  
I made this pinafore out of an apron that I found at the op-shop! The apron had enough material that I could wrap it all the way around my booty, so I simply inserted a zipper where the material joined up at the back - and BAM, cute pinafore!
It also had these cutie-patootie buttons on the shoulders, so there was no way that I could leave it as an apron! While Katie has successfully rocked an apron over the top of a cute blouse and skirt (not only while cooking, but as an actual outfit) I preferred making mine into a pinafore dress.
Now I'm on the lookout for cute aprons everywhere...
Also, me and Katie are massive dorks, but our outfits match! Check us out:
 
Pinafore is thrifted/DIY | cardigan and blouse are thrifted | tights from Japan | boots are from Golden Ponies
I love speculative science almost as much as real science! And while we can never know for sure what happened billions of years ago (at least without a time machine), this video from NASA is based on real calculations and observations as well. From the NASA, this is what Mars probably looked like 4 billion years ago:
A thick atmosphere once allowed water to cover the surface of Mars, which may have disappeared over time either because of asteroids or solar wind (which is a stream of electricity, blown out of the sun). The video above shows the passage of time, from 4 billion years ago to how we know the planet today - an icy red rock with a thin atmosphere and no liquid water.
But how do we have any idea of what Mars used to look like?? NASA explains the evidence here. You should definitely have a read if you have the time, it's super fascinating!

P.S. I would die to see a Wizard of Oz inspired outfit with that pinafore, haha.
I really should have taken a picture of it, but we were taking pictures next to a park with all these people around and awkwardly trying to get it over and done with in 2 seconds flat.... haha. I will try and get pictures of it soon! It's basically just got an invisible zipper in the back, and I also kept the waist ties that were part of the apron (so you can tie it on), so now there's a pretty bow, too :)
DeleteAnd I totally should have worn Katie's shoes for that Wizard of Oz outfit, haha ;)
DeleteI will send you a pic on twitter next time I wear it ;)

ReplyDeleteHaha, I feel ya girl, I am SLOWLY working through my massively, ridiculous huge to-do pile :)
Deleteso cute! love the tights.
ReplyDeleteYou two are adorable! I love the idea of altering aprons or even just wearing them as everyday clothing. I usually come across so many cute ones, but because I am rarely in the kitchen I pass them up. Thanks for more style inspiration <3
