Shut it Down! Gigantic Ribbon


Looks too familiar? I wish RZ would be proud. I am missing the lion hair.

Turned my trusty fabric belt into a gigantic ribbon. Too easy! No need for instructions, you can do it too!

Wearing DIY Folded Shorts

[old+texas.jpg]

Rugged outfit for a day at Texas Roadhouse Grill in El Pueblo. Cut another old pair of jeans into a nice pair of shorts. Folded and sewn the tattered edges in front, super easy! All you need is a pair of scissors, needle and thread. Hello recessionista ~

DIY: Tattered Jeans

When Margiela's tattered jeans hit the runway, it signaled an edgy trend for those who want to sport a rock and roll style. I do! And now the look for less:



Make your own tattered jeans with an old pair of black skinny jeans. It is better to wear them while cutting but be very careful, here are some tips:

1. Don't cut the front of the jeans from side to side. Make shorter horizontal lines that is more flattering and would make your legs even more skinny.

2. Never cut parallel lines on both the left and right leg. Interchange the cuts and vary them in size and length.



3. Make huge rectangular cuts above or below the knees, don't make round shapes because they can look funny.

4. Make the cuts up to the end of the pants but never cut the hem unless you want your pants to shred off.

5. These pants look even more edgier after two washes and they look better as it becomes even more tattered.


The inspiration

Wear your edgy tattered pants with pointy heels to make your legs even more infinite and to accentuate the pants even more. Enjoy your DIY pants!

From Belt to Necklace



This is the same belt that I wore as a headband, it came with a soft cardigan and is made of the same cloth.



The buttons of this dress flew off inside the laundry machine in Melbourne, leaving it very plain. Yet, a pinch of creativity can always create a new look with something old (even damaged). Tied the belt into a ribbon and pinned a crown hair-clip (from the flea market) to the middle of the bow. Tada!
