DIY!

Hey everyone, 


I finally did a DIY that I finished and could post about! This was the most simple top to edit ever, and despite having a few difficulties as to how to style it I have worn it so many times since!


T Shirt - H&M, Leggings - Primark, Topshop Necklace & Boots - StylistPick


I had seen so many drop hem tops in stores (for instance - http://www.hm.com/gb/product/98710?article=98710-A) and I wasn't sure if they would be massively impractical... So instead of spending the money and then regretting it I had a look through my pile of things that I never wear but I keep just in case.... And it that pile a found this t shirt and my mum's old sarong.




It was a pretty easy DIY, I just made a mark slightly above my bra line and then cut a straight line up the middle to that point. Then I turned it inside out and sewed one corner of the sarong into the triangle shape. Once this was done I just put it on and measured how long I wanted the bottom to be, cut and hemmed it and voila! The great thing about this is I can do it with different styles, colours and materials. I love that this is two completely different items, and think the contrast works well :)

As I mentioned before I had some difficulties styling it at first but I think it would also work well with high waisted shorts, just haven't been able to rely on the weather lately so haven't tried it!


Whatcha think? :)
