The super easy vest!

So i have currently gone DIY mad!!!

I'm not sure why maybe its inspiration from some amazing blogs, or maybe its lack of money & a little bit of extra time who knows but I'm loving it & cant wait to bring you more & more simple DIY's in the future.

Now when i say simple this vest is the best example of it, i got the idea from here but with no instruction on how to do it i set out to make my own flying blind

So here it is, hope you enjoy the results as much as i do.

First take some fabric (i used 1 metre which worked fine for me but any width will be fine its up to you) i layed mine out on the floor because if you cant tell by my last DIY its my favourite spot to work. Make sure its flat & crease free
I placed a pin in the centre of the fabric to give me a point to measure from (you don't wont uneven arms)
Then i measured the back of one of my cardigans (so from armpit to armpit) to work out where i needed to place the pins for the arm holes

Then i needed to gage a idea of how much over hang i wanted at the front of my vest, this does not need to be exact but i wanted to make sure i left enough (more is better than less.

So i cut hole where my armpit pins where, gaging how large they needed to be by how i wanted it to sit on my shoulders.

The final piece, it looks so good & made out of the right fabric will be sooo warm, mine lands just on my bum with some panels that hang a little lower but i think it looks great & with this one being mustard (one of my favourite colours) its so on trend.

Costs:

Fabric: $3.50

Time:

30mins (or less)
Difficulty: easy


P.s If you make one of these please email me a pic i would love to feature yours on here.

My very first DIY

The other day while hunting through my favourite local charity shop i came across this BRIGHT dress, loving the print i tried it on, but its length & over all boldness made it far to much for me to handle but for $4 i decided to pick it up anyway with the vision of hemming it & making it more modern & wearable

The dress before
Whilst trying it on to hem it i decided against my original idea & decided to make a skirt from it & then mum convinced me to make a little jacket out of the top half.

I could not be happier with the results

I paired the Jacket with a pair of Just jeans blue chinos & a black singlet

The skirt is worn with a black tee.


I'm sooooo happy with it & cant wait to find more wonder i can alter.

DIY necklace and Pretty red nails!

Last week i decided to revamp one of my Topshop necklaces.

I got the idea from one of my favourite Youtubers Jeni.

This was a cute green necklace i got from Topshop a while a go, it is nice but because the chain is SOOOO long it can get lost in a outfit.
This is a Primark bracelet i got in a set from Michaels mum. It was to big for my wrist.

So i decided to put them together, and here is the finished product. So easy but a really cute piece. I will wear it in a outfit of the day soon.

Onto the nails all this week i have been wearing red polish, I wore this OPI Conquistadorable colour (wow what a name)

Here it is on the nails.

Then i put on the duo which is totally amazing!!!

Nails inc Milan and Barry M Red glitter.

And on the nails.
