{the thrifted wardrobe}

This weeks thrifted wardrobe features my latest refashion.

I purchased this grey pinafore some time ago and it was sitting in the "do something with this" pile.

With winter upon me, I sorted her out.

The waist was originally gathered, which was very unflattering on me,

so this was unpicked, darts added to the back and pleats in front instead.

Next, something had to be done about the length and, well, greyness.

I added the trim of vintage floral fabric and lace trim.

It is balanced by the "I heart Vintage and Venice" brooch from here.

And of course the accessories.  

 

The chocolate brown boots were purchased new a few years back

everything else has been thrifted.

As for the colour palette.  So many colours go with grey.

Pale pink, bright yellow and red are my favourites.

I am also all for teaming grey with dark brown shoes/belt/bags as I think it looks much more interesting than black....

Happy thrifting friends.  

Why not have a rummage through your wardrobe and see what gems you can unearth?
