So, I've finally been able to get outside because the snow (it snowed for the past THREE DAYS in central Illinois) is melting! This is great news for me because I hate snow a lot. Haha! What can you expect from someone born in California?
So, last semester the University of Illinois put on their own rendition of Cabaret and it became my favorite play of all time (thus far, of course) and I bought the vinyl soundtrack! It's been picking me up when it's gloomy outside. Hope you like it! Have you seen this play? I highly recommend it! ♥.
I reconstructed this blouse by giving it a Bertha Collar. I cut the yellow flowers off of a table cloth and attached them to the lace collar I pleated with my sewing machine. This was a project last semester in my fabrication class. My goal was to make this 1980's blouse into a 1920's sears catalog blouse I loved! Here is the before photo...
OH, and I forgot... I have to tell you that I bought a blueberry pancakes candle yesterday and it's made my whole room smell like my favorite meal... pancakes! What a pick me up! I really can't stress how much difference a delicious smelling candle makes in your room. You're instantly productive! I am almost completely done decorating my room (sorry for the delay... I have A LOT of decorations! I will share them in a couple days.... promise!)

I love the blouse oh so very pretty! very charming photos too - a pretty burst of colour, like painting on a fresh white page after the snow :)
So pretty hat, bag & gloves!
A blueberry pancake scented candle must smell awesome. I really love the bright yellow tights, and you did a great job on that blouse.
Oh my gosh, that hat, that wall, that whole darn outfit!! Polly, you continue to out do yourself:) Pink and yellow is such a candy sweet & cheerful combination for these cold and blue winter days. I loathe winter so much too:)
Great pictures! You're so creative!It's amazing what you did to that blouse!
Probably one of the most transformative reconstructions I've seen, I would never guess that was what the blouse previously looked like!
I can't believe you made the alterations to that pink blouse! I love it! You are a talented and inventive girl!

You're so precious.
This is such a fabulous restyling of the blouse! And the outfit is equally amazing. I love all the pops of vibrance and the sweetness of the pink. I wish I could mix colours so well like you!
