Customise your clothes!

I love customising my clothes, it can be quite simple to make a 'cheaper' item of clothing more polished and unique by doing so. Even the simple addition of a few buttons can completely change the look of an outfit.

I thought I'd post a few pictures of a Primark jumper that (in my opinion) I made a few subtle improvements to. The jumper is nautical style which I adore and even in the shop the ideas for improving it were spinning through my mind!

Unfortunately, as I have only just began my blog I did not take any 'before shots'. Basically I have added all the gold buttons and also have sewn the fold over (if thats what I can call it) on the sleeves. Originally, they were loosely folded over and held up by a single pearlescent button but they kept slipping down and I felt looked neater fixed in place.



Although the jumper was a sell out I can be sure that no-one else will have one quite like mine!

While on the nautical theme I thought I'd post a pic of my new anchor earrings - simply lovely but unfortunately, as they are silver won't match my jumper :(
