I transformed my swimsuit into a top for fancy dinner party outfit – people say it’s giving Wilma Flinstone vibes
A SCOTS singer has been showered with praise after turning a swimsuit into a pretty top.
Stephanie Cheape, 28, cut a fabulous figure in what appeared to be a regular black number that she paired with a satin skirt.
But she then stunned her 361,000 TikTok followers by revealing that the top was in fact a swimsuit.
Her fans then compared her to Wilma Flinstone and hailed her efforts.
Stephanie said: “This is actually a swimsuit from PrettyLittleThing which I thought was a nicer top.
“The skirt is actually a two piece from ASOS which I really liked.
“When I first saw it, I thought am I just going to look like a big slice of lettuce?
“But it turns out I really love lettuce so this could work for me.”
And her followers definitely thought she was working it.
One quipped: “Wilma Flintstone vibes!”
Another concurred: “You are definitely Wilma Flintstone, very pretty.”
While another smooth talker beamed: “See, you made a swimsuit into an outfit…you’d make anything look gorgeous on you.”
And a supporter added: “You look absolutely stunning.
“I love your outfit. Very stylish with combining the two pieces.”
Stephanie previously told how she was treated like a criminal by an Argos manager – and she reckons it was because of her outfit.
She was hoping to return an electrical item she’d bought for someone as a gift and exchange it for a more expensive one.
However, she claimed that she was met with hostility – saying the employee even refused to speak to head office after they tried to intervene.
Stephanie, who had just returned from recording music in London, said the whole situation at a branch in Scotland left her embarrassed.
She said: “This is why you should never judge a book by its cover.
“I tried to return something in Argos and I was wearing a hoody.
“I was having a particularly lazy day, it was a chilled one, I wore a hoody and joggers.
“The manager refused to help me, she refused to speak to me even though I followed all the policy guidelines of receipt, proof of purchase and the item unused in its original packaging.
“She then told me I’d need to speak to head office if I want to complain or get more advice.
“I called head office and they were like ‘no, she’s wrong, you can return it.”
She added: “I understand the public are difficult and you do get crazy customers but I wasn’t one, I was literally just trying to return something in a chilled way.
“And because I was wearing a hoody – and I know it was because of the way I looked – she totally judged me and didn’t want to help me which resulted in her totally embarrassing me.
“My advice if you’re returning something would be don’t shop in Argos and don’t wear a hoody if you’re taking it back because they judge you.”
