How to: Get a new skirt, from an old shirt!

Here's how to wear a shirt as a skirt! Oversized/your dad's will probably work best!

1. Wrap the shirt around your hips and button up the buttons from the bottom 'til about halfway.
2. Pull the shirt up (mine is usually to my ribs) 'til the skirt is the length you want it then button up as many buttons as you can, you probably won't button all of them up but that doesn't matter.
3. Take the shirt sleeve cuffs, one in each hand, and tie it around your waist as many times as you want so the skirt will stay up.

I usually wear this with tights made into long socks (to learn how to make them check this out: http://crazyandslightlyobsessed.blogspot.com/2010/11/how-to-recycle-old-tightscreate-long.html) and a hoodie! A very versatile look, wear with heels and accessories for a dressed-up look or flats for a casual look!

How to: Recycle old tights/Create long socks from tights!

So, you've got some tights but they've got a huge noticeable hole(s) in them, what do you do? Make socks outa them :) you can do this without holes in your tights first but it's kinda a waste of a pair of tights! :D
So, here's what you gotta do:

1. Grab a pair of scissors and wear your tights (you can take them off but I find it easier to know how long my socks will be if I'm wearing my tights).
2. Wherever the hole(s) is just start cutting across, I usually do this just above my knee. If you have no holes just cut into the tights. Try and make it straight-ish but it doesn't matter if it's a bit rough, that won't be showing.
3. If you want paint clear nail varnish across the top of the cut socks/tights to keep them from ladder-ing (that's not a word is it?) and then roll the tops down just a little I usually roll them down to just below my knees.
4. Et voila! :D

The Many Ways to Wear Your Dad's Shirt :)

I stole my dad's shirt a while ago and am loving wearing it as many ways as I can!

1. Wear it as a dress - wear black leggings and a vest top/strappy top Put on the oversized shirt and button it up, leaving the top few undone so you can see just the top of your vest top. Roll the sleeves up to your elbows and put a waist belt around your waist - or you could buckle a normal belt around your hips. I like wearing this with converse!
2. Wear a top and jeans and put the shirt on - unbuttoned completely - to just drape by your sides. Roll the sleeves up to your elbows.
3. Repeat as above, but hold the ends of both sides of the shirt and tie it in a knot at your front. It should be tied like in this image:
4. Just wear it buttoned up and loose over some trousers or something :)

How to dress casually in party-wear...

Here's how to be that one girl who goes against the flow, who everyone wants to be like. The girl who is so effortlessly cool!

When going to a disco/some other kind of big party dresses kinda party:

• Choose your dress, make it the kind you'd wear to any other party - make it gorgeous!
• Wear a pair of comfy shoes but ones that still look good (so crocs are out! :D) - converse are great, or maybe uggs though haven't tried those yet!
• Wear a leather jacket over your dress to rock it up.
• If you want to get a hat (beanies are my favourites!) and wear that as well! For the more casual side of 'casual chic' (I don't know if this is made-up or what...) wear your hair as normal, non-styled or just slightly straightened or waved. For the more chic side curl or straighten your hair and then jam the hat over the top! :) Just be careful if you take the hat off - bad hair alert! :D

Timeless Style (As Far As I'm Concerned)

Now I'm no good at keeping up with the new season's fashion, only now am I obsessed with military stuff and I think that's over now...
But here's my idea of timeless fashion:

Beanies & Berets -
<An example of a cute beret.
<A beeeanie.

Military -


Varsity -

You can't beat a bit o' military, and varsity is just :O and BEANIES&BERETS!

Trust me, take my advice and wear a bit o' military, varsity, beanies&berets! Be daring, wear them when they're soooooo last season! :D

Trends - Sailor!

I've never really been one to follow trends, I prefer to just buy jeans and shorts to wear all the time! But I LOVE the sailor trend. Now, I don't know whether it's gone out of style already or not but I'm keeping it up! I have a sailor-style dress, shorts, skirt and top :) A bit OTT I know but you gotta go for it right? :D I've never really followed any other trends, I'm more the short shorts and converse kinda girl than dresses and heels. :)
What other trends do you follow? Are you a shorts&converse or dresses&heels or another kinda girl?

HATS!

So I've got this habit, if I own any hats I wear them if I like them for the first month or so but then I just forget about them. But if one of my friends gets a hat then I'll wear it for as long as they'll let me! :D But I'm doing a post on hats, what are your favourite hats?
I think I'm gonna start wearing beanie hats alot more. I've got one at the moment and I love it but it's all sequinny so not really for everyday... But I love beanie's! They're just me, my style... So I'm gonna buy those wooly beanies especially since it's freezing now...
Here's the two I really want:
 Panda!! You gotta love it!

 This is just so me!! :)

What types of hats are there? I can only think of beanies, trilbys and caps and out of them I'd only wear the beanies. :)
