31 Days of Thrift: Day 10

It's Day 10, however there will not be any lords-a-leaping on today's post. I'm kind of in love with this one because I used the huge floral print scarf, #5 below...

...and paired it with #6, the H&M buttoned front jeans...

...to complete my look.  Check out how I made this scarf into a totally wearable top!

I started out by wrapping the scarf around me and taking the top two edges and tying them into a double knot.

With the top tied, I grabbed my two edges at the bottom...

There's a whole lotta space in the center, so I took off the scarf and added a few safety pins to keep it closed.

Final product:

I tossed on a strapless bra underneath and voila!

This could be really cute with a sash/ribbon around the neck to make it a halter, which is something I can try for, for the next round.  I didn't stitch this up just so I could rewear the scarf in other ways down the road...

I lathered myself in sunscreen before I went outside in this one.  I'd look like an ice cream sandwich, once the scarf top comes off, if I didn't :)
