PostHeaderIcon Final AMSB Challenge: Tie-Dye Leggings

The fifth and final challenge for America’s Most Stylish Blogger involved a pair of tie-dye leggings by Plan B, courtesy of Bluefly.

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?

PostHeaderIcon DIY: Belt to Bondage Anklets

It’s been a little while since my last DIY, but I’ve been storming up some ideas over the past few weeks and am excited to share the latest. This one involves transforming a Forever 21 belt into studded, borderline bondage, ankle cuffs.

I wasn’t necessarily trying to accomplish a specific style, but I think I was subconsciously channeling Balmain. I’ve also been looking for a reason to wear my gladiator wedges again.
