I've basically been in (and currently am in) black sweatpants and an oversized WAZZU sweatshirt for the last two weeks - due to a little bit of jet lag, sleeplessness, laziness, and the z-pack the doctor put me and Beck on. Honestly I've been enjoying almost every minute of it. But for the few times I decided to put on some makeup and do my hair, like my husbands birthday, I documented it. And I'm wearing my newly tailored blazer! Woot!
Excuse the nasty house I have yet to clean up. Like I've said, I haven't been doing much these days.
dress: evelyn (rouche) jacket: thrifted and refashioned shoes: aldo necklace: china
Supplies:
oversized dress
scissors
marking pen or chalk
measuring tape
sewing machine
thread
pins

SO EASY!
1. Put it on inside out, pin or mark to the size you want it.

3. Cut off extra!
You are talented. And beautiful.

Super cute Liz! Glad you guys got back safe and sound (I know you've been back for a while, but just sayin'!). And Beck looks so big...it's so sad it's been so long since we've seen you guys. I just want to give his cute little self a squeezy hug, he's so cute!
ReplyDeleteLove this refashion! Looks so lovely on you!
ReplyDeleteSo cute, especially with your blazer! How on earth do you get your hair so perfectly mussed yet pretty and wavy?
ReplyDeleteThis is great! AND something that even I could do. Now to convince my husband to buy my a sewing machine... Hmmm...
ReplyDeleteYou totally fixed this dress! It fits you so much better now... and no worries about the messy house!

ReplyDeleteOh, do you use a sewing machine or do it by hand?

Seriously? That's it! I love you.
ReplyDeleteAs always, fabulous! You look great and the entire outfit is great :)

love it! But did you use a single thread machine for this? coz if you do, i dont think it would last coz once you stretch it, it's gonna be a total mess. An edging machine maybe? :)
