Leg Warmers and Lace
December 15, 2011
I’ve been trying to repurpose things as much as possible these days. It’s a fun “challenge” to take an item and think about how else it can be used. (This repurposing phase can be blamed on my daily doses of Pinterest.) Anyway, I added a little lace to a thrifted sweater (“how to” post on the way), and used the arms from an old sweater to create leg warmers. Both projects were quick and easy and gave this super relaxed outfit a pinch a fun. Also, as much as I’d like and appreciate a tropical vacation (notice the tired eyes??), these pictures were not taken anywhere remotely warm…just at a green house at Brookfield Zoo.

What a good idea!!! I automatically thought the sweater was from the Loft because of the lace!!! I love the leg warmer idea!!
Love it! Big fan of the legwarmer idea. I would love a tropical getaway!
The lace insets are GENIUS! Can’t wait to see the how-to…
Perfect DIYs! I told my Kindergarten class today about turning sweater arms into leg warmers haha. I’m sure their mothers will be pleased.
Also, you’re fueling my Hunters obsession! Looking GREAT!
It takes a special person to teach kindergarten! 2nd grade is as young as I’ll probably go! But I can just hear their conversations explaining why they cut the sleeves off their sweaters…”my teacher said…”
Yay for pinterest and diys. I also have the lace inset on my list. The leg warmers from old sweaters have been rocked for a couple years now. SO easy! What a cute outfit for the zoo. Merry holidays!
