The other day Miss Reagan & I went on a window shopping excursion (read idea shopping) trip through the Wonderland of Beauty.
Otherwise known as Anthropologie.
We went... we saw... we drooled.
I promptly went to the thrift store (the next day) and purchased some goodies to Anthro-up.
Here is what I did.
Took this Davids Bridal dress (purchased at Village Discount Outlet on Farnsworth on 3 for $1 day)
Cut the front of the dress into strips and made these flowers. There is plenty of the dress to make more goodies.
Gap sweater, purchased at VDO on 3 for $1 day.
Notice it was very large at the shoulders, impossibly small at the bottom.
No way this... ahem... traditionally built woman was fitting in that.
So I cut the sweater from the V-neck down to the bottom. The sides roll inward, no sewing necessary.
Pin flowers on sweater... viola!
Are there any other Anthro girls on Thrift store budgets? Share your tips & projects w me pleeeeeease.
