With the holidays on their way, you can never go wrong with a sparkly and fun sequin DIY. (But if you’re anything like me, sequins are welcome all year round!) This is an easy way to give life to an old sweater or shirt. I used a Forever 21 sweater, which I actually found at …
Spikes and bows… …Yup, I DIY’d another trench! If you’re a long time reader of s&p, you probably know that I studded a short trench jacket last spring 2011. This time around, I used screw on spikes (instead of studs with prongs), I used a “real” trench coat (which was super cute to begin …
I’ve had this idea brewing in my mind all summer, but didn’t find the perfect materials until recently. Using two pairs of loose fitting pants (below), I made a romper in about a day (above). It might seem complicated at first, but I promise it isn’t! I’d recommend reading through the entire process a few …
Initially, I was going to do this little project on the side, but decided to photograph the steps for s&p anyway. It’s a fun alternative to the usual band shirt vest! For my version I used some floral fabric from a thrifted shirt to make it a little more feminine. See how I made it …
Recently, I turned an old sweater and thrifted pants into this tank top and high waisted shorts. Hopefully it will give you a little inspiration for your next thrifting trip (or maybe even a run down of your own closet). This is also technically a 2-in-1 project, so you guys are in luck!

I love simple things that manage to make a statement. Two color jeans are the perfect example – plus, they’re so easy to make. It’s also a great way to bring a little life to an old pair of jeans (because you know almost all of us have at least one pair we don’t …
I love love love basics. Maybe it’s because they’re so easy to customize, or maybe because I know they’ll match with everything. Either way, I like my basics to be well made and comfy. If you’re the same way, check out Bella – I love the aesthetics of this brand. Their clothing is simple but …
First off: This can either be a tunic or top, depending on the size and fit of the tank top you used. I decided on a Men’s shirt that I’ve had for a few years, so it fit like a tunic on me. You can use an oversized or true-to-size tank top…whatever you’d like! …
Ombre. Lace. Flowy. Summer, anyone? I’m stating right here from the get go that this project is an adaptation of Mackenzie’s Lace Shirt DIY, over at Strokes of Serendipity. I have recreated this project with her permission! This shirt is more or less what Mackenzie made — I just used a different type of lace and dyed it. I’ve …
I used to love t-shirt transfers when I was younger, but eventually got fed up at how the image would (inevitably) crack and crease over time. But! A few weeks ago, I thought – if you can’t change the fact that it’s going to crack…why not just run with it? And who says they …
*EDITED 2/9/11 with reader suggestions!*So, I made this sweatshirt (slash cardigan slash blazer?) kind of on a whim. Didn’t plan it up, improvised and made it up as I went along. Let’s hope it makes sense. By all means, if you decide to make this – improvise the heck out of it and see what …
