Style is not expensive - Nina Garcia

Style is not all about Designer Labels. You can always do with what you have in your closet and reinvent them if needed. I did this with what I wore yesterday to one of my bff's wedding ;-)

I love color blocking this summer and so I checked my closet and see what I can make with what I have. Since sheer maxi skirt is in nowadays, ok, i chose this neon tangerine, sheer/chiffon skirt in my closet:

The maxi skirt is really full at two meters so I need to wear a top that will make me look thin and so I thought of this corset:

The neon maxi skirt is so bright so I just find this corset top to have many colors or details (for me, white and fuschia is too much for the neon skirt hehe)

I decided then to buy a half meter violet cloth (at only P40 hehe) to cover this bustier so I could still have the fitted form of this bustier and achieve the plain color. So here are the pics of what I did:

1. Get my Styling Kit - thread, needle and scissors

2. follow the form/shape of vintage corset with the violet cloth

3. sew the sides to cover (sorry for the flash hehe)

4. the finish product (ngweek, not perfect but its ok for me haha)

I just added two accessories to my color blocking - orange belt and a bib necklace (c/o Liza Kintanar) then presto!

Again, the fit is not perfect but I had fun in making this project hahaha  I look forward to my next DIYs (Do It Yourself)  ;D

Congratulations to my friend, Hazel Grace and Nolan Supat. Enjoy your honeymoon!
