OOTD: Leopard and Studs, Perfectly Suited


Well, hello there! Peacock-happy!


Today I was feeling confident in a leopard blue dress and a studded bolero jacket, not a bad thing during a challenging day at work!

I reworked the top of the dress from a halterneck to a sweetheart neckline because this accents my hourglass shape where the halterneck just made me look top heavy.  I used the leftover material for a waistband.
The bolero jacket used to be a suit jacket, but now it`s been cropped, tailored to hug my curves and studded by yours truly.


Statement studs, originally part of the neckline of the dress that was left over when I made one dress out of two:



Oh, and before I started stripping the studs off the neckline it made a very nice talking piece! (remember that post?)



... but is it art? :D


I love reworking and reusing loved pieces, and had fun adding studs to my bolero, mirroring the grey leopard spots on the dress.

Do you like to tailor fashion to suit your body better? Tell me how!

Grey Dress Duplex


What to do when you find a fab dress that doesn`t fit? Get two!

Never one to succumb to the tyranny of size, that`s what I did when I spotted a lovely grey dress adorned with a studded neckline from Gina Tricot that I simply couldn`t leave without.

(I`ve spent years working up the courage to go to shops that don`t carry my size without feeling like an absolute schmuck, and now that I really feel that it`s not me and my size that`s the problem I`m making the most of this positive outlook on fashion, -because I`m bloody well worth it, haha! )

So, home I went, and after a bit of cutting and sewing I was ready to go out that night in my one of a kind flowy grey dress.

I actually love the studs on the dress so much that now the neckline from the second dress is humouristically displayed in our spare room!

Let`s face it though, it probably is only a matter of time before the neckline has been reworked into a bag, courtesy of yours truly :D
