wanna be like anthro

So... I really really wanted this $158 skirt,

$98 shirt,

and $68 belt

-

even though i am working extra, it just seemed absurd.

-

so what was little lizzie to do?

make it on her own.

with the help of soe begging of her husband for these

and an already owned one of these in tan

i was all set.

i am sorry, and i will post it sometime,

but i did not get a pic of my whole outfit...

tools

got this old school skirt at the thrift for $5
it has pockets= plus
needed to be hemmed/shortened = -



got 5 pairs of different fall inspired/textured pants at the
thrift... then cut them up :)

pinned on my design

anthro's has a bird, and i didn't like it so i skipped that

so, i stitched them all on, then used a blanket stitch

realllllly close together, i think as close as it would go on my machine

to applicae (sp?) the things on

see, looks pretty good!

belt: thrift; $5, gap, size large, had to poke a new hole

for it.... oh well

shoes: thrift, $3, SM, matched the skirt perfectly, but ended up wearing boots
top: wore my jcrew cardigan in tan over an old woman thrift store

blouse that i made into short sleeves

-

i got a TON of compliments!

i was so proud of myself!
