the art of altered clothing


Stretch grey mock turtleneck: trim out the "turtle" in the neck and the perfect top is found.

Ho-hum leather flats: clip on a pair of brooches/glue vintage pearls & beads or fabric for one-of-a-kind footwear.

Basic totebag: embellish with embroidered flowers, pins and patches for a sweet bookbag.

Spied gorgeous patterned long skirt: make the right asymetrical length and trim with lace a la victorian era.

Wool blazer: cinch at waist with wide leather belt or satin ribbon for a feminine silhoutte.

Pile of secondhand necklaces: layer on and add charms or tassels to wear with tattered jeans and tees.

Great ideas Jenny... my favorite part about altered clothing is it's originality. You know no one else on the street will be wearing the same thing! :)
