Grandma Workout Plan

Top and Shorts- Vintage, Shoes- UrbanOG.com

This top was originally a floor length XL blue gown which I cut the bottom off of (The skirt was just plain blue fabric).  I'm excited that I finally get to wear it with shorts sans tights-- the weather has been amazing the last couple of days! (Although my mom insisted on fowarding me an email labeled "EXTREME WIND ADVISORY TONIGHT." Way to burst my bubble!)  

Should have taken a close up of the shorts, they have a beautiful crochet overlay on the front and are high waisted (and I mean high!).  My grandma loves these-- she used to scold me for wearing low rise bottoms because she believed they caused permanent love handles.  "In my day, all the women had tiny waists-- today, all I see is muffin top! It's because of those butt crack jeans of yours!" she once told me. Nice. How about being able to breath? And more importantly, eat?

    lol.. grandmas say the funniest things. I do really love the texture of the shorts and top (great diy!) even though there's no closeup, you can totally tell they're crochet. Love the colors too- and the heels!

    OMWord, your top is freakin' awesome! Yeah, DC area have been experiencing fantastic weather. Too bad that streak has been broken with a wintery mix. Great.

    Love your blog!
