Making it WORK!


Initially I had another outfit in mind to wear to dinner with a friend tonight, but it didn’t work out “on paper” like it did in my head.
 So I decided to throw on this jumper instead to make my life much easier.



As much as I love this thing, {and I REALLY DO}, I had to work with it.
The fabric is woven with absolutely NO stretch but I was determined!
I sized up two sizes just so it would fit my bottom half properly and had it taken in.


My tailor got it down to a reasonable size and we made minor adjustments here and there to get it just right.

I will wear this jumper sparingly, as it pulls when I sit or bend down.
Thigh shapers helped out a bit with this conundrum, but I knew I had to be careful or it would rip to shreds.


I know I’m supposed to be passed the point of making clothes work, but I REALLY loved this piece, flaws and all.

I adore the way the neutral looks against my summer tan.
Plus the pops of color made it easy to style.
I just added some metallic jewelry and a statement bag to bring the look together.
I also loved how people stopped me to compliment my outfit today.

Have you ever made something work because you loved it? Tell me about it.

  6. I felt the same way about this jumper, which looks awesome on you, if I sit too hard-moved to quickly it would rip. Now, I'm thinking of getting the top tailored in order for it to fit better. Thanks for the advice.
