The other day during a thrift store expedition, my mother happened upon this pink jumper...
It was too small for her and too big for me, besides the fact that I think the top part was hideous (HUGE armholes and a rather unflattering neckline and bodice) but the skirt was adorable. So swishy and fun! Luckily it happened that the jumper was not all one piece, so I brought it home, ripped the pieces a part and ended up with...
A beautiful new skirt!!!! I just love it. It's a wonderful pink color, a nice, light weight cotton and it's perfect for spinning and dancing in! The headband I'm wearing with it is actually the sash that went with the dress. I didn't feel like wearing it as a belt at the time, but it works fabulously as a headband. Fun, fun fun!
And then I got new wedge shoes or whatever they are technically called from Payless that are just adorable and go great with the outfit. =)
Thus ends the tale of my second outfit remodeling!
OOOOOOOOOO! SWEEET! Nice job, Auntie!! :D :D I love it! :D

Rose, you look very sweet (although I'm not a fan of wedge shoes). ;) What a great remodeling job, and a lovely and fitting color for your name! And the headband/sash -- perfectly creative.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I received your email article and look forward to reading and editing! Dad and Mom are on the other computer right now (that has the emails), so that's why I can't reply to it properly. :) By when do you need to have the article finished?
Simply lovely! Great job! I just love those resale shop fixer-upper finds. Just found one myself...though I haven't actually fixed it yet. : )
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see it in person!
Love,
Josie
