and CUT...



If you're like me (DIY-challenged) anything that can be done with a simple pair of scissors and some patience to change up even the most drab looking pieces is a godsend from the crafty beings above. This cutout dress is just that.

What originally started out as my $9 score from Wal-Mart, turned into a hot little peek-abo dress with diamond shapes at the sides. All it took was some tedious shaping (as to make the sides as even as possible) and some even bigger inspiration when my boyfriend pissed me off and I felt like cutting something sexy up. (For that Ian, you're off the hook.)

And the best part? It's so accessible. Think about your closet right now. I bet most of you have some kind of little black dress that needs some ... revamping. Go ahead, try it out. Go crazy. Cut!

Dress: DIY cut out dress, originally from Wal-Mart
Shoes: Black gladiator heels, Steve Madden
Jewelry: Gold, multi-layered charm necklace, Urban Outfitters

    Thanks! I can't emphasize enough just how simple this was. Of course, the cut job could have been a little cleaner, but seriously, if I can do this, anyone can. :)

    Nice one--WAY cheaper than the cut out dress at Urban. I like how you limited it to just two big cut outs. Perhaps you could try several smaller ones on a different dress?
