OOTD Friday

Went into town with my mum yesterday to find a cardigan and some dye so i can do some DIY tie dye shirts. went into john lewis to the haberdashery and was told the dye was downstairs?!?!?! no where near the haberdashery but near the cleaning products, which i thought was completely ridiculous but managed to find some purple and blue, i will do a DIY post when i've done the tops :)

Anyway here is a comfy outfi (sorry its getting a bit repetitive with the shorts, it's just too hot to wear anything else atm)t; top- new look, shorts- topshop, socks- no idea.
Even though i took these photos a couple weeks ago i actually wore this while (apart from the socks) i really love the top as its got an aztec pattern on it, and i like the fact that its slightly see-through (i don't know what my obsession with see-through things is) its also a really light material and great for summer :)

DIY No. 1 Cross Top

Was flicking through this months Campany and saw this outfit and really liked the vest top this DJ was wearing that was from topshop, as it was probs not in stores anymore and i don't think i would have been able to afford it anyway, i decided i'd make my own!

What you need; a black t shirt, i got mine from primark for £1! fabric cutting sissors, piece of paper and some chalk


















T shirt















Fold the shirt in half


Then make a cross with the paper

Put the paper down the side of the shirt and draw around the edge with the chalk (sorry i don't have this pic!)

and start cutting! making sure not to cut the middle (just yet, as you wanna cut it the other way)









Make sure not to cut to thinly as it will stretch in the wash


(make sure to cut the middle part the other way, to give it a different effect)
This is what it looks like on, make sure to wash is after to get rid of the chalk! i will make sure to do an outfit  post :)















It was so easy to do, if anyone else tries it, tell me! :)
