I go way back with PP, from my high school days volunteering in the clinic. <br />The pants/future-clothing-item-to-be-named-later will be a 2017 event. Maybe that's how I'll spend January.

Having a statement piece will make you so happy and telling people that you turned a flop into a flip will make a good story..."Yes, this garment started it's life as pants but now look at it!"

I know I covet things that are probably not the actual things but what they represent to me.<br />This is why I shop at Anthropologie. They make things I've thought of, and I can see right away by the finished object why it doesn't work. Thanks Anthro! I'd have an even bigger fail pile without you!SJ Kurtzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871599515352715171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-277671336836839009.post-35293387716177341732016-11-15T10:40:07.459-08:002016-11-15T10:40:07.459-08:00Just doing my job ma'am.

Is the coccoon coat the Folkwear one? I slaved over some stunning silk velvet to make mine [intended for the evening of my wedding] but it just swamped me, and looked weird. Never worn. Another to be unpicked and re-used, the fabric was VERY expensive. Love the jeans, but agree they don't do much for you. Ah well, can't win 'em all!DementedFairyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13849506916345114927noreply@blogger.com
