Top - DIY

Pashima - flea markets

Pants - DIY
Belt necklaces - DIY

Shoes - June+Julia

This week I’ve been experimenting quite a lot with creating tops, which is mostly an aversion from my never-ending thesis-induced stress! Instead, I’m enjoying this way too much. Oops. :p

In this episode, I’m once again parading my DIY top, the result of approximately two hours of experimentation. I’ve stacked a white T-shirt and white chiffon scarf, where the scarf has been sewn onto the T-shirt by hand to give off that drapery accent. If you look at it from the façade, it looks like I have a blouse on but from the back it simply looks like a T-shirt. It’s so simply interchangeable, if you ever get fed up of the whole blouse look.

To add the ‘impression’ of layering, I threw my mother’s pashmina on my left shoulder, just to add some nonchalant element to it. Besides my DIY tops, I also make DIY “belt necklaces”, chiefly inspired by the Hermés Spring 2011 collection. I’m actually planning on making a belt that’s inspired by the Lanvin Spring 2011 collection :).
