Halli, hallo & welcome! ♥ I'm Refashionista Sheri and if you enjoy transforming old into new & creating your own unique style from preloved items you've come to the right place!

I teach everyone how to create their own eco fashion and decor on a budget, without any special tools or skills. Join me and unleash your creativity while making sustainable lifestyle choices too!

My personal definition of a Refashionista? A kick ass DIY eco-fashion & décor upcycling warrior who firmly believes that fab, affordable, unique style can be achieved by anyone without supporting the phenomenon of unethically produced products & fashion.

Another triumph! I love the end result. At first, I thought the belt loops should be added. But seeing the complete outfit, the loops might be too much. And who cares about the inside seams. When you are working at Christian Dior’s Haute Couture atelier taileur, making garments that cost more than my house, you can worry about clean-finishing the seams.

That striped bag was a nice find! It has the same look as 2010s Kate Spade. The lime green lining is “totally awesome….totally!”

Omg your energy is just so fun! I bought a beautiful little summer dress from a retro clothing shop in Glasgow last summer (airline lost my luggage so I decided to use it as an excuse to go thrifting haha). I have kind of big arms and the sleeves are just a bit tight around the bottom so I’m looking for ways to fix that so it’s more comfortable. This gives me some ideas!

+1 for the bidet. I've used one for many, many years and hate having to use public bathrooms because they don't have bidets. It's just feels gross to not use one. You did a great job on the bathroom! It looks a thousand times better than it did when you first moved in. And the curtains are very cute!

I became a fan of bidets when I lived in Tokyo in the 90s & was thrilled when I moved to Europe & found they were totally normal there too! 😊🚿 a clean 🍑 is a happy 🍑

I agree, but depending on what is causing the stress there are options, for instance if you are stressed about family then talking could help. If it's money then charity's could help out, if it's work related then try to remember you are only one person, try not to put too much on your own shoulder's.... And finally if it's moody teenagers (like mine) then I have no answer, but if you do I'm desperate to hear it. 😉
@RefashionistaSheri
@RefashionistaSheri 5 дней назад
This was a silly lip sync to a viral tiktok sound BUT it is pretty accurate & relatable for anyone who is not part of the 1% 😂 - Thankfully my teen is not moody (yet) 😁 - Not having any actual family or friends is definitely a bonus sometimes as stress from them is non-existent 🤪 - I'm not sure what charity gives out money but the ones here only ask for it (I'm not eligible for any kind of gov't assistance as my basic bills are "too high" - wtf??) - Unfortunately I'm a one-woman show so everything is on my shoulders and I cannot afford to pay for any staff to help lighten the load - Perimenopause is making life a living hell and finding a doctor that will help is proving to be impossible. That said I will continue to try everything I can think of to keep climbing that slippery iceberg of success! 🥰 Sharing and engaging with my content absolutely helps me to be "seen" and hopefully discovered enough by the algorithm to push my work out to a larger audience.

I love, love, love all 3! I can understand why the boots were worn to death. They remind me of a great pair my mother bought for me as a Christmas gift a million years ago. My mom is gone and so are the boots, but this brought back good memories. You picked perfect trim for the boots, and perfect tie for the bag.

Ah yes, the BRAIN FOG attack! When I was 33 rheumatoid arthritis came to visit and stayed. It caused lotso brain fog that was exacerbated by the prescription medications the rheumatologist put me on. I would lose my train of thought midway through a sentence it was so bad. And I was fired from a job because of it. When menopause hit it got worse yet. Stopped taking all prescription meds on the advice of a general practitioner who also recommended drinking coffee and eating dark chocolate...both which are anti-inflammatory. Guess what...doing this helped me a TON! I can think straight again!! I was able to get back into my hobby of quantum physics and now I'm teaching myself higher math to better understand my hobby (yeah, I'm learning calculus...which causes brain aches, lol).
