Customize “it”

Since fashion is REALLY just our own expression of personal style, we’re seeing more people buy something generic from high-street labels and turn it into something completely different by the time they wear it.
You may not even recognize the same top! Of course designers started making clothes that are meant to look like you customized it yourself – which is almost the same as rocking a knock in my opinion…
- Any shirt you want.
- Thread & sewing needles of different sizes.
- Studs, jewels, badges, mini-locks, etc.
- Scissors.
- Salt.
Easy Tips:
-For a vintage look add loads of salt to the washer for exaggerated fading.
- For an update on a shirt you already love cut the inner and outer seams and add a small strip of cloth (preferably lace or silk) fix it between the seams and put it back together.
-Not sure where to put those add-on’s? Mix them all together and put them in line at the edge of the collar or sleeves.
If we want it done right we have to do it ourselves.

I completely agree!
Getting crafty with your clothing is completely addictive and truly rewarding when you know you are in your own one of kind creation.
