DIY....Dreamcatcher

After a enjoying a beautiful fall weekend in northern Minnesota, I felt inspired by all the beautiful dreamcatchers I came across in a shop in Grand Rapids. When I returned, I immediately started searching for DIY's and came across the one below. Can't wait for a cold fall day to test this out! Until then, I am going to continue to enjoy these 80 degree days!

Why didn't I think of that?!

Loving this idea I saw on Chictopia.com. Why not turn your long sleeve button up into a skirt!






DIY THE STYLE

1. A symmetrical
1. Get any long sleeved button up shirt. (It’s optimal to get a shirt that’s long and loose.)
2. The head part of the shirt will be your waistline. Wrap the shirt around your hips (with the collar behind, sleeves on the side). As it’s wrapped around your waist/hips, you’ll want to start buttoning up from the bottom of the shirt.
3. As you’re buttoning, instead of doing all the buttons, skip a couple of holes. Then, button as high as you want until the desired length of the skirt.
4. When you’re finished, you’ll discover that one side of your ‘skirt’ is higher than the other. (It’s intentional to look ‘asymmetrical!’)
5. Get your sleeves and tie the knot in the front.
Viola! Instead of just wearing one trend, you’ll be wearing two with this asymmetrical skirt.
