Becoming creative in today's economy

With the dreadful economy the way it is now, it's no wonder people are turning their passion into their hobbies while they find jobs. Marisa Lynch did just that.

After getting laid off from her job, she let her sewing skills drive her to create beautiful outfits out of hideous thrift store finds. For 365 days (on Day 262 right now), she plans to create elegant and trendy dresses, shirts, skirts, and pants based on a budget of $1. Yeah thats right one George Washington.

I think my favorite look is the gold dress that she rendered out of an oversized gown. She says it reminds her of an Gossip Girl episode where Blair sport a similar ensemble.
I think the two dresses look almost exactly alike, with the exception of the Burberry pricetag.

Kudos to Marisa for doing this interesting challenge. 
Check out her blog to keep up with her daily outfit transformations:
