granny to glam




I edited the width of my layout to better fit the larger images, thanks to THATSORAD. I really appreciate all of the feedback regarding the image size. I used imageshack and hope it works this time...

I found these granny pants (eww, don't like that word...but it best describes them before the alterations lol) at the thrift store a while back. They were way too big, but figured I could do something with them. I altered them to be more fitted, I eventually plan on making them into shorts. I used a chain necklace as an anklet in the last pic.

tan top: H&M old
black sweater: thrift $3
leather blazer: Victoria's Secret old
pants: thrift $3 (altered to fit)
bag: Wilson's Leather $30 (DIY studs)
booties (first pic): Steve Madden $90
nude heel (second pic): Nine West old

  15. Girl those pants feel so right for spring. I believe it has something to do with the pastel color.
