from plain to purdy.
Ooops… it’s been too long since I last blog. I have to tell you that I haven’t been around blogs lately. I have hundreds of unread post in my Google Reader which explains how long I’ve been away. Sorry! I’ve just been doing a lot of work + school stuffs (read: designing, screen printing, practicing piano, learning chinese, etc…).
So, first of all, happy (belated) Easter to you! Last week, I was in need of an outfit for Easter. I had such a low and tight budget, so it seemed like I couldn’t buy a new outfit. I open up my closet to look for something decent and found this plain, boring, white cardigan from Target. I thought I could pair it with a black and white dress that I have.
Trying to be savvy on a low-budget, I decided to jazz it up just a bit. Not that I have a lot of “fashion” related post on this blog, but I thought I just wanted to share this quickie DIY project :) So, I went to a fabric store and bought some black lace. Also, I always love to browse on the remnant section just because lots of times there’s a lot of great leftover fabrics with marked down prices. I found some black organza and black polyester remnant and which were 50% off (score!). I spent about $5 total in the fabric store, *ka-ching!* Not bad.
Then I got home, spent about an hour to sew using my two bare hands, and voila…
And here it is in action on Easter day. Next to me was the husband, of course.
