i heart anthropologie. a lot. but my pocketbook isn’t that big. and most likely this gorgeous top wouldn’t fit me after week 28 anyway. so i decided to use this top as inspiration instead.
*now i’m going to warn you, during my first pregnancy, i worked full time, so most of my maternity clothes are work clothes. hence the huge wardrobe makeover.* {plus the clothes are so 2 years ago!}
this is what i had to work with to recreate anthro’s masterpiece.
looks pretty shabby, eh? i think the just-pulled-out-of-the-attic-wrinkled look helps with that a little ;o)
after a little love and sweat, this is how it turned out:
500 times better, huh? a cap sleeve, modified collar, and some ruffles and ta-da! blah white shirt completely updated. i wish i’d had more sleeve material to recreate the tiered ruffle bottom, but oh-well.
this shirt is a little big, so plenty of room to grow.
i’ll post the how-to’s next week. i’m just too tired. sorry guys.
i heart my sponsors and i know you will too. please take a second and check ’em out!

AWESOME job!!!!
wow! i can't believe you transformed that shirt the way you did. it's beautiful.
i love anthropology, also, but can't say i own a lot of their clothing since they are a bit pricey. :-)
Wow! I'm impressed! The new look is adorable.
That's adorable!
Tres cute, Linda. Can't wait to see the tute!
So cute! And I think I have that same shirt… I feel a refashion coming on!
Lovely! I have a very similar shirt that needs some redoing…I'll be happy to see the tutorial when you're up to it. I know how hard it can be to put those together.
i love the ruffle :D
Great job!
Love it! I am in the same situation with the work maternity clothes that I am so not in love with. I should look at them with a new eye.
So cute! Why can't maternity clothes always be this trendy!?!?! Great job!
adorable little number now! I might have to make some of these refashions for my best friend who is 22wks!
It's adorable! I love that we're seeing the little belly now too ;)
