Spy Gir 52 Pick me upIf life throws you lemons , make lemonade. I've always loved this saying and the last few months I have no choice but apply it to my life. While hoping for things to get any better I make use of my creativity and the stock of clothes and material I gathered over the years and I try to make new things from this stuff. Buying new is out of the question for a few months ahead. This is what I came up with today.

| cardi worn backwards zara-denim peacock-shoes reebok |
It dawned on me to wear my cardi backwards as i've seen it in magazines before...and it worked. So I got myself a couple new sweaters in bright or neutral colors that if I layer nobody will know they are actually my cardigans. So, more looks no money spent.
I also offered myself a new bangle that is I wrapped some lace around an old bangle and called it a day. Have a nice weekend everyone!There is abundance evrywhere it just takes a bit of adjusting to see it.
Isn't it great that 2 years later I would join the woderful blog of Anne for the
52 Spy Girl pick me up /back to front. Join in ,too.
What a great idea and a novel look! Gives you so many more options, no? Hugs! ~Serene
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas! I think I may try to change a bangle using your idea. You look great in the cardi.
ReplyDeleteI recently tried this cardi backwards trick with far less success. (won't publish the photo on my blog). Your version is sexy--I love the "v" in the back and your lace bracelet turned out great. I'm really liking this new emphasis on creativity.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! This cardi looks perfect in reverse.
ReplyDeleteI keep thinking about wearing things backwards like this! I always enjoy modest necklines (even V-necks bother me a bit), so the switcheroo would do the trick. Thanks for the vote of confidence.
ReplyDeleteWhat an ingenious idea. Terri is right -- it's so interesting to watch how you are using creativity to expand your wardrobe options. (Love the color of that cardi!)
ReplyDeleteOh, and come post this cool look on Visible Monday, if you get a chance, Angie : >
ReplyDeleteYou are quite clever, my dear! I definitely have to try this look...how neat! I have a cardigan that's the most gorgeous green and I've been wanting a shirt that shade...so now I will just turn it around. Thanks for the inspire.
