Heyy, I’m the writer of all-thingsrandom.blogspot.com and here is my entry:
Turning Boy clothing into something fashionable(the easy way
)
1st style: the shirt dress
A shirt dress is almost $300 in some stores, and you definitely could say the shirt dress is a comfortable but cute look, with a fancy side. If you don’t want to empty out your purse on this trend but want one of your own; read on. The shirt dress is extremely easy to make:
Step1: Get your dad or boyfriends old shirt (the collared ones with pockets look especially cute).
Step 2: Get (or recycle)t a matching belt to put around the waist of the dress to give some shape to it.
Step 3: Rock your shirt dress!
Accessories to complete this look: Combat boots look AMAZING with shirt dresses and are found at zappos for as low as $21.99. Also, flats are nice if your going for the fancier look. Necklaces in beige and white are a neutral yet cute add-on.
Hair: Like in the picture below, buns look adorable! I also like hair down with a solid color or floral head band
2nd style: Big T-shirts
So say there is this sports t-shirt that your dad or boyfriend or even your brother gets, but then grows out of it quickly. It goes in the give away pile right? No way! You can turn this shirt into some thing just as cute (not as fancy) as the shirt dress and just as quickly!
Step 1: Get your dad or boyfriends or brothers old shirt. Vintage washed ones with sport logos are recommended.
Step 2: Get(or recycle) a matching belt to put around the waist of the dress to give some shape to it.
Step 3 : Find a pair of skinny jeans or leggings or tights to wear under.
Accessories to complete this look: High boots and long necklaces look too pretty and add a little chic and girly touch. Bangles also look good (colored/beaded ones)
Hair: In a side ponytail or braid looks best with this ,but, a thin head band with a high ponytail could look cute too.
3rd style: Ties
Ties (bow or not) look cute on girls too. If you want to add a little preppy too your look; than this is for you!
Step 1: Find a collared shirt (I always find ties look better on shirts with collars but feel free to experiment) Solid colors works best.
Step 2: Find an old tie( bow or not) of your boyfriend, dad or brother and ask them to teach you how to tie it
Step 3: Find the right pair of pants. I like skinny jeans or leggings for this outfit.
Step 4: Find accessories to match
Accessories to complete this look: I like oxfords for this look to finish the whole preppy style. Belts are always cute if you want to tuck in your shirt and you can even use and old tie to do that too!
I hope you now make sure you brother, dad, or boyfriend doesn’t throw away a potentially great outfit in the give away pile!
Thanks a TON for reading (all images are from google images) and the collage was made by me
