 I love Project Runway a lot. And I especially love Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn. 

(Right now, actually as I type this, I'm watching Project Runway Allstars and it's good but you know, just good like a really good sequel.)

The other day when I was staring at my closet, utterly sick of the options in front of me, I decided to channel Tim Gunn and his mantra.

Buttoning up a cardigan and tucking it into a skirt? I've never done it but I wanted a new outfit and rather than buy something I decided to pull a Tim Gunn and make it work. 

And what I ended up with I love. 

You know what else I would love? I would love to see when you make it work. Perhaps a link-up?

p.s. Happy Leap Day! Today we should do something we only do every four years... I'll get back to you on what that would be :)
