Total Cost: $6
You.guys. I'm about to bust a fool. I don't necessarily know what bust a fool really means but it sounds completely appropriate for this situation. Here's the deal, the 411, the low down. I'm a really trusting person. I like to think the best of everyone. If someone has wronged me, I try to think that I've been misinformed before I go all crazy eyes on 'em. If a stranger came up to me and asked if they could take my firstborn to their candy shop...nah just kidding I'm not that much of an idiot. The point, I trust people.

Well the bubble has been bursted.
Yesterday in the bubble of all bubbles. Brigham Young University, the place where people breathe sunshine and rabbits poop rainbows and lollipops grow in fields, my bike was stolen. Yeah it sucks that my bike was stolen and all, but the worst part is that now I'm all suspicious of the man. Yesterday someone tried to hug me and I kicked them in the shins because I thought they were trying to lift my wallet, I saw some guy chasing another guy and I told Matt someone was being followed outside and made him go check it out. Turns out it was just a boy trying to catch up with his friend and Matt ended up looking a little odd.
What has become of me???
I think I need to buy a kitten or perhaps befriend an elderly woman named Ruth to cure me of my suspicions. In the mean time, I made some shots of what the thief might look like, you know just take my face out of the equation and I think it should be right on the money.
So have you seen the thief?!
That is UNREAL! You are amazing!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry about your bike! The world will gain your trust back... it just takes time.
ReplyDeleteBut, oh. my. gosh. Your clothes makeovers are so amazingly fantastic. I just can't believe it! How long did this dress take you to re-do? What was the hardest part? The armpits?

ReplyDeleteI NEED to know where those amazing shoes are from!!! That dress refashion is incredible, and now I want to run straight to the DI and find one of my own to refashion!
That dress is amazing - how did you do that!! Seriously, you should post a tutorial on how you did that - I would love to learn!
ReplyDeleteI seriously need to know how you altered that dress lady! I'm learning to sew & I would love the pointers! Btw, I'm in shock that someone would steal your bike on BYU. That's just crazy talk. :( I hope you get a new one soon . .
ReplyDeleteI pretty much am in love with your dress...
ReplyDeleteSorry about your bike. Mean/klepto people suck.

ReplyDeleteFirst of all, the dress is adorable. Sorry to hear about your bike! I am a very trusting person too and I hate when it gets taken advantage of. Also, you are so funny in your pics always. Thanks for the laugh.

This looks amazing! Your thief faces are so innocent, no one would suspect you of stealing!
ReplyDeleteAwww, that sucks! I cannot imagine the horror of having my bike stolen. Which is why I kind of rarely ride it to go places. I'm not trusting.
ReplyDeleteThat dres is fab! I am so so impressed by your skills. This looks like a dress Rachel Berry would wear, which I mean as a highest compliment!
Amazing dress reviver and witty to boot! Loved this post, and you'll find your Ruth or kitten to help you bring back your old trusting self soon enough!

The dress is so amazing! I love how you rework otherwise frumpy 80's/90's frocks into outfits that are totally wearable. It also reminds me of this little lady, http://bit.ly/mSjt0S

Lame about your bike! You crack me up though.
ReplyDeleteAnd I LOVE the dress. I have a million thrifted dresses to repurpose, but I don't have the creativity you do, so they've just been sitting there. I would have never thought something that cute could come from something.... like that. :)
Sorry to hear about your bike...
ReplyDeleteBut, how did you save that dress?! It is beyond amazing! Gorgeous! Fabulous!

ReplyDeleteI'm going to show these pictures to my Sewing Pile and say "See? See what you could become if we could only work together?! Soon my pretties, soon."
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry about your bike. I'd love to have a bike but I live in a particularly hilly and cobbly-streeted park of the world. I hope you regain your trust in the world - people have told me I'm too trusting (OK, gullible) sometimes, but I think it's way better than being scared and cynical.
This is amazing!! I wish I had your talent...
