As I’m sure all of you are aware of — Crop Tops are big right now. Sometimes for plus size gals (or any size gals!) it is hard to find exactly what you want for yourself in retail stores. I came up with an EASY NO SEW DIY to make your very one, personalized CROP TOP! Simply follow the steps below.

 

Please note: All edges of crop top in this DIY will be unfinished and will have a “rolled” effect.

Summer Inspiration: Bold

June 3, 2014

As the change in season from spring to summer is rapidly approaching, I feel the urge to change my fashion inspiration.  In the summer colors tend to get bolder and brighter from the muted, softer colors of spring.

Sticking with my love of vintage and retro, I got my summer inspiration from bright primary colors, basic shapes, and girly silhouettes. All images in my above inspiration board can be found on my Pinterest Board entitled, “Inspiration – Summer 2014.” Below, you can find some of my favorite summer pieces inspired by my board.
