Back cardi

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.

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.

  3. I 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.

  5. I 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.
