Button-up refashion swap

 top: refashioned   pants: thrifted/refashioned   shoes: steve madden  necklace: grandma's

Now it is time that I show you guys how AMAZING Megan Nielsen's refashion is! I feel like it came right out of a 60s department store, it is so flattering and vintage looking. I'm in LOVE. literally the best maternity top I own. And with the elastic in the back, it is so dang comfortable. The challenging watermelon sized belly hiding under my shirt was NO challenge at all for her. I was pleased to hear that she was doing my refashion because, well, she makes pregnancy patterns for a living and it is her passion! I'm pretty DANG lucky! She is also the author of DIY maternity blog, where you can get lots of pregnancy ideas, refashions, and sewing tutorials.
THANKS Megan!!
Go here for the before and after as well as the tutorial.

    Lovely! I love the pants too - I saw the post you did about making them but how are you still fitting in them? - have you got a secret tip for turning normal jeans into maternity ones (that is hopefully reversible!) ? At 28 weeks pregnant, I am certainly not fitting into my old jeans (even with this little tip that I found: http://www.mumsdays.com/maternity-clothes-retrofitting-your-old-ones/)!

    Yeah, you look smokin'. That top is so pretty, Megan did such an amazing job! PS you're lipstick wearing has totally inspired me to try sporting some. I've never owned any lipstick, and my first purchase was a TOTAL fail, but I'm determined to find some that works, cause it's so pretty on you!
