It's been raining pretty much aaaalll week so I've had to find somewhere inside to take photos (and what better place than the bathroom?!) I think I am finally getting the hang of my camera cos these have come all alright I suppose - what do you reckon?
I had a bit of a clothes altering session last night. I had attempted it on Monday but my housemate had gone away and hid all the pins in the bottom of her wardrobe! This skirt was a maxi dress that I got on a 50p rail a few weeks ago. I didn't like the fit of the dress but I liked the pattern so got it anyway and last night I made half of it into this skirt, and the top bit into a crop top. I still have some material leftover so I might attempt a bandeau type thing with it - we'll see!
I really wanted to wear this outfit with some black and white ankle socks and brogues but didn't want to face the rain in anything less sturdy than my Docs! It's just started again now, ugh, rain rain go away!
Anyone been altering their clothes lately? I've got another pile of about six things I want to do something with!

Love the outfit, especially the red shirt! You've done so well to get a skirt and a top out of a 50p dress, bandeau top sounds great too! xxx

I love the way you're reinventing clothes so they suit you, it's really inspiring. I hear you about the rain, it's just annoying the way it showers and then stops, showers then stops. Ah well, what would Britain be without its weather? :)

ReplyDeleteI love this outfit! They're such bargains x
ReplyDeleteGreat outfit.. I have boxes of stuff I need to alter but I've never got round to it. Too busy on ebay buying even more crap. I especially love your skirt though and would love to see the crop top. Here's hoping for some better weather !

ReplyDelete50p skirt?!!! How on earth do you manage to find all these wonderful bargains! I love it! It's such a cute spring outfit and even if it rains all you have to do is throw a jacket over the top!
