Just so I can wear my Brooch

I received this beautiful top from my friend. (She received it from another friend who could no longer fit into it because it was too big! *gulp* Her friend must be a tiny girl!) I'm always grateful whenever my friends think of me before they discard perfectly good clothing. So, thank you, Steph!!

This top is made of a softest jersey fabric, but unfortunately, the mock turtleneck + short sleeves combo made for a very bad combination. Hot? Cold? When am I supposed to wear this top? Probably in the winter under a cardigan, if I have to guess. Anyway, the turtleneck was simply too uncomfortable?

As you know I'm already mad about the long-sleeved refashion from Happy Together, so I took a pair of scissors to this branded top. There is less material for me to work with, but I still managed to make a pretty funky top based on the original idea.


And yes! I get to wear my favorite brooch again.

Agh, mock turtleneck!! Who actually wears those things??? That's a flattering top for showing off your shoulders.
