I contemplated cutting the slip apart but some of you suggested I leave it as it is and wear a long sweater over it. Well today I found just the right sweater. I obviously had to sew in the bust of the slip a bit because I wasn’t blessed with an overabundance in that area. I was a bit worried when I first started sewing but the slip turned out to fit very well and looks really cute under this sweater. And the bonus is that the sweater was also a thrift store find.

Well it doesn’t work that way. Changes come with life, that’s just the way it is. So I’m getting out of bed and going to be a big girl and face these changes head on.

Well one change I don’t mind making is the changes that I make to clothes, I love making clothes look new and different. Last week I found this cute sweater and I knew right off that I would have to change it up a bit.

BEFORE

It was super easy – here is what I did: I just took my handy dandy seam ripper and took the sleeves and neck piece out – that simple!

AFTER

Sorry had no extra hands to take the photo. Much more sophisticated dont you think?
