In this post I am going to show you how I upcycled pink long sleeve romper into a no-sleeve bedazzled tropical statement piece!! I originally purchased this romper about a year ago from Express; I absolutely loved the color and style but I could never really find the right occasion to wear it because it’s not often that I’m looking for a long sleeve-short shorts combo. I’m on a new kick of transforming pieced already in my closet and I’ve been having such a fun time doing so!!
Obviously I don’t expect you all to just happen to have a long sleeve hot pink canvas romper in your closet….but you could totally use these techniques for:
1. jean jacket
2. overalls
3. or even just the fancy belt portion of the craft
