Green and Purple Disco Monster

I do love a jolly nice jumpsuit, don't you?
Vixcita sent me this early 80s disco queen little number and it's been in my It-Needs-Some-Tweaking Basket for a while.
Love the colour and the neckline, but the legs just weren't doing it for mama.
So I performed surgery.

Pre-surgery.


Post-surgery ... naaaaaaaaaaaaaice.

Just the perfect thing for this morning's mad dash to school and appointments.
It's love.
Thank you Vix!
Oh and I did a wee tutorial for you honeys ... glitter eye shadow!
Not as scary and messy as you might think.
Easy peasy ... give it a go.


Pretty Girl make up from Etsy shop, CALLA Cosmetics.

Now I'd better get cracking, it's The Phoenix's birthday today and I'm making him a rich chocolate birthday cake and there are presents to open!
Baci,
Desiree xoxo

    How fabulous. I have to say, I like it both before and after transformation... after though you look like a proper 70s disco diva, you just need an afro wig, lol. Xx

    Love the leggy jumpsuit! The glitter eye make-up is fabulous!!! I love the purple color!! Going to check out the Etsy store now!!
    P.S. I am so intimidated by liquid eyeliner. I always use a soft pencil, but this makes me want to try again...

    With legs like yours it would have been a style crime to keep them covered when a little judicious fabric chopping could - ta da! - turn the green jewel of a jumpsuit into a playsuit. Hope the Phoenix enjoyed a wonderful day of birthday celebrations.
