Oooh! Those are lovely photographs. I love ensemble with the plaid skirt and the dark gray sweater; it looks so cozy and the hairstyle they paired it with is just adorable. The picture of
the girl with the single braid wearing a beret reminds me a little bit of Jill Pole; perhaps what she'd look like at the beginning of
The Silver Chair. I think it's the expression and color palette; that outfit looks as though it would fit nicely with a "dull autumn day".

No worries, I love nicknames! Receiving them
and giving them.
Those brown sandals look so cute and comfortable,
Valia! I love the style of the boots, too. They look like they would go really well with some nice leggings or a pair of colored tights and a skirt. Perfect for fall and winter!

Has anyone else refashioned clothes?
Lol, usually when I re-purpose clothes, it means that I've turned them into pajamas.
Over-cloroxing things is about the closest I get to remaking stuff. Sometimes I run denim through with a little clorox on the first wash after I buy it to keep the dye from leeching everywhere; one time I forgot that I was soaking a pair of shorts and they stayed in the clorox solution all night.
They're kind of pinto-colored now, like a horse, and I think I actually like them better: I call them my "don't care" shorts.
They're a fashion statement, to be sure.

I have a navy blue lace dress that I wear with a thin brown belt and oxford-style heels and it's super cute.
I concur on the topic of blue and light brown! I love that color combo. If you ever get a picture of that outfit, you should post it on here.
