In last week's "weekly workfits" I wore a skirt that I DIYed. Now was this a well though-out, arduous, and complicated task? No, in fact the idea came to me at 11pm (a very dangerous time for my clothes--see here) when I wielded a pair of scissors over my fresh laundry. I find that sometimes I don't even need to buy something new to breathe some life into my closet.
I had this tunic that I got from my ex-roommate's Goodwill pile (it's always important to sift through other people's "trash" to find treasure!) but I had never been able to make it work as a tunic. I found that there was just too much fabric to be a top, yet not enough to be a dress, and the billowy-ness was not flattering on my frame...so I took matters into my own hands!
I realized I could use a basic brown skirt in my closet so chop I did! Here's the DIY I promised, don't feel overwhelmed by the multiple steps and complicated diagram, I assure you, you'll be able to handle it if you have enough skill and finesse.
Tell me, do you ever chop things up to get something "new"?
