D.I.Y. #1

Well as I promised, I will be posting how I made some of my clothes in this section. Don't get too excited though. I don't really make my clothes every time. So posts here will be very limited. Sorry.
But enough of the chit chat.
So last week, I was going to attend a friends birthday party... And shockingly, I haven't got any clue on what I was going to wear that time. When I was going through my closet, the only thing that I found appropriate for the occasion was a plain Zara Gray shirt. Well that is because the theme for the party was "relaxed"...and my clothes are no way suited for that theme. Ha-ha!
So at first, I was like, "Okay you can pull this look off. Wear some harem pants, a cap and your all-mighty Chucks with it then you're set to go". BUT, a day before my friend's party, I wanted to wear something else instead. The down side is, I don't have time to go to the mall and grab something (considering I only shop at Greenbelt and Rockwell).
And so, the creative side of KYLE SY kicked in again. I remember when I was in Zara Greenbelt a few months ago, I saw a faded blue shirt with studs on the shoulder. I so wanted to get that that time. However, upon much thought, the fabric used to make the shirt was not something I'm comfortable with. It's the kind of fabric that sticks to your body when you sweat. And I'm not a fan of that fabric AT ALL. So, with a broken heart, I left the store without buying it.
But no regrets though, cause at least, I had the chance to make my own studded shirt. Here's how I made mine:

1. Lay your shirt on a flat surface and make sure everything is in place.


2. Measure your desired length for the bottom part of the shirt. Then leave a mark on it.


3. Cut the front part of the shirt. Leave the back part to retain the original length of it. (It gives the shirt a more edgy look.)


4. Buy some inexpensive clip-on studs. Individually place them on the shoulder part of the shirt. Well you can place them anywhere you like actually. But I chose mine to be placed on the shoulders.


5. Add more studs on the bottom part of the shirt to give it that extra something.


Then, after much anticipation, here it is!



The down side to this is that you have to remove the studs every time you're gonna have it washed. Well, the price you pay for fashion. Ha-Ha!
I will post here soon how the actual shirt looks like when worn properly.
I hope you guys liked my first ever D.I.Y. post! Don't forget to follow me here and on Twitter!
