In my pre-blog days (a few weeks ago) I didn't accessorize much. On a good day I would wear shoes that matched my "outfit." It's just that accessories aren't cheap. You see, I have the problem that a lot of mothers have where, for about the first 3 years of your child's life, you feel super-guilty doing anything except bending over backwards for them. Every time I have a want, I think about how the money could be better spent on Dom.
Then I realized that he had a much nicer wardrobe than me .
I'm slowly getting over it. I'm proud to say that I've bought a few pairs of jeans recently to replace the one's I've been wearing since high school.
But accessories are still too expensive to me. I don't like spending more on the little details of an outfit than the major components! It's nuts! Scarfs are super trendy now, I like them, and they're easy and CHEAP to make! Double win!
We all have tops that are clinging around our drawers (or hanging out at the thrift store) that we love, but refuse to get rid of. They don't fit, and they're never going to fit... but but but.....
Hi, I'm too short.
Too revealing.
Too much... stuff.
The process is pretty much the same for all of these:
Chop the top. For the jersey knit tops, this is all you have to do. Since this one is cotton, there's an extra step.
Rake your nail along the edge, to give it that frayed-fringy look.
Taa-daa!
If you shirt isn't wide enough to wrap around your neck twice, it helps to make it look fuller by sewing it into a trapezoid shape. Like so:
My dotted line is just accentuating my trapezoid, you would only sew the sides, not the top and bottom.
Three new scarfs for under a dollar! I can live with that :)
