Part three: Great makeover pictures!


Pretty as a picture!Remember A’s great makeover, quite a few weeks ago?

If you’ve been waiting to see pictures of the results… here they are!

(And yes, the delay is my fault. A. and D. sent me photos just before I moved house… and I lost them. Evidently, even pixels get lost when one moves house!)

On the left is A. before, in a casual outfit. On the right is the outfit we went shopping to buy.

Makeover pics -- before and after

What we bought, all in Australian dollars:

  • Nine West shoes: $59
  • Skirt (Laura Ashley, I think): $79.34; originally $119
  • Top: $19
  • Country Road jacket: $79.95; originally $299
  • Bag: $19
  • Necklace: $8.50

Total: $264.79 — and every single garment can be worn again.

I’m so glad you found the pictures! A. looks wonderful and that outfit will be very versatile. (Love the green!)

Thanks you Rebecca and Fabulously Broke for your kind words!

I can’t take all the credit for the green though — A. spotted that one herself! I just helped her pull the rest of the outfit together :)

That’s the best kind of help, though. To help someone to be themselves. :)
