DIY Friday

For this weeks DIY Friday my inspiration came from two pictures, which I find to be so beautiful and delicate. One is a picture of soft ballet themed garments and the other is a picture of Siri Tollerød. I think both of the pictures came from either Fydez or Holly's Tumblrs.. (I need to start writing this down).
The total cost of this DIY project is only about 18 dollars and it only involves scissors (a dream come true, no?).

On Thursday I stopped into H&M and picked up a sheer pink tank top for five dollars and a long sleeve shirt for twelve dollars. I bought them both a couple sizes too big so that the tank top would be long enough to be worn as a dress and the top would be loose enough to hang freely.

When I got back to my apartment I put the shirt on over the tank top and marked out where I wanted to make the cut with a pencil. I took the shirt off, I put it on the floor and made an even cut across. That is all!
 All photographs taken for this blog (unless otherwise stated) are taken by Jordan Romanoff. He is a lovely photographer (in fact his whole family is photography talented, you may have noticed both his Father's photographs and his sister Zan's photographs in our last issue) and his blog has pictures from coast to coast.

Inspiration: pinks, blues, palm trees, clouds, L.A.

Inspiration: Black silhouettes of palm trees against highly saturated pinks or pastel clouds. 

I get a completely We Are Handsome vibe from these images, they remind me especially of the WAH LA bathing suit that I love. I also cannot help but to think of Juicy Couture (secretly I love their clothes, they are so feminine and their children's clothing fits me perfectly... I won't lie I have a load of their velour tracksuits. Do not judge!).
 I do not know why but it all makes me think of leopard print. It also makes me think of white. Here is the result:
