I think yours is way cute-er, i like the smaller butttons better than the jcrew large ones, nice job
Love it! Cashmere sweaters are among my favorite things to thrift. Your outfit looks fantastic.
Looks wonderful! I have never even considered dying thrifted clothes... thanks for the tip!
What color dyes did you use? Saw on refashion that they were from Dharma Trading co. for $3.99. And were they the Acid dyes? I'm in love with that yellow color at the moment and really want to try this.
I do like your outfit better than j crew - really impressive!
This is just stunning!
LOVE the colors!
Very clever. A lovely look for a bargain. Who could ask for more?
great dye job on that sweater. how in the world did you do that without felting the sweater!?
this is beautiful......it's been fun to read your blog.....keep up the good work! see you next time you come in our store.
I put a diy up on wardrobe refashion. I received several questions on method, color, etc. I ended up loving the color of this sweater, I'm wearing it right now.
I love your idea of taking something you love and recreating it for a more reasonable price. Nice work tiger.
