Day 30: Vintage Trench..Done!


This was a Fox Run 70s' vintage trench coat that looked big and overwhelming on me. I've really wanted a simple trench, so I was excited to find this one back in October at the DI. This one ended up being a bit of a challenge. I still have to go back and finish somethings up. But overall i love how it turned out and I'm excited to wear it out!
This is my FINAL refashion for this 30 day wardrobe revamp project!! WOOT WOOT! Wow, this project made me think...I mean really think. Trying to refashion creatively every night with a very limited amount of time can be quite a challenge. I can't believe how much I have learned! Crazy. How I've missed blogging about family, thrift shopping, and just stuff. I can't wait to catch you guys up!!!

  8. Found a trench coat at Goodwill on Friday (for $4.50!), and, after seeing this, thought I could perhaps turn it into a cute coat, instead of a creeper item. Finished this morning, and I'm so happy about it! Thanks for the inspiration, you're awesome.
