j.crew flower garden cardigan

October 3, 2010~ DIY DREAM HOUSE

i just posted this thinking tomorrow was monday but it’s only sunday!
weird! but oh well, i’m sure you guys don’t mind it if i post a day early right? πŸ˜‰
*i made this awhile ago but never posted the inspiration picture or the after pictures of me wearing it. so here it is.

my inspiration came from this J.crew cardigan.


and remember the anthropologie one after another cardigan i posted last week? this is the same cardigan in pink, from express over 10 yrs. ago.

and this scarf my mom bought for me from korea that I’ve never wore.
So I added the scarf to the cardigan.
the after:

    So pretty! I love how you find random pieces from your own closet instead of going out and purchasing all the pieces.
