Anthropologie DIY Rare Bloom Tee

April 12, 2010~ DIY DREAM HOUSE

I’ve been on a Anthropologie kick lately and I have a lot more I’m planning on working on, so stay tuned! Many of you asked for tips or a tutorial and after I post the ones I’ve finished already(there’s just one more), I will do my best to take pictures along the way and do a tutorial. Sound good? I bought these earrings for $4 at Charlotte Russe. It’s kind of tacky but I knew it had potential.

I just removed all the middle beads/jewels and after. Simple and beautiful. It literally took me about 20 secs. to transform!
Now on to the Anthropologie shirt. I made a more simplified version of this Rare Bloom Tee. The neckline of this was too low for me personally and I wanted something that could be worn casual or dressy. I bought two plain white t-shirts at Forever 21 for $3.50 each (at Gen X, it’s $4) and used the fabric of one shirt to make the flowers. You can make up to 3 of these flowers using one shirt. Wear it with jeans for a casual look

or tuck it under a skirt for a more dressy look. Just saved over $80. πŸ˜‰

    I love cheap t-shirt makeovers like this! It looks like something you'd buy for a heck of a lot more. I see this in my closet in the very near future…

    How did you make that flower? It looks complicated but I'm hoping a beginning sewer like me can pull it off …
