The fun in thriftin is not knowing what you will find. It's like a treasure hunt. So imagine my disappointment when i went hunting and couldn't find anything. I ended up in this woman's store and everything she had was just... i dont no.. ugly. However she kept begging me to just take something. It didn't help that her husband was begging me as well. So i took this very ugly skirt and as i made to leave i spotted this dress. Immediately i saw it i knew what i wanted to do with it. Of course i dropped the skirt.
So i cut off the bottom half,
and made me a new blouse.
I paired it with this vintage Alfred Dunner print skirt which i had also altered by cutting it shorter than its original length ( you can't see the whole of it but there isn't so much more left from where the photo ends). I'm not very tall so i can get away with wearing short anything.
Stripes and prints. You don't say! Well rules are meant to be broken. This worked for me so hey...lol
Excuse the bathroom photos. :-)
very innovative
ReplyDeleteI love the stripes in the top.
ReplyDeleteCutting off the bottom of that dress was the best idea! I need to remember to have a more open, creative frame of mind when I'm thrifting. Love how you paired the bold stripes with the floral print skirt, the two work beautifully together!
