One of the things I like about refashioning a whole outfit at one time, is that it avoids wardrobe orphans! Having said that, these two will make versatile basics interchangeable with any number of seperates. This top is so light and cool. Perfect for the gorgeous hot weather we’re FINALLY experiencing here in the UK. Woo Hoooooooo!! The berry coloured skinnies? Well I can see these being in heavy rotation during the Autumn & Winter months…
The jeans got skinnified in my usual way. The top is pretty self explanatory I guess. But just in case it’s not clear from the pics; I removed the sleeves completely; sliced up the side seams and repinned them under the armholes to counteract the fact that the front armhole had become the back armhole.(Simply turning a top around and wearing it back to front can make for the armholes sitting weirdly at the front) I then restitched the side seams, recut the neckline and finished with bias binding made from the sleeves. Simples! Elliott was very insistent the other day that Mummy had her top on the wrong way round, lol!
Oh my God!!! I love this blouse refashion so much Portia and those skinnies are the perfect colour for anytime of the year! You look hot in this outfit!!!
I love it! I have a pile of button ups to refashion and one is destined to do the same as your shirt!
Both look fantastic, the colour of your skinnies, and the shape of your top. Good one!
I adore the blouse refashion, it brings such a fresh, new feel to it. Paired with the red jeans, it is a complete winner!
Love this! Such an awesome outfit. x

great idea but how do you reconstruct the blouse since I a beginner.
That blouse is super cool! I love how you left it open a little in the back below the buttons, it’s a nice effect. This whole outfit looks really cute.
