In With The Old

This vintage blouse used to be a dress, but I thought it better to have it altered as a blouse because of its sheerness.  I'm wearing the zip in the front instead of the back since there is not a tag on the garment.  So I suppose it doesn't really matter which way I wear it.



This vintage coat was a gift from a friend who was aware of my passion for it when she owned it.  How sweet of her to give it to me and I am forever grateful.

  23. Juanette always makes fun of me because I am the queen of altering stuff.

    I will take a dress and the next thing you know it's a pair of shoes!

    I love this top! You have great layering pieces bc I would love to see that top with some type of patterened (striped, houndstooth or leopard) bottom.

  25. How creative, now that's how you rework a piece and still get some mileage out of it! I love to see people re-purpose things! Looks great as a blouse!
