Early this year, I made some purchases from FASHIONNOVA and I haven’t styled them, I took a good
pause reflecting on personal goals for my blog, business, career and creating DIY posts. I hope you’ve checked out my previous post here.

The best way I wore the plunge was with a full button and I thought about my white flare jeans. I’ve had the flare white jeans since 2015 and I’ve rocked it gazzillon times.

What other way to wear pink than with white. I had worn this top with a skinny blue jeans (lost the picture every where after I deleted it from instagram) and I didn’t like the look because all the attention was still at the top.

DIY basic T-shirts to embroidered rose T- shirt

Embroidered patches has taken the world by storm; from Dolce & Gabana – embroidery being their signature detail to the latest Gucci trend and I am more than obsessed!
Patches are fun way to stand out and add a frisky, unique twist to your outfits.
Literally no one likes to wear what everyone else wears, patches can be customized to match your outfits which can elucidate vibrancy in your personality.
In today’s post I’m using an embroidered rose applique to create my own unique ensemble of art.

What you’ll need:

* plain white shirt
* embroidered rose applique – I got mine here.
* an iron
* a cardboard

How to:

1. Place the cardboard between the shirt.

DIY: The Off-Shoulder Top

Pretty much, the off-the shoulder trend is all around. A trend that has been, is and would stick around for a while. I made mine off an excess fabric I had and pulled this outfit in no time with just ‘a needle and a thread’. You can pull this off if you feel you want to go with the trend in this simple DIY tips.

You’ll need:

  • A pair of scissors
  • A needle
  • A thread
  • Elastic band
  • Safety pin
  • An African fabric

How to:

1. Cut two equal fabric measured from your should to your waist for the top.
