i always used to be too lazy for diy projects.
well, i kind of still am.
but over the last couple of weeks, everytime I have sat down on the bus after college a couple of ideas have popped into my head..
1. creating some obscenly meticulous latice effect leggings ala rodarte.
2 or settling for an equally gorgeous (and much easier to reproduce) pair ala anja rubik.
3 and getting some studs and sewing them onto the knees of my jeans ala (whisper her name, she smells..) cory kennedy.
my predictions; that ridiculously pain-staking tee shirt project that childhood flames is getting into is going to be the new bleached jeans diy project. then the slashed leggings will follow! if only betting stocks took such predictions..
edit: aww crap. i just checked up on fashion toast and rumi beat me to it! schadenfreude to me, ha.
don't worry about who did what first...i say still go for the slashed leggings and add your own little spin!
ReplyDeleteI am definitely doing some slashing of my own!! I can't wait to see what slash-style you decide to go with :)
ReplyDeletere cory kennedy: ahahahahahahahahahaha
ReplyDeleteI want to do a pair of jeans like that too!
ReplyDeletehaha this is hilarious! i was just about to post this! i had it scheduled and everything
ReplyDeleteoh well, might as well. im obsessed with the slashed leggings
so easy to make too!
I'm really feeling the slashed leggings look too, and Camille's tee project is crazy!
ReplyDeleteim such a copy cat :P but blogs are for inspiration, no?
ReplyDeletex
aw really? which ones? i quite like them all, i think...
i love the jeans with the studded knees!
ReplyDeletehaha aw i'm sure you could pull it off equally if not better than rumi.
ReplyDeletethis is such a great idea, i'd have no idea where to start.
and i'm that lazy person, i always say i'll diy and never do. i have studs sitting around from 2 months ago waiting to be used.
it's a sin being lazy! i'm exrta lazy! everytime i think about a project i get excited but then i dont even bother to start it :/
ReplyDeleteluuuv anja's leggings. i could possibly wear them if i owned them!!
I think you can do an even more extreme version of Rumi's ones....slashes ALL the way down!
ReplyDeleteI feel very diy too... I want to try the Maison Martin Margiela denims... risky! :P
ReplyDeletei realllyyyy like the knee stud idea, i might have to try that out
ReplyDeleteWhere on earth can I get those slashed leggings? I'm no good at diy...help me please.
ReplyDeleteBridget, they're from Wolford.
