Little Cardigan Makeover

Firstly, I would just like to say thank you so much for the lovely comments about my granny blanket, honestly thank you, it means a lot.

So, I seem to own quite a number of cardigans and actually wear one most days. This little cardigan I bought a couple of months ago, but I really wasn't feeling the love for it. I like the colour and it goes with a lot of things but truthfully, I find it a little boring...

Yesterday, I decided to start giving it a little makeover.

The buttons were changed from these...

To these...

A little vintage style brooch was made...

And here is the end result! I think it looks much better! A very simple little makeover that took less than a couple of hours, but I'm happy with it. Sometimes it really is the little things which make all the difference...

Happy weekend everyone.

Xxxx

  9. You are so right, gosh, what a difference simply adding new buttons makes! You've made me look at some cardigans I've got languishing in the wardrobe in a new light...perhaps I could perk them up with some new buttons? x

  11. I have quite a number of cardigans that are definitely in need of a re-vamp. I've been thinking about changing the buttons and now I've seen yours I think I need to get on and do it. Yours looks great now. Fiona x
