my inspiration
thrifted Club Marc blouse ($1, Hi-thrift)
thrifted Zara skirt ($1, Hi-thrift)
thrifted vintage bag ($14.50, Salvation Army)
Mitju wedges ($18.90)
collar accessory (DIY)
ring ($2)
materials you need: a pair of old earrings, chain, 2 small ring attachments and wire cutter
attach the small rings to the chain and to both the earrings.
Then cut off the excess metal sticking out at the back of the earrings with a wire cutter.
It's a no sew DIY and really fun to make.
By the way, thank you for all your sweet comments in my previous posts, will be checking out your blogs real soon.

Such a lovely color combination you are wearing today!
ReplyDeleteYou are looking very fresh.
I must confess that I have a weakness for this green and beige color combination. Green is my fav color. Your bag is very cute. I want to try this look very soon.
The DIY you did is amazing , who would have thought about this idea ? really unique.
Take care,
oh, what a brilliant idea! it reminded me that I actually have a quite similar accessory at home and I should definitely try to use it on a collar. the bad thing is that it can be too heavy but we'll see..
ReplyDeleteyour outfit, btw, has the cutest colours. such a lovely combination for warm weather. and the collar accessory looks nice with those wedges (the black details ;)
ps. I also wanted to say I got your package yesterday!! thank you so much! I guess the brooch is your DIY project and I love it. and the necklace is in perfect length. I'm already creating all the ideas how to wear them. oh, and I'm thinking about thrifting something especially for you :)

I love this! I never thought to wear a chain around the collar like that. It's a really perfect idea and the shade of your top is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea. I'm in love with your wedges and your green Zara skirt is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great refashion, looks very do-able. And it's neat how the inspiration shirt had a pointy collar and pointy collar accessory while yours had round collar and round collar accessory.
ReplyDeleteWow you are such a pro thrifter dear! I love this outfit, every little detail about it! Thanks so much for your sweet comment about my grandmother you are such a doll!

Mongs, I recently posted about my beloved antique sweater clip, and lamented that they don't make them anymore. But, wow, you showed me I can make some myself. Now, off to pick the earrings!
ReplyDeleteYou know it's on my Bucket List to thrifting with you :) You always find the best clothes!
I love earrings but I don't wear them myself. I find I get a migraine whenever I wear earrings. I love the pockets on your pretty green skirt. ANd the purse is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteSo creative, weirdly I have a similar craft picture waiting on my compu for me to have time to do, after seeing it on Miss Pillbury on Glee!!
