It's the first day of Restyle, and we have lots of posts in store for this month. Think op shopping + DIYs + a billion photos.
These jeans are possibly my favourite item from our Restyle project. Hence why there are so many photos in this post ;)
DIY Details
Op shopped Witchery jeans, revived with a few (haha ok, more than a few) hand-stencilled stars using silvery blue paint mixed with fabric medium, inspired by Current Elliot. Maybe a starry jacket is next...
This spliced jacket began as a long-sleeved khaki jacket - quite wearable but boring - & had what I like to call a "sleeve transplant." I cut off the khaki sleeves & sewed the sleeves from my denim vest (that you'll see in a future post) onto the khaki jacket. Et voila, a sleeve transplant jacket.
Sneaky butt shot!
Khaki jacket - Good Samaritans ($8)
Denim jacket (RIP) - Good Samaritans ($8)
Jeans - St Vincent de Paul ($2)

Dude Steph and Trish!
ReplyDeleteI was in Good Sammys Freo buying up big on the $1 rack (got a plein sud skirt for my mum...read it and weep!) and picked up a flyer advertising you guys and your 30 days of restyle. Fame!
Love what you've done to the jeans-I have those EXACT jeans and they've only been worn once. Maybe I should do something to them...
Anyway junior doctors to be...go study! Cos that's what I'm doing o_O.
