Buttons and more...



Is there anything cute in a pair of ordinary buttons? I don't think So! And I decided they couldn't stay any longer on my new cotton cardigan...


I  just had to choose among the ones of my collection ... ( yes, I like collecting buttons of every kind, as you can see in the selection )


Here there are the  ones which could go nicely! Better, aren't they?


...on my cardigan now! ( I know, I know, you can't see the change...but I like it more ! )


A little moment of rest for you...   :-)


viewing  this nice garden...


and then a look at my today's outfit : it's time for a white dress and my red bag which is purple as I am using it with the inside side out ( it is double-face )


As you can see I am not alone...and mr. Bangio is trying to catch my attention passing again and again while I am taking photos!


Here you can see what he wants! Old dear friend!


 The  last photos... that's all for today, girls!


P.s. my tab will be at the assistance point, so I am not sure I will be able to post next week...    :-(

    You look so summery, I love that dress! I can see why you changed the buttons, not only were the old ones boring, but you have such a nice collection of interesting ones. They remind me of the big container of buttons my mom used to have when I was a kid, I used to love playing in them. Hope you are back online soon :)

      Yes Flo, women had containers of buttons in the past...my mother was a working woman so she couldn't dedicate much time to the house, but I can remember the metal box which my grandma used to keep at handy...

    Dan, your button collection is beautiful.
    Look perfect on your jacket.
    White dresses excite me and look nice with yours.

      Some buttoms are so nice that is a pity to leave them on clothes which you don't use anymore! I think I have started my collection because I wanted to give them a new life!

    Changing out buttons takes ready to wear clothing to designer status! You've got some lovely buttons in your collection Dan!

    Hi and hugs to Mr. Bangio! We'll see you when you are back online.

    Great buttons! And yes, I can imagine the difference they can make. Pretty Little White Dress, and smart mule/booties. Love your bag a lot ... pretty, and reversible as well?
    Mr. Bangio is adorable. Doggy love is the best kind!

    Hi Jan, yes my bag ( Furla ) is reversible. That is a smart trick which allow to match it to several outfits! It is the red bag that you have probably seen in other posts of mine...

    p.s.
    I completely agree with you about doggy love!

    First, I love your Furla bag. Second, I envy you for being able to wear a fitted white dress. I wouldn't dare wear one without a layer of spanks.

    Yes Glenda, the bag is so nice...and it gives a touch of bright colour to my neutral tone outfit...wearing layers on a fitted dress is a smart idea!!

    What a good dress. Not only is it lovely by itself, it also makes YOU look fabulous. That is what we girls want, don't we? You have an amazing figure. Changing the buttons of the cardigan is a wise move. I do that some times as well. I once bought a coat at H&M and changed the buttons.... the buttons were really unique and were half the cost of the coat haha. My stepdaughter now has this coat. I told her, if she ever throws the coat out, to cut the buttons off and return them to me.
    Of course your bags looks perfect with this dress. And Mr. Bangio is a dream dog.

    Oh, yes Greetje, that IS what girls want! I have tried many dresses before buying the one I am wearing in the post! ( it required a couple of hours and hard work at the MM outlet :-)
    Me too cut the buttons from clothes if they are worth it! Not so easy to find really beautiful ones!!
    Bangio is a funny baby who loves cuddles!

    Love this white dress and the buttons are so pretty. I like how you changed them on your sweater to make it unique. You sunglasses look great on you too. Mr. Bangio looks like such a happy fellow!

      Yes, I like to have something unique. Of course it doesn't mean expensive ...I just like to personalize my items...And probably also mean I have a strong personality!

    Dear Dan,
    changing the buttons of your cardigan makes the jacket very special to your own. Great idea. You look very pretty in your white dress and Mr. Bangio is so cute.
    Have a great start into the next week

      There are many details which can change the look of clothes...buttons are just an example...belts, ribbons, faux pockets, collars can work as well...

    Art is in the details! I too love buttons and I have jars full. But I mostly collect white. You have an artful eye for the small accents that make a difference. You look so lovely in white. I love the way Mr. Bangio contrasts with your dress. Hugs to you!

      There are buttons which are works of art...sometimes in flea markets or old haberdasheries you can find some very beautiful! Mr. Bangio is a so loving dog...

    PS: I could never crochet or knit with such precision. I don't have the temperament. You are clearly an artitst is many senses of the word. Enjoy your day my friend.
