************************************************************************************************************
On the first weekend of this month, we took a girls-only road trip up the central coast of California. Three generations celebrating a few of our shared passions... travel, fashion, and flea markets!
Stella wanted to take her new "fancy jeans", and of course the occasion was perfect. Casual, girly, sparkly with a bit of pink... a Boho look for a special weekend.
A pair of skinny jeans that was juuuust about to be outgrown. Still fine in the waist, but getting a tad short. Isn't that the story of children and their clothing?
We decided to celebrate the shorter length and give them a makeover.
Fabric glue, needle and thread, and a basket of bits and pieces left over from other projects. Nothing goes to waste in our studio!
Stella is very pleased with her outfit, and especially happy with the treasure that had been given to her that morning.
This absolutely darling Fairy Princess Wand, generously gifted by our beautiful friend Lisa Leonard. (link below)
Stella has barely let it out of her sight.
But back to the task at hand, giving us her "modeling face".
A small break to watch the light dancing on the steps.
The smallest scraps of lace and trim can completely transform a tiny pair of jeans.
And you must always consider frosty pink toenail polish...
It makes me smile that these are so reminiscent of jeans that we altered and embellished when I was in college. The major difference is in the quality and availability of materials. And of course the slender silhouette of the jeans! :)
Boho with a modern twist!
