I have been a very infrequent blogger since I went back to school, and this is only due to lack of time and not lack of want. I still very much enjoy writing this blog and finding new things which will hopefully interest you as much as they interest me. Just so my almost random blogging habits do not get more confusing than they already were, you can now subscribe to this blog by e-mail (have a look at your left!).
Now, here's what I really wanted to tell you about.
Remember in the Spring when I found an old pair of cowboy boots and turned them into a pair similar to those IM boots (you know the ones/also, I did manage to make the ankle narrower but forgot to take photos)? Well I 'worked' (it wasn't actually work, and it took me about 1 minute) on a new project of the same taste recently. That taste being that if you look hard enough and own sharp scissors, you will save a lot of money and still own good quality clothing. Anyway, on with my project!

Last Summer, I fell in love with this peach-coloured silk blouse:

After seeing this photo over and over again, I decided to do a little research only to realise that the blouse was in fact for sale.

I cut its collar off...
And that's the extent of my project.
Oh yeah, and I took lots of photos because I was a bit too proud, and quite happy with my new acquisition.

I'm just about to turn a peter pan collared linen sack dress, which makes me look like a sack of potatoes, into a linen top!
ReplyDeleteI love the shirt!
I like the colour of your blouse so much more, not to mention those pleats, and no pockets, yess.
ReplyDeleteI have a dress I want to turn into a shirt, but have been hesitating because as a dress it's so beautiful, if neglected.
Good job on the blouse. I need to do some DIY soon. I have been lazy.
ReplyDeleteGreat vintage diy! I often find lovely alternatives to a designer item that I'm lusting after in a thrift store. Plus, it sure feels good on the pocketbooks!
