Inspiration: Some DIY Ideas

Today, I’m sharing some DIY ideas that I’ve been dying to try…

1. Image via Thread Sense. I love these sea form color scallop hem shorts…Unfortunately, they are sold out, but I think these shorts can be easily replicated by using some old trousers and Megan Nielsen’s scalloped hem tutorial. I’m on the look out for a pleated trousers at thrift stores for this project.

2. Image via some etsy vintage shop (I’m sorry I don’t remember where exactly this image is from..Please let me know if you have any idea so I can link it properly!) This is not fashion related, but I think how she displayed black and white photos in vintage white photo frames is just lovely.

3. Image via BurdaStyle, 70’s dress. If you’ve been reading my blog, I’m sure you know that I’m very into cut out details – I’m so inspired by this picture of a 70’s mod dress.  I particularly like the use of two different colors and the inclusion of buttons!

4. Image via Thread Sense. Isn’t this shirt so cool? Love the dolman sleeves, and the use of two different fabrics in the same color. Could be a good project using an old button down shirt of my husband:)

As a side note, I am trying to decide on a new bag as a gift to myself. I’m eyeing Foley + Corrina Mid City bag in gray, oryany seaweed handbag, oryany petal small bag,  Tory Burch Tallis Moonlight Satchel in nude or Rebecca Minkoff mab mini in gray… I barely spend money on clothes, since I either make them or thrift them, but I’m such a sucker for designer bags..Too many pretty bags! Which one do you think I should get?
