Hey Guys,

Here is the second shirt I did. It was inspired by this video created by Itsblitzzz on youtube. I really love her shirt reconstruction video’s. I was just going trough all her video’s and there are many I haven’t seen left, so who knows. I still have some shirts XD

Anyway, I started cutting in the front of this shirt, and it did not look like the way I wanted it to. The fabric wasn’t really right so I had a lot of trouble with that. In the end I decided to continue cutting it and seeing what happened. Since I removed the collar anyway, i’d wear it in the back. Also, I hated hated the print on this shirt, so I was extra happy to cut it up. In the end I removed the tag and wore it inside out!

The front of the shirt was too boring though, so I gave a second try to the front that was used in the video, and it came out alright. I don’t think this will be my favorite top, but I had fun trying. Also, it didn’t matter if it wouldn’t work, since I didn’t like the shirt to begin with XD

Hi guys,

Yesterday evening Bir, some other friends and I went to a make up workshop. Afterwards our pictures were taken. 
This is one of my favorite pictures in which you can see my outfit. I was wearing my black corset, black simple H&M skirt and red leggings.

Hope you like it!

Hi guys,

So I want to show you my first t-shirt project.
I’ve loved this shirt ever since I got it in NYC 4 years ago. I’ve worn it quite often in the beginning. After a while the collar started to get a little tight and the seam of one of the sleeves started to unravel.
Since I loved this shirt so much I couldn’t make myself throw it away, and I’m glad I didn’t.

The tutorial I used for this I first found on pintrest. You can find it here. 

Nice thing about this tutorial that it requires little sewing, and no extra material.
I didn’t follow it completely, since I didn’t want to cut of the bottom of my shirt since I’m quite tall. Instead I used the extra fabric around the collar to make the string, which is why it looks like it came from many pieces. I’m actually considering buying a ribbon for it.

Anyway, it was super simple. It took less then 2 hours, which includes hand sewing and watching tv at the same time. I absolutely love the result since I get to wear one of my favorite shirts again :D

Hope you find some inspiration from it.

Hi guys,

Sorry for not updating more often. Life got in the way.
I just want to show you guys a sneak preview of what I’ve been doing today.
It was a lot of fun, and I’m really happy with the results!

I’ll tell about them individually, since I’d also like to credit the people who made the tutorial.
You can expect some more of these somewhere in the near future. As  you can see I still have some shirts left, and Bir has promised me to help me with the tutorial I posted a while back! Yay!

Expect more soon!

Hello Everyone,

If you look up you can see my second assignment, the no shopping contract.
Those are pretty much the reason why I’m not shopping. Besides those I’m also trying to become really environmental friendly, so not wasting is a big part of that.

Assignment #3
Find a buddy and ask him/her to help you to fulfill your personal challenge

Well, this part won’t be really necessary since Bir is my buddy and I’m hers!

So my mom isn’t really helping me either. She has a habit of leaving old stuff she doesn’t wear anymore in my room thinking I can have it. Of course I can’t accept it.. Anyway, when I checked this morning I actually quite liked what she left…
So the perfect solution to this is a trade! I went looking trough my closet and found something I could give her back in return. (Even though she doesn’t know it yet XD)

Hope you all have a great day!

Since I was wearing one of my favorite outfits, I thought I could show you :) This is also an attempt to keep updating the blog XD

Anyway, I love how the blue and the black have such a big contrast. Yes I like wearing black, but I love combining it with bright colours!
This outfit also has some good memories, because the first time I wore it was to my first Faun (favorite band) concert. I didn’t have the black longsleeve under it and combined it with a skirt though.

Funny how you can associate clothes with special moments :)

Have a good night Tumblr

So Free Fashion Challenge send me my first assignment yesterday.

Assignment #1
Make an inventory of your wardrobe and describe/illustrate/photograph/document the content of your wardrobe.  

The inventory I’ve already done. Here is a photograph of my closet. Yes, most of my clothes are black. That is what I meant when I wrote that we are two best friends with very different tastes in clothes.
