before/after

BEFORE:

So there are a few things you may or may know know about me:

1. I like trying to take pictures of myself, and me with others. The long Pleak arms do come in handy! This is a very tricky thing, though. Especially with tricky lighting. But I've always liked a challenge!

2. I LOVE LOVE LOVE thrift store shopping. Again, it's a challenge. But I'll admit the Aspen thrift shop has a leg up on some others.

3. I'm addicted to cashmere.... if it's possib;e to be addicted to a kind of cloth. But especially if the cashmere is from the thrift store! That's about as good as it gets in my world.

4. I have a million cartigan swaters, and ther is always room on my shelf for more.

SO, when I fould this cashmere cartigan at the thrift store, even with a small hole, I knew my luck was turning around.

AFTER:

I took in the sides to make it more fitted. No more 80's boxyness... boxiness?

And added a little flair with an old t-shirt fabric scraps

I also changes the buttons to all different pink ones.

I love my new favorite sweater!
