Today I had some extra time on my hands so I got a little crafty thanks to Pinterest and this was the result:
The first DIY I did was one I've been wanting to try for a while now. I always see my friends with their cut-off workout shirts and they look much more light and comfortable than a heavy cotton t-shirt. I had a few shirts I got from Creation Festival (awesome Christian music festival) and they were too big so I took one and grabbed the scissors! This was a super easy way to revamp my "too big tee" to a cute workout tank! I added the bow as my own little touch :) but there is no sewing necessary! Everything you need comes right off the shirt! Here is a link to the steps I used:
The shorts are another story. I didn't exactly use Pinterest for these but I got some ideas from there. I have a good friend who makes her own clothes all the time so I kind of knew what to do. I knew I had a pair of old shorts I hardly ever wear so I thought I'd use them to play around with. I originally wanted to do a bleach ombre look but I went to the basement just to find out we had no bleach, haha. So I looked upon the shelf and saw pink spray paint! I gave it a shot and the above image is the result. I simply cutoff the bottoms, made some tears in the shorts, and sprayed from above (outside of course). I'm not sure about how to wash them yet, but I figured I would hand wash them first so I don't risk getting everything in the rest of the load pink, or the washing machine itself! I may just always hand wash them. Anyway, they remind me of 'merica shorts so maybe I'll sport them for the 4th!
One last note! I've been wanting a bubble necklace incredibly badly and unfortunately was having a lot of trouble finding one in stores. I was going to wait, but I caved and ordered this one from Francesca's collection for $19.20 (originally 24.00 but I had 20% off, shipping basically made up for that though...)

I can't wait to wear this! I love the colors and think it will be great for dressing outfits up or going great with casual wear as well.
love, anjelica
