you don’t know what freepiling is read her definition. And check out her outfit pictures:
I told you, she’s hilarious.

Today Meredith is showing us how to tranform a freepiled muumuu into a cute dress for your Valentine’s date:
hot date dress



Are you down in the dumps because all you have to wear for 
Valentines Day is that same old muumuu? 
Yeah, I was too. 

But then I decided to get to work and turn my frumpy muumuu into a fun 50’s dress that will rock his socks!

And you can too! 
Here’s how:
  • Cut off that unnecessary collar (I saved mine for future projects that might require Sailor Moon-like add-ons. You never know.) 

  •  Pin up and hem the sleeves to desired shorter length.

  • Pull out one of your fave belts and use it to wrangle in all that extra fabric!
Now, go get your date on. 
No more frump, just good old fashioned cute dressing!
…
Thanks for letting me come by and share today!
