trying my hand at diy..

let me warn you first by saying that i am probably one of the least creative person in the planet. but before all the career updates that happened last week, i decided to try my hand at diy-ing my old things just to keep me busy.

i have acquired so many shirts from the past, that shredding them was my best option. the shredding technique/style must have been so last season already, but what the heck, right?

get some scissors and a tee

cut the ends

start picking out the threads

continue shredding until desired shape, length, size

the less perfect it is, the more raw it looks

also, remember the package i got here? well it turns out that it's from new york design shop. they sent me a canvas tote and some ribbon pins/appliques to play with. i would have to say that they have amazing materials for your diy pleasure. plus, they have tutorials on how to use their stuff.

this ribbon that i got had pins at the back so i can easily attach them to anything. it totally ups the cute factor of any piece! hahaha! a pair of flats + ribbons = cute cute cute!

joe fresh flats, nyds ribbons

i tried to incorporate my diy stuff into one outfit today so i wore the shredded tee with a plain black skirt and pinned the ribbon and another brooch in front.

outfit: diy shredded tee and skirt from divi

forever 21 brooch, nyds ribbon & tote bag

and this is what happens because i use my self timer to take photos! major bloopers with some hair flipping, what?! hahaha!
