Anthropologie DIY Rare Bloom Tee

~ 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. 😉

Anthropologie Inspiration DIY

~ DIY DREAM HOUSE

I gave this shirt a “makeover” and found the inspiration from a cardigan I saw at Anthropologie.


Before. Got it from Korea for $10.

Then I cut up a turtleneck sweater I had for more than 10+ yrs. for the ruffles.

After.

I just saved $120+ dollars! 🙂

I wanted to make Ariana something cute for her birthday. I was going to make her a flowered shirt but thought a necklace would be more versatile. I made Adalie a necklace also since I knew she would get jealous/sad if I only made something for Ana.

for Adi.
the flowers are clips so it can also be worn on a headband/clothes.


for Ana.
