K comes home today, hooray!
(jumper/scarf: thrifted; chambray: walmart; socks: uo; shoes: payless)
This jumper is an example of something that an undiscerning eye would certainly overlook. When I found it at Goodwill it was nearly floor-length and looked enormous, but actually fits quite perfectly. It's not terrrribly flattering (culprit: the mass of extra fabric around the waist), but I still think it's pretty awesome. A couple of nights ago I spent quite some time painstakingly hemming (much more difficult with so many small pleats) and ta-da! Cute little on-trend jumper. It had to go with my chambray shirt, obviously.
Not more much to say today. Did I mention K's coming home tonight??

What you did to the jumper has made it look great! I think it's a great, basic colour/print, too. So you'll definitely get a good amount of wear out of it.

Wow, you're right, i had never thought thaht this is a romper. It does look like a cute little dress :)
ReplyDeleteI love how you styled it! The blue shirt looks lovely with the houndstooth pattern on the romper! And the socks in the shoes - so adorable!
How cool that you hemmed it yourself! I wish I could do that too. I would hem everything haha :D
wow, i can only imagine how ugly it was(there is so much hideous stuff in the thrift store!)
ReplyDeletelooks great now!! good job!
imagining that jumper as a floor length number and I can see why it would be overlooked. You did a great job sprucing it up
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that jumper and I love how you have styled it up! Look totally fab.

Great dress - I love the tiny houndstooth and how the pleating on the waist makes it kinda look like a cummerbund!
ReplyDeleteThat really is a jewel of a jumper! This is such a cute spring look :)
ReplyDeleteOh yes--that is a gem.
ReplyDeleteI love this little jumper! I would never, ever, get around to hand stitching it, which I guess is why I never see the potential in these things...
ReplyDeleteThat is an amazing find! That's one of the many things I love about thrifting, I'm just glad I've finally gotten into it :) Also you look adorable and bery stylish.
ReplyDeleteYour hemming skills are a wonder. It came out so perfectly! I do the same thing at Goodwill. I see something with the potential to become something wearable then alter it. You look extra sweet with the socks :)
ReplyDeleteYou look so cute in that jumper! Very schoolgirl chic! I bought one at goodwill last summer. When I put it on my boyfriend gave me a look like I was crazy, but they're so cute! I love the lacey socks you paired with it.
