PostHeaderIcon Contemplating: Is this Dress DIY Worthy?

topshopdiy.jpg

I’ve done some similar DIY projects in the past and think this one could be easy. I’m not really feeling how Topshop styled it with the neon, but have some other ideas in mind. Also, I can’t decide if I’m over the cut-up layered clothes…

What do you think? Should I do it?

  • i kind of agree about being over the cut up look. but if you can make it cheap why not? it’s worth it to wear a few times. i like it with the chunky jewelry

  • BriCooper says:

    I’m definitely not sick of the layered look. I’ve never really gone for the cut up look but you pull off edginess well :) I say do it!!

  • Retro Chick says:

    I think you should do it!

    Why not?

  • mayk says:

    do itttttt. I think a nude tube dress underneath would be HOT.

  • dreamsequins says:

    I think this look will continue to reign this summer. Do ittttt.

  • Definitely give it a go! x

  • JordyBee says:

    glamouricious – I like the chunky jewelry too. I think I could find a way to put a new spin on the tired trend.

    BriCooper – We’ll see, thanks!

    Jessica – Thx!

    Retro Chick – So far all yes…giving into the peer pressure!

    mayk – Love the idea of layering a nude mini underneath!

    dreamsequins – Haha, you’re right…could get lots of wears this summer.

    Frankie – Thx! I think I’m gonna!

  • Please do it! I’m so envious of people like yourself who have the talent to do such a project. If I did it, it would end up looking like a crazed three-year-old got a hold of some scissors. I would love to see your end-product!

  • Sara says:

    As a child of the 80′s…the answer is NO! Please don’t do this. And if you do, I want to see you with a matching perm, plastic hoop earrings, and big ol’ bangs. ;)

  • JordyBee says:

    Sara – As someone who has seen my style in person, you know I wouldn’t make it 80′s. I think you just made up my mind for me.

  • Sara says:

    LOL, yeah that’s true…you wouldn’t do it with the neon! You’d do it up classy and sassy!

  • Amy says:

    Looks cute and could be fun to do. Maybe make it in a 90s style!

  • Candice says:

    Sorry, I’m not feeling it, neon or no. it would be a bit like wearing a Karl Lagerfeld car wash skirt right now…not the right moment.

  • JordyBee says:

    Sara – LOL, you’ll see.

    Amy – Thx for the encouragement. I think I subsconsciously wanted ppl to convince me to do it. I love DIYing.

    Candice – I don’t think it will, but I guess we just have different taste.

  • alixrose says:

    You may have already made up your mind but just in case you were wondering on what my two cents would be.. wait no more… do it!!!

  • Yes! I think it would look awesome on you

  • julia says:

    I’d definitely do it. I’m doing a DIY tonight myself for an 80s themed karaoke party later… Horizontally slitting up some black leggings and if I’m feeling adventurous, maybe bedazzling with some studs!

  • yvesmartini says:

    Naah. This aint a winner.
    U deserve better ;)

  • Cordelia says:

    HEY JORDANA, IM TRYING TO SEND YOU THE CONFIRMATION EMAIL BUT THE MAIL KEEPS SENDING IT BACK TO ME. IS YOUR MAILBOX FULL OR DO YOU HAVE ANOTHER ALTERNATE EMAIL ADDRESS?

    CORDELIA -

  • Jenny DB says:

    Jordana- whats with the 80s hostility? ;) i love the 80s look. Fill me in.. is 80s no longer classy? Was it ever classy? :) haha

  • Lindsay says:

    I was reading all of the “do it” responses followed by Sara’s comment. Haha. I wouldn’t do it with the neon. I’m not sure about it at all but I have no doubt you can pull it off.

  • Chiming in a bit late here, but I think you should definitely go for it. If you can find a cheap black dress or if you have one already, I think it’s worth a try!

  • Annie says:

    I think it would be cool, especially if you just did the outer shell black part (if possible) and then you could have more color choices to wear under it. I say go for it!

  • Brianna says:

    The 80s called. They want their skanky dress back.

  • aintgotshitonme09 says:

    dont listen to brianna!!!!! thats shit is badass i would buy it and wear it i absolutely love it!! I WANT ONE
