Behind the last door of my Fashion DIY Advent calendar hide very easy instructions, which solved my New Year’s Eve outfit dilemma. The dress that I want to put on, looks somehow to be boring (apart from the deep V-neckline) and has to spiced up. The dress has a broad waistband, which gives a nice opportunity to emphasize the center. And because I still had left chains, the shoulder has been “gilded” as well

DIY Advent 23: Push the Buttons
The penultimate instruction in my DIY Advent Calendar is very easy, but it takes about three hours time. For me, the effort has paid off, because my old H & M-overall, which I was wearing no longer at least 2 years, I have made made viable again. The charge compensates the effort, as to get these colorful little buttons found in a 200 pieces package starts at 50 cents.
Even more photos from my pimped jumpsuit you’ll find here in my fashion blog.

DIY Advent 18: Spice Up a Top with Fabric Remnants
This idea was inspired by a photo from an earlier collection by Vivienne Westwood. There I saw skinny jeans, which were provided on one side with colored dots. It looked really great, but I would not like to snip my jeans to pieces, so i took one of my (minimum 100) black tops. I am thrilled with the end result and have already cut some colored circles, which I will now be stuck to my jeans.

DIY Advent 16: Spice Up a Sweatshirt with Shoulder Gathers
Mira asked me how she can spice up sweatshirts, so I let myself think of a few things. First, I show you how a basic sweatshirt, which I usually wore under sweaters in the winter, has become a cool part. You still may extend this project by adding a few colored beads, threads or rhinestones between the fabric ruffles. Meanwhile, I am satisfied with the outcome and will think it over later to see if something can be done. …read more
