Fringe Benefits

I decided to put my Fringe DIY from a few Fridays ago to good use and throw it over a tank top dress form LAmade. Feeling a little 'desert-wanderer' and a lot like Dennis Hopper in Easy Rider, I decided to pair my look with suede black boots from Steven by Steve Madden. Unlike the movie, my evening did not pan out (yes, I did just use a film pun) to be anything like the buddy film. I think Jordan and I just ended up watching old episodes of Community. I DID end up trying on Jordan's leather jacket that his father wore when he used to ride motorcycles... but that just made me feel a little like Kate Moss. 

Images from Easy Rider (there IS fringe in this movie I swear)

Oh and here is a picture of Jordan's father who is not wearing the leather jacket but looking v. Easy Rider (Do not worry Mum and Dad, when I do a post on dressing like a disco boy and hanging out at Studio 54 [dad] and a post about dressing like a seriously stylish pre-med student living in Colorado during the 70s [mum], and trust me the time will come, you will see your pics on here too!). Points to us for having cool/stylish parents! Alright, later! 

Also, thank Jordan for the grade A post title! 

DIY Monday: Fringe

DIY Monday was not actually scheduled, and I may have done this on Saturday if not Friday. I did not make the diamonds, nor do I own them... Thanks Harry Winston, you are forever an inspiration! 

For DIY Monday (not going to make a habit out of this one) I made a fringe shirt. I have been wanting something new fringe for awhile now and after my recent DIY mindset (closet oriented only) I decide to take matters into my own hands and do it myself. 

I am sure you already know how to make a fringe anything, but at the risk of knowing that there could be one person out there who does not know (and I cannot let that happen) how I will explain what I did.

To do this take a shirt, I bought a long sleeved black shirt from H&M, and put it flat on the floor. Measure how long you want your shirt/vest/skirt to be and mark it with a pencil. With a pair of scissors cut strips in the fabric. If you want to be precise I would suggest marking everything out with a ruler. I made the front shorter than the back but you do not have to. There you go!
