And another DIY!

I realized that I had been saying "DIY" for my past two entries (1, 2), when a dear friend Catherine commented with the term "deconstruction"...which I think is more appropriate term for what I did with the two skirts. Didn't actually made them from scratch, I just altered existing ones from my closet! :)

Anyhoo...since my family will be going on a cool cool cool outing this weekend (we're going to Balai--my tita's beach house in Tagaytay! :)) where I'll have the chance to use my "new" swimsuits (bought last year pa but never had the chance to wear them, haha) even though I'll freeze to death in this temperature (plus, it's in Tagaytay! Hahaha!). Don't you miss those? Good ol' family outings...I remember we used to go to those Los Banos Hot Springs every summer (Crystal Spring FTW!)...But as we got older, we only go on "trips" (hindi na outing ang tawag, haha) with friends. And now that I am a bit older, gusto ko na ng outing uli hehe! So excited! :) Hope Cea will swim with me, I realized my friends weren't into swimming/babad, haha! Even my mom hates the water. Ok, enough blabbing! Just reposting a DIY in my ang-bilis-naman-ma-phase-out Anagon Monthly! ;) Hehehe! Tata!


DIY: Modern-Vintage Vest
Create a hip vest from your thrift-store treasure

I bought a vintage vest months ago in an ukay, and thought of giving it a spin to make it more wearable and modern. Here's how:

First, you'll need your denim vest like this rainbow Pepe Jeans find. 

Lay garment flat to estimate desired length.

Cut the vest around 8 inches from bottom end, or till desired length.

Fray edges. 
TIP: You'll get an even more fringed edges after several use and from constant washing of cloth.

Give your vest some attitude by attaching studs. I got mine from an old studded belt! :)

Finished Product:
Now you have your very own funky Studded Striped Bolero! :)

Worn on first photo:


So there, HAPPY WEEKEND! :)) ☮♥✿
