o'kay.. i was wondering if anyone does something fashionable that is creative.. like that no one else does.. or few people do. I hope you understand my topic..

for instance..
i just made this cute skirt out of a pair of Express jeans and i cut the top off of another pair

WOW that is cool! Yea I know what you're saying Bebechick!

Well, the only creative thing that I did was to make a denim pillow!! Out of a pair of old jeans! But otherwise, I kinda suck in creative fields...

oh! also one more thing...

I read in a Seventeen mag years ago about how you can cut off the tops of an old pair of pantyhose...and how you can attach those "legs" to a sleeveless top. It's actually pretty cool...provided, of course, that you pick the RIGHT kind of pantyhose! (The mag showed the finished product...the pantyhose was really nice--patterned, so you couldn't tell that it was orignially pantyhose.)

If anyone wants to know how to do it--email me or post here, I'll try to find that mag again to post the instructions!

ok... i'm a dork so i would do something like this. LOL.....

i wanted a tshirt... specifically a tshirt with a penguin on it... but its hard to find something like that.... so i went to walmart and bought some iron on tshirt transfer paper, found cute penguins online, printed it out.. and put in on a plain ol' white hanes tshirt... now ive got a really cute shirt, and it means more, cuz i did it myself. also, everywhere i go, im seeing wife beater style a-shirts in different colors with funny things written on them, but they cost like $20.... with the iron on transfer, the a-shirt can say what YOU want in to say, and girls, you can get 3 of those shirts in the mens section for like $5.... also, for smaller girls, the little boys ashirts come in lots of colors at most walmart/target stores for really cheap. so it doesnt just have to be plain 'ol white.

unique style. creativity. pride.
happy ironing!

sometimes I wear two polos that are contrastinc colors like blue and orange it looks kinda neat, and it changes an ordinary polo into something cool and unique.

I TRY to do creative things with old clothes to give them a new look, but sometimes they end up turning out bad. For instance, once I cut the top of an old pair of jeans to give them that frayed waistband, but I ended up cutting too much off, so when I zipped up the jeans, the zipper flew right off the pants! But, I've also cut the bottoms of another old pair of jeans to give them a frayed look at the end, and my friend asked me where I bought them from. Haha. Or, I've cut the bottom of old shirts so I can use the strip of material as a belt or just as an accessory to my jeans.

But my last summer project before I go back to school is to make a letter shirt with studs on this 3/4 length black shirt that I bought. Hopefully, it will turn out cute.
