I wore this to be a guest judge at the Express Yourself Thrift Store Trunk Show last Friday night. (Check out the Express Yourself mission!) Design students from St. Kate’s choose items from the store and repurpose them, the designs are entered in a contest, and all designs are for sale. It was such fun to see how the designers used their materials and creativity to create entirely new looks.
