Top: Dorothy Perkins Remixed
Skirt: Sussan
Belt: Cotton On
Boots: Boots For Broads
A very special first Frugal February remix for Valentine’s Day!
I was going to retire this puff sleeve Dorothy Perkins top (on the basis that I had several black & white striped tops already, and this one was overkill) but I thought better of it, and realised that I could jazz it up a bit with a simple heart applique.
So, here’s your step-by-step instructions. Obviously, if you weren’t as tra-la-la about hearts as I was, it would work every bit as nicely with an applique of a bow, say. Or a flower. Or, you know, a tomato – whatever you’re into.
Step One: Choose a t-shirt & some fabric to use as an applique
Step Two: Cut out your applique – for a heart I usually fold a piece of paper in half to make it symetrical. Bows I like to do freehand.
Veeeeeeeeeery cute – but I have BIG VALENTINE'S DAY LOVE for THOSE BOOTS!
Yum!
OH HELLO!!! Super cute!!! I need to learn how to sew!
So cute, and so timely for me! I just spilled salad dressing near the bottom front hem of a favorite dress… and I was planning to do an applique to cover it since it didn't come out! Now I will use this tutorial!
I love how you have revamped the top! I love the reds in your outfit.
looooooove this, I'm gonna explode 😀
Gorgeous! You make me want to learn to sew! I wish I wasn't terrified of sewing machines!! Happy V Day!
What a lovely idea for Valentine's Day, I hope this wasn't your only Valentine heart.
Which model Bernina is that?
Love this! The top remix is a genius idea and the whole outfit is so cute. Also, your hair looks lovely in the first pic.
Lovely!
Awww, adorable, I love this!
OMG I want I want I want!! That is seriously cute! You are such a clever sausage, I envy your vision and the way you see potential in just about everything! 🙂
You are so so so so insanely adorable !!!!!! I am incredibly envious of your fashion sense & your amazing wardrobe!
xoxo Cuppy
