Old smock, new look

Charity store find gets a makeover
This 100% cotton smock was a great find from our local charity store, and only took a small amount of tweaking to get it looking right.

Bye bye, frou frou
First, I chopped off the frilly white collar, bow and edging from the bottom hem. Then I added these three blue buttons from Ici et La. Ta daaa (as Olive would say).
Smocks looks so dear on little girls. The simpler, the better – don’t you think?
