Space to breathe

Saturday, 21 May 2011


Really like this top from H&M- especially the way it scoops up at the back, and the covered button detail. Not sure why, but I had my sights set on getting a pair of really high waisted, wide leg trousers. Found some! Sadly a size too small but I was willing to suffer hindered breathing for them. Although, not being able to sit down or eat was too much to bear. So reluctantly I considered taking them back, until I realised they could be easily adjusted as the style has a fold over on the waistband. So I unpicked the stitching and gave myself a bit of breathing space...

Top and trousers: H&M




A happy ending

After first seeing this Carven collar a while ago, I thought I'd buy a cheap white shirt that I could cut the collar off. I found one in the Gap sale for £4.99, but then really liked the shirt so decided against hacking it up. Some time later I managed to burn a great big hole it whilst ironing! I blame the iron. Anyway, all was not lost... Et voila! My 'Carven' collar was born. Please ignore my shoddy workmanship. You can't see the frayed edges once it's tucked in!
