my little ray of sunshine- project run and play week 3

January 29, 2011

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Can I tell you something? This week’s Project Run and Play challenge- making pint-sized knock-offs of popular adult fashions- was bad news for me. Not bad news because I couldn’t find anything to recreate, bad news because once I started, I couldn’t stop! Want to see my inspiration?

And my knockoffs?
A teeny-tiny Anthropologie Sun Shades dress for Piper Jane…

…the miniature version of Banana Republic’s Peplum Cardigan…

…and the kojodesigns edition of Anthropologie’s Beaming Featherfew Pin.

I loved everything about this challenge (well, besides the to-do list it’s created- I may or may not now have a whole idea file of knock-offs to make at a later date).
Ooooh, and want to know a secret? The dress’s fluffy petticoat layer is removable so it can be paired with this sunny, stripe-y goodness or any of the other dresses in Piper Jane’s closet. Lovely!

Would you do us a favor and go vote for Piper Jane’s adorable-ness again this week?

    popped over from my google reader… checked out the other projects and I was less than impressed by your competition this week… your dress was clearly the 'winner' … I also like Jess's Anthro nock off (she was eliminated 1st week – but is still posting)

    good luck – I know it is kind of a popularity contest more than anything else ๐Ÿ™

    and you got an adorable dress out of it!

    Hey, girls! Great job, again. I love yours even better than the anthropologie dress because of the uneven stripes. Piper Jane looks pretty content with it, too! ๐Ÿ™‚
