    Very beautiful! I love how this turned so modern and minimal, sophisticated. Monochromatic and matching sets is my style. Lettuce hem is what I did to everything when I first learned to sew, lol.

    This was my thought:
    “ what in the mind of a re cycler was she thinking buying this” ???
    Then I said …………wait just a re cycling minute………🤔…….this is the re cycling whisperer……………
    And O.M.GOODNESS…….
    YES MY GOODNESS……
    This looks ah mazing on you………..love what you did with the elastic thread…………..
    I will never look at thrift knits the same again👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

    Heeyy Angela... So I go online to look up remedy for diabetes - I gained 30 lbs this past 4 months. But I ended up on your channel and watched tons of stuff... My fabs: blazer peplum belt and blazer corset. I'd prefer my corset or peplum belt be tartan, but the cheapest blazer in my closet is black, from H&M. So I started with it. Thank you for the overlock review, I just ordered Brother through your list @ Amazon.

    Simple yet (in)expensive 🥰 absolutely love this set!! I love Thrifting for two piece sets. In Atlanta, you may be able to find designer sets but usually it’s a bunch of old suit sets, but with amazing blazers with designs and embellishments, suit pants or skirts, and if you’re lucky: a matching top!! Just thrifted a yellow set and I want to upcycle it to fit me before classes start (but I probably won’t have it done by then lol. I literally move this Thursday)

    Lady, this is everything! Ribbed pieces have always been favorites of mine not to mention classics. I have some ribbed pieces I have had for a long time, which have easily gone from day to evening in seconds; from work to a dinner party and even a church social. And, can we talk about the heels. I about died when I saw those and how they set off the outfit. Nothing like a good ankle strap heel to pull an incredible upcycle together. Beautiful job, Sis!
