Considering the sunshine today, going all black and 'goth-esque' was probably not one of my best ideas.  Nonetheless, I bought this mesh tee recently and I couldn't wait to wear it any longer... So here it is.  If you saw my last post you'll have seen these DIY'd Levi's and I'm totally loving them!  Still annoyed you can't see the rips all too well but I suppose I'll live.

Not going to lie, I did receive a few funny looks for wearing this... I didn't think it was overly shocking?  Maybe the people of my town just aren't ready for mesh.  What kind of a place am I living in...

I just wore this to do some shopping today, I bought some cute fabrics and I'm planning on making a kimono and another dress.  I'm thinking of doing a DIY series?  A few tutorials and just showing you guys things I've been making?  Let me know if you'd like it.

DIY Distressed Shorts & Me being Inspired

I've been loving the look of super ripped up distressed shorts recently, but I didn't want to attempt it at all myself....  Previously when I've tried, all I've done it utterly ruin expensive items of clothing... Fortunately, this time around, these black Levi's didn't cost me very much nor were they particularly unique or something I couldn't buy again if my DIY went wrong.

But of course, I sought out the help from The Fashion Citizen!  I love Stephanie and Melissa's style and I wish I lived somewhere as hot and perfect as Arizona.  But alas I do not...

Their tutorial shows you exactly how to distress the shorts in the super cool ripped way, so check ittttt.  Although, I did end up with black fluff all over the floor of my bedroom... A bare-able downside.

As much as I love the outcome, I'm going to do it again on a blue pair soon.  The black thread of the shorts make it so you can barely see the rips :-(.  

Still mega happy!
