Um, is this a stroke of genius or what? The lovely Krystal, of This Time Tomorrow has gone and done it again. Not only is she an awesome person, but I love her style in general. She is always coming up with ingenious ways to wear regular pieces of clothing by adding her own twist and style. I remember back when I first started reading her blog, I went bananas over this embellished tank she wore here. So much so, that I saved the photo and tucked it away in my DIY to-do folder. I still need to get around to making a similar top, but the point is the inspiration she provided. Anyway, this time, she went and cut off the sleeves of a her trench coat and sent me into a style frenzy. Although her post was supposed to be about her cute DIY turban, I was blinded by her DIY trench. Here’s the thing. I have a trench that I bought from Banana Republic, like forever ago, and I never wear it, which is a shame, but it just doesn’t fit right. It’s too long and overall way to big. I was going to take it in and get it tailored—read: expensive—but now I am having second thoughts and might just pull out my scissors instead and take matters into my own hands…
Hope you’re all having a lovely Thursday! Outfit photo to come in a bit! xoxo

Umm I saw this same outfit and didn’t give the trench a second thought. Either I am moving at too fast a speed or I am really tired, but thanks for pointing this out!

You know depending if the material of the trench is light enough, when you cut the sleeves off it could also double as a dress.
I don’t own a trench, but these post are making me want to the nearby goodwill and vintage shops and find one and make it my own!!

I just started reading her blog a few weeks ago and she is ridiculously cool. I would be so afraid to do that!

This is such a great idea! Makes me want to search for a trench in my next thrifting spree to try this myself…
