One of the most frustrating things for me is messing up.
I wouldn't say I'm a perfectionist, but sometimes when my "brilliant" plans go awry... it's a little frustrating.
I started to revamp a nasty blouse I bought the other day... but, I'll admit, I had absolutely no plan for how I was going to do it.
My idea was to make the blouse backless with a cute bow to hold it together, give it a boat neck, and finish it off with cute puffed sleeves. Yes, I realize none of these things actually sound appealing, but I thought, together, they might turn out ahhhmazing.
Well, folks, I hate to say it, but I was TOTALLY WRONG. The shirt I ended up with was a hot tranny mess to the extreme.
So, now I've wasted a free afternoon, $3.99+tax, and lots of creativity.
Here's the baggy, saggy blouse before I did anything to it. Pretty gross.
After I cut up the back and shortened it... The top was supposed to tie into a bow, but looked like craaaahp. I should have taken a picture of it, but it was too bad.
However... amidst the lack of fabulosity... the fabric is still pretty amazing, and I think with a little rejuvination and creativity I can come up with something else to do with it. Maybe a little ruffle tank or some embellishments for my cadet cap.
What do you guys think?
Let me know if you have any ideas for my lovely leopard print!
Mad Love.
