Cut It Out

Ok, why was it in the 40s here in DC the other day? What was up with that? I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for a nice warm summer and all the fashion trends it encourages. One trend I love is the open back top.

Layered over bright colors, it adds some fun while still keeping you cool.

Summer Tops

Hooray for this warm weather! It can get especially hot in Boise (remember, I’m here for the summer) so sleeves are a no-go. Luckily, there are a lot of cute tanks out there and that style is pretty easy for me to make. Here’s my latest attempt:

And here are a few of my favorites around the web:

Happy Accident

While cleaning my apartment this week, I accidentally got a little bleach along the neckline of my tank top. Bummer, right?

Wrong! I thought it actually looked interesting, or rather that it had the potential to look interesting, so I decided to bleach the whole top! Since splattering seemed to work out fine, I figured I’d splatter it all.

First I put on some crummy clothes that I wouldn’t mind messing up. Then I laid the tank down on an old towel. Since I’m an expert, I only use the best materials: an old sock and all purpose cleaner with bleach.

I unscrewed the sprayer and shook the long straw over the top. I didn’t spray it because I was afraid of getting big globs on the top.

Then I flipped over the top and repeated the process.

This looked alright, but it seemed to be missing something…..stars! So I made some star stencils out of a piece of plastic I found laying around the apartment.

Then I put an old magazine inside the tank top and placed the stencil on the fabric.

I sprayed bleach onto my old sock and used it to dab the fabric in the stencils.

I was careful not to over dab so the stars wouldn’t bleed.

I liked it so much that I carried the stars to the front.

What do you think?

Will you try to bleach any of your clothes? If you do, send in a pic and I’ll post it!

Summer Tops

Rain rain go AWAY! I’ve got all these cute summer tops that I want to wear… Ah, but in the mean time, I can do some window shopping at A’Gaci. What’s great about this site is all the tops are about $15 – 20!

I like versatile tops so I can get my money’s worth. This top would look cute with jeans in the daytime or slacks in the evening.

Dressing up is nice, but I prefer more casual tops like razorbacks.

And I’m just dying for this cute ruffle top!

And before I get some tan lines, I’ll definitely be wearing a lace back top like this.

I’m also loving this top. Can’t go wrong with a graphic tee.
