♥ Fav Picks DIY Lace Shirt


One of the first new features for The Wardrobe in July is a new creation called 'Fav Picks' where I'll show you bits and pieces I have spotted at all your local stores, and how to wear them, tips and tricks, or just cute little pics! Here are some of my favourites so far:



DIY Lace Shirt 
This was the first mini project I worked on, I took an old shirt and added a lace trim to the pocket (right) and on the collar with a hot glue gun. It's really simple and washable too. It's the easy way if you're too lazy to sew!

I took off the original buttons and added a mix up of weird and interesting styles of new buttons to the front to give it some interest. This shirt would be cute dressed with a little lace skirt, a simple t-shirt and some simple statement heels.
You can buy a shirt like this from Kmart, and get the buttons and lace from either Spotlight (That's where I got this lace) or Geoff's Emporium.

Now you can add lace to just about anything, and very soon I will do a tutorial on how to sew lace trimmed socks (super cute! ♥) it's a little trickier because the stitching has to stretch, and there are a few ways you can do it so stay posted!




Jewelry Tree - From Sussan 
Now this amazing little tree is quite small and has a soft white velvet covering it on all the branches, which means that when you hang your pretties on it they stay! This tree is best for rings, and can store lots of them, which is perfect for fashion addicts like me.
