How to Wear DIY: To work
But, I really, really don't like black, particularly in structured or formal clothes, and so I try to keep it light and fresh for work! Especially this time of year--I am sooooo tired of wintery colors and warm clothes! This week has been teasing us with hot sun and then cool rainy days, but I still want to keep the spring feel going.
So I've been wearing the flares I made into straight pants a lot recently. And I found this comfy, boxy Banana Republic sweater at Goodwill the other day, half off. Not my usual shape but I really have fun with it! It's an easy look. Specially when add a "tranquil" effect to the pics... trying out PicMonkey for editing!
Yay, easy pants!!
Yep, that's what I look like at work most days!
How about you? Do you ever wear DIYs to work?
I work in an arts centre which has an unofficial memo: wear black! Every now and then I got very bright & colorful just to rattle their cages!
ReplyDeleteWow, sounds like you'd have to! Too much black can be a little dull!
DeleteI've been wearing my handmade dresses to work lately. I recently felt confident enough to wear them at work. For ten hours straight without fear of them falling apart! The dresses i have been wearing have self drafter collars and tomorrow is casual Friday so I'm wearing a short Humber so I can head out after work :D
ReplyDeleteHey, congrats! That's great. I don't wear too many dresses to work because so often my dresses are so playful!
DeleteCute look !
ReplyDeleteYes, I try to wear the clothes I've made to work at least a few days a week and I'm trying to also think more about what I need for work when I'm sewing - rather than just making more dresses :-). I work in a corporate environment, so I don't wear anything too crazy looking or party-like to work - but there's still plenty of scope for 'me made'.
Very cool! Yep, dresses are my fave to make but don't always lend themselves to work. I feel ya.
Deletei love this look!! very cute!
ReplyDeleteAaw, thanks!
DeleteThis look is so cute! I just bought a cheap pair of white denim flares from target (70% off of course) that I plan to turn into straight leg jeans soon.

Thanks!
DeleteOoh, sounds awesome! I love white jeans!
CUTE!! I love these simple, classic looks. They will never stop looking good. Also layering things over a plain white button down = my current obsession.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Good point, I love classic looks, too!
DeleteSince I recently lost 30 pounds and need all new clothes, I go to dollar day at Goodwill every week and have been have a ton of fun refashioning clothes. I don't know why I felt I need ten pairs of jeans, but I either cut them off into capris, or just above the knees with a cuff, or make them skinny. So cute. By the way, you should have been a model. Such cute poses.
ReplyDeletePerfect, sounds awesome! I'm sure you'll find something to do with 10 pairs of jeans, haha! I have a bunch of tutorials for things you can do with them, search "jeans" in my search bar...
