it's a cardigan, but thanks for noticing!

howdy ya'll. it's been a while, i know. i miss my blog, i really do. 
for now here's some of my latest refashions, all pullovers, er, i mean, cardigans. *grin*

remember last month when the hubby shrunk one of my favorite sweaters? it was accident, i know. anyway, i cut off the sleeves. does that even count as a refashion? i think a five year old could do that. whatever...i like the look. and i couldn't get a good pic, so i thought hey, i'll eat a brownie. *grin*

another 'just cut off the sleeves'. but i hated these sleeves. i repeat i hated them. they made my arms so so itchy. some days i'd wear it anyway and just think i could deal with it. and i couldn't. so i just cut them off. but i'm really happy with the result. here's me showing of my guns, i mean, showing the length of the sleeves. haha.

ok, this one is probably my favorite, i'm not gonna lie. this one is an anthropologie knock-off.  first, quick story about anthropologie: once when mom was visiting us in Nashville we went to that store and walked around a bit. as we were walking out, i made the comment that i could probably not have a problem spending thousands of dollars in that store. to which my mom replied, 'really? cuz i probably couldn't even spend five!!!' haha. mom, i love ya!
anyway, here's the original, that costs about $118.


and here's mine. i had the sweater, and the lace cost me maybe a dollar? 



and that's all folks! i'd better get cooking, chris will be home soon. love that boy!!! 
have a super night!
