DIY: shoulder pad fringe!





As is the case with all of my DIY posts, as long as there is glue, scissors and minimal sewing involved, I'm cool with it. This project was no different.

Lazy? Maybe I am.

I originally got this idea from Ms. Arabelle of Fashion Pirates, when she was sporting a similar t-shirt at the New York City Weardrobe conference. Then I also spotted it on Andy of Style Scrapbook. Enough was enough. I had to make my own.

Well two shoulder pads (from an old blazer), some fringe ribbon (purchased at Wal-Mart), some glue and sewing later, I had my bold shoulder buddies.

Now go get your own. Carry on.

Shirt: Grey v-neck, Target
Jeans: Distressed bullhead jeans, PacSun
Shoes: Black heels, Aldo
Jewelry: Multi-layer silver chain necklace, Simply Vera

  10. Whenever I say or type, "Carry On," I can't not envision myself as Tim Gunn on Project Runway.

    Fun Fact.
