Peplum Shirt DIY thrifted dress | Skirt & Necklace Forever21 | Boots Blowfish | Bracelets ASOS | Bag eBay
April 7, 2012
Something Old, Something New.
Now that my first year of design school is coming to a close, I've lined up my much anticipated DIY projects from years past to tackle over this summer. If you can believe it, this shirt used to be a God awful dress! (Photo at the end of this post.) I fell in love with the shade of orange immediately, but the dress was 2 sizes too small and, well... beyond hideous! I promised myself that I would make good use of it anyway; So a piece of scrap fabric, some wishful thinking and 2 hours of labour later, viola! Peplums have been appearing everywhere and they are just way too cute NOT to try! Colour blocked with my favourite teal bag and a simple black bandage skirt to balance out the bright colours.
