genius trench remodel: the update

i’m not one for self-portraits most of the time (ack! photos of me? on the internet?!), but so many of you asked to see the finished verison of this little project…well, i just felt a moral obligation to share:

(do you love my faux model posing? so chic, i know.)

i was pretty pleased with the outcome, actually!  the whole thing cost about $24, by the time the bill came in from the tailor.  if i were less lazy, i could have saved even more by putting the buttons on myself…alas, “less lazy” is not a trait of mine.  if you missed it the first time, click here for the details on what i did, and how i did it.

what do you think?

    Genius! I have an old Banana trench coat in the back of my closet as well – you may have inspired me.

    PS – you look gorgeous!

    Love the second picture! Super cute. I need a classic trench so bad… I have bright pink and black but not the classic!
