I’ll be posting more photos, but this was a white silk jersey (old sample) that’s been worn to death & yellowed from being left in the sun. Alteria Studio dyed it and few other things. I’m going to do a whole write up and add to my upcycling idea book. But I’m just thrilled with the results to be able to salvage this piece which has a lot of life left in it.

Finally perfected my travel outfit with this deal of the century cashmere poncho ($30 + $50 of darning to repair the holes still less than 25% retail) over my Pat & Claire set which feels like you are wearing nothing.

So much good stuff in @janewells@twitter.com column as usual, but I really love this part: "I still have that coat and that scarf and I still wear them." πŸ’ž

Absolutely incredible and what a great idea to update a sleeveless shift/sheath dress.

This is one of the old J.Crews made from Loro Piana yarns. They really do hold up better (this thing is *OLD* & I adore this color so it’s been worn a zillion times - I used to pair it with orange wool pants 🍊for days when I needed a pick me up!
