I inherited the most amazing collection of white gloves from one of my dearest relatives. She had tons of them because it was customary before 1965 for "ladies" to wear white gloves in public. I love to look at each and every pair and imagine where she must have worn them.
I would never customize or change my dear relatives gloves but....
the cool thing about white gloves is that Jenniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07307576409083616369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1675580551218478003.post-39506982819932967812011-09-06T14:57:00.000-07:002011-09-06T10:19:02.124-07:00Update an '80's Jumpsuit
Clothing from the '80's is fantastic but often its full potential is hidden by too many details. A quick way to breath new life in to an outfit like this jumpsuit is to turn the pants into shorts. This will shift the focus of the outfit onto the full sleeves and shoulder details. You can also take the sleeves in at the wrists to add emphasis to the big shoulders.

I know you are wondering how in the world anyone could take this churchy, out dated, old woman's dress and make anything wearable out of it. The giant baggy sleeves, the over sized bust and the aged elastic that no longer holds its shape at the hip make this dress look more like an unsalvageable clown suit than a garment bursting with possiblities.

Besides, it's depressing to see colorful wrapping paper in the trash.
You can take an old planter like this and fix it up with a little bit of black acrylic paint.
Stuff your planter with the "real" gift and some extra little goodies like candy, packing straw, and plastic flowers (for color).
Once it is "unwrapped" the recipient can put a plantJenniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07307576409083616369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1675580551218478003.post-65614167022156789112010-05-21T15:43:00.000-07:002011-09-05T13:11:06.977-07:00Post Apocalyptic Wild AnimalsJenniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07307576409083616369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1675580551218478003.post-56807267488536321252010-05-21T15:15:00.000-07:002010-06-14T12:52:10.361-07:00Awesome Snack: Bell Pepper Tacos!

Before the alterations, this jersey jumpsuit looked like pajamas. With two easy tweaks it's transformed into a fresh and new, ultra hip one piece.
The big problem with this jumper is that the arm and leg openings are too big. By taking the arm and leg openings in so that they hug your forearms and calves the silhouette becomes less heavy. The tight fitting forearms and calves accentuate Jenniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07307576409083616369noreply@blogger.com
