Do It Yourself Style

Tough times call for tough measures. Let's face it, there's a lot of stuff out there to buy (some of it very cute and seriously tempting) but with a little time and effort you can create a lot of these looks right at home (i.e. trends like denim cutoffs and sexy sweat shirts). Save some money , have fun, and do it yourself. I might be fun to explore your creative side (I'll pick a DIY project and get back to you later). Have a successful week!





A cool twist on the khaki trend (paint optional) from Teen Vogue and designer Chris Benz. I'd try this idea on khaki or denim. Check it out!

It doesn't get any easier than this. Alexander Wang does a lot this look this season (he slashed the back of a otherwise classic looking cardigan). Try this technique on any top yourself. See how easy it is to create the tank shown here.

BTW, Forever 21 has a blog The Skinny that has a variety of cool, fairly easy DIY projects. Take a look-don't worry they don't ask for ID.
