When it comes to my DIY-style, there certainly are those times that I block off a whole day & go balls to the walls on a project, but in reality– it’s pretty rare I’ve got that sort of spare time lying around. As much as I love getting in the creative “zone”, I do not love the idea of spending my entire Sunday knee deep in paint/super glue. No thanks.
I am just one of those people, & this isn’t something I’m proud of, that prefers instant results in everything I do (hence why the gym has never worked for me- oops.). So, when I start a project, I am not keen on waiting 5 days for it to actually be finished.
Some example’s of quick & easy DIY projects I’ve done in the past:
+ Turning two necklaces into a rad foot-piece.
+ Adding cut-outs to my sneaks.
+ Throwing some daisy trim on an old tank.
+ Studding up a clutch.
+ Embellishing some cheap-o sunnies.
+ Painting the soles of a pair of heels w/ nail polish.
My best DIY projects actually come out of last minute decisions “i.e. these jeans would look way better as shorts & w/ some rips in ’em”.
This bikini is the perfect example (top found here // bottom found here). I was on the search for a new swimsuit for Summer, & this one was amaze!! I love the bright colors, the sexy tie-up back, the cheeky cut & the flattering shape of the top.
Cute, right? Yes! Even cuter with some added suede fringe trim? Absolutelyyyyy.
Check out all my DIY deets on this boho inspired fringe bathing suit top over at the Forever 21 blog.

P.S. It looks extra fab under a baggy white tank & some ripped denim cut-offs on your way to the beach.
