OUTFIT: A simple Tweak and re-model

Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket
Zara Peplum dress (worn/tweaked as top) H&M trousers and sandals

The most simple tweaking/re-modelling of existing designs are often the most fun and easy little DIY's to do! and with great results for turning something old into something new.

Only thing needed are often scissors (and a needle and thread for a finished seam afterwards)and sometimes you won't even need scissors as safety pins will do the job! In this case I turned a Zara stapless Peplum dress in a simple Top by folding and pinning, leaving the fabric folded under the Peplum giving it extra volume!

pls can you tell me - are those shoes comfy? i really like them but im kinda scared they will hurt my feet since they are plastic... thanks! :)

Thats a creative idea. I love it when bloggers are able to remake/reuse their clothing to make it look as if it is something new. The dress/top looks great on you. The whole ensemble looks great actually.

THATS GRYT, Aves Gry

michellek said...

so smart to wear the dress as a top and have totally different look i absolutely love it paired with the off white pants and i'm sure they would look as amazing with bright or pastel pants also. cool clear shoes, like you are just wearing the black soles

Leonie said...

What a great look! You're definitely rocking the peplum, love how it has a lot of volume. Pretty!

Mooie look...the sandals look great!

Kathleen Lisson said...

I like this sweet, feminine outfit. I leave so many dresses on the rack when I don't like the skirt part - your tip will inspire me to give them as a second look as a potential DIY top!

Violet Baudelaire said...

Someone else above asked this same question but are those shoe comfortable? I tried them on in the shop but of course walking around in them for a few moments only does so much. The contrast of the bold and strong shoes with the faerie light trousers and top is simply brilliant!

cocorosa said...

Violet:

I think they are pretty comfortable! No blisters so far.. but it's always hard to tell... I have them in a size 37 (I'm in between sizes, so sometimes I wear a size 36 and sometimes 37) I think that the size up helped me being comfortable in this case!
