Extreme Makeover: Clothes Edition




I look like I am ready to milk a cow.  I must say I
truly doubted my ability to transform this.


Value Village $9.99












THE BIG REVEAL:






When I showed my boyfriend this he said:
"Why can't you just buy normal clothes?"
It is a valid question but I answered:
"That is not nearly as fun"

    I literally gasped when I saw the transformation. That is so cool! Haha, sorry for the lack of a better discriptive word. I love the quotes at the end. Boys are funny.

    Hi from Paris!

    Thanks a bunch for your comment on my fashion blog. I had to come over for a visit... and it looks nice! I like the way you spiced up the tunic. Electric blue and studds - so in right now!

    Just came by to check out your blog and was blown away by the transformation. I love how you did the sleeves - But my favorite part is the cut outs on the embroidered area!

    I always try to rework things but it never quite works the way I want it to. I am so impressed with your vision and skills!

    LOL, my s/o wants me to stop buying clothes (especially dresses) period. Can you even believe that?! Crazy man. ahah...ok, I do have a slight addiction to useless dresses but since we are photographers, we always need a big wardrobe! He doesn't buy that reasoning though. =/ ahah

    You did a remarkable job and you are so pretty!
