Op art project




Here find my latest in a long line of vintage clothing “projects”, clothes that need a little tlc before wearing! I bought this op art gem on etsy a few weeks ago for a mere $8. It was formerly a dress with a stain on the front, so the seller opted to cut and hem it into a tunic length shirt. I redid the hem to make it as long as possible and now I find it quite wearable indeed! The fabric pattern really sold me, though. Stanimal told me it hurt his eyes if he looked at it too long, which is considered a huge compliment to op art lovers such as ourselves! I busted out some 60s sunglasses Stanimal had bought me several years back, and accessorized with silver boots and stockings to let the print do the talkin’!
And to celebrate reaching 100 followers, the vintage purple necklace in the first picture is my giveaway prize! To enter: be a follower, like annimal house on facebook, and leave a comment! The more you comment, the more chances you have to win my necklace twin! On May 31 I will draw a random winner and ship that necklace your way! Thanks again, this has been a real groovy trip!!

    I love the necklace you're wearing, it's also totally me! I should post a couple of mine, you'll see why. If I had a fashion blog...

    PS, the other post you wore it in, you didn't mention where you got your bead purse I don't think? We are almost purse twins there too, only mine is a glowy pink clutch! You know, where the pink plastic has a little orange in it from an angle? (Mine has its *original* $4.00 price tag!!)

    ru! Welcome to my blog, it sounds like you should start your own blog too! I haven't shown the purse before and I forgot to mention I bought it several years ago on ebay for $30. I'd love to see that pink and orange version!
