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

  13. 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

  34. Well i loved the jumpsuit on you before and after the chop gorgeous colour on you. Happy birthday to your lovely husband the Phoenix i hope you had a lovely day and enjoyed your chocolate cake. dee xx

  35. 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.
