Here’s a tip – while thrifting learn to recognize interesting details that you can remake easily. For instance, I saw this great collar last shopping trip – it’s beaded with gey pearls & rhinestones. I knew I could cut it off to make a statement collar/necklace. Easy!
Just check out how cool it looks once liberated from the dated shirt:
It might be a little too “playboy bunny” when worn with the points in front but I think worn backward it’s a great statement collar. I side bonus is that I still have the rest of the shirt to work with.
What do you think? Have you ever had one detail on a piece of clothing speak to you?
