thrifted red top ($1, High Point)
Levi's Red Tab (hand-me-down)
Charles and Keith shoes ($3, High Point)
Cotton on bracelet ($2, sale)
The refashion is really simple, just cut a piece of sequin fabric and machine sew onto the top. I left it unhemed so that it can fray nicely. I remember seeing this idea on a top that someone was wearing, so I copycat the look. By the way, I just want to thank all of you who left such encouraging comments in my previous post. You really made my day! Hope you have a really wonderful weekend!




Really cute top. I like how you added your own touch to it.

I've seen this embellishment on some tops before I love the effect, it's just the right amount to sparkle to keep it looking casual.
ReplyDeleteJust in time for valentine's day, love how your refashioned it! Great way to stay in trend with what you already have!
ReplyDeleteI am also drawn to your heels, of course you only got them for $3 =)
nice job with the top! black sequins look extra cool on the red surface. and yeah, the top reminds me of Valentine's Day. btw, your shoes... I even can't describe how amazing those are - so my taste :P

this is such a glam yet casual top, gotta love how you modified it. and love your bangles, i love this time of bracelets. regarding your comment on my post about cavalli's summer/spring collection i am no fan of leopard print generally but i found his interpretetion of the trend very femenine this is why i posted it
ReplyDeleteYou never cease to amaze me! You've taken this outfit from chic to runway worthy- honestly it looks incredible!
ReplyDeleteMONGS, YOU ARE KILLING ME WITH THESE RE-DO'S. This one is my all time favorite. You are amazing and this shirt is beautiful...the colors together are dripping with beauty. dawn suitcase vignettes xo. Mongs I need your blogger support, I am personally writing to people on my front page to ask for your vote as I have joined a contest. Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteVery cool, Mong. The pocket really adds some oomph to the red top. Oversised top could be so boring, but not with the right texture, cut, color, and embellishment like this!

How fun is this! I love how much a little pop of sparkle can add to a top. So creative! Recently I've been toying with the idea of adding some pizzazz to the shoulders of a plain tee and seeing what materializes :)
