Rip-off Artists are the new awesome

So, sometimes k-tron posted about her old navy jeans that she slimmed, cropped and hemmed into some little designer knock-offs, and it reminded me how much i like to do my own rip-offs of all this haute couture for cheap.

I had seen this sweater by Ports 1961 (can you see the neckline? Thats the fun part) a few months back, but couldn't quite bring myself to pay (gulp) $395 for it. I mean, I know it is cashmere and all, but c'mon.

So last night at my craft club I got my own BR sweater and gave embellishing the neckline in the same way a try.

i will probably try again with a sweater that looks a little more like the original, but for now i will just walk around in my $5 rip-off version, sticking it to the designer apparel market
