I layered the scarf over jacket over black top and added faux pearls, soooo...I'm linking up with Trending Through the Decades: Layers with Tammy at Silverstyle.
I bought this jacket 3-4 years ago and have never worn it. It actually came as a set...over a dress. I never liked the length and fit of the dress. The jacket was too tight. I'm able to wear it now, but still didn't like the dress so I cut if off, resewed the bottom ruffle back on and turned it into a top, which I plan on wearing with a black cardigan because it's sleeveless and don't care for showing that much arm. This was one of my first refashion attempts. I'm a very beginner at sewing. This was hand stitched. Since then, my husband bought me a sewing machine right before Christmas and it has come in handy for a few things. I'd like to practice more and do have some clothing items lined up that I plan on tinkering with to see if I can alter in some way.
Here is a photo of the top I made from the dress. I even made a little flower pin from the leftover fabric. I'll probably wear it on the jacket some day when I'm not wearing a scarf. I didn't think to take a "before" pic, because I had no idea my finished product was actually going to be wearable.
Wow, one of my favorite color combos and it looks great on you. What a ladylike outfit.
