Got a ridiculously embellished top or sweater that you never wear?

Here’s an idea that just might help:
Grab that silly sweater – this one had big bizarre ruffles on the shoulder seams.
Carefully remove the lurvly beaded lace from that vintage blazer lurking in your stash (or whatever other pretty embellishment you have on hand).
et voila!
Chop off the weirdness from the top.

Arrange and pin the fancy new & improved embellishments to your now silliness-free sweater.

Stitch them on.

A fabulously subtle result!

Always amazes me me how a simple change can make all the difference in the world. Love this!
Truly! I had never worn that sweater as the ruffles were sooo overly ridiculous but as soon as I saw that beaded lace in my stash I knew it would be awesome!
