When I first started stumbling across these three little initials, DIY, across the internet I didn't even know what they meant and then upon finding out that DIY = Do It Yourself I just simply snorted (yes, I do that sometimes)(a ladylike snort mind you) and thought: "That would be THE day, when I actually attempt a DIY!" Well, here is THE day.
I'm really artistically inclined so I really don't know the reason behind my reactionary snort to a DIY. Is it fear that I might mess up? Is it my lackadaisical mood? Don't know. But here I went...
I got these leggings as a gift (who would ever give these to me?) years ago and really liked the design on them but disliked that they are leggings. Being an ardent Madonna fan I have always liked fingerless gloves (lace or not). Besides, living in sunny Southern California I really don't have need for the end of the gloves (most of the time). So I decided to turn these leggings into fingerless gloves and hope that an outfit might be inspired by these new creations!
Do you have any leggings that could look better as gloves?
What you need? Leggings and a pair of good scissors (so easy)
Decide whether you want short or long gloves and "cut"
Cut small triangles for your thumbs (OK so I'm not that great at itty-bitty triangles)
VOILA!!
Awesome! Congrats on your first DIY!

nice! one of these days i'm going to get into DIY. it seems fun and of course cost efficient.
ReplyDeleteGreat DIY! I think I will do this with a pair of leggings that don't want to stay up...LOL! Can't wait to try this!
ReplyDeleteThat is one fabulous DIY lady! OK so I scrolled down and I love the last outfit. I am debating on those jeans from H&M, I bought a black waxed pair from Zara, so that's why I am hesitating on a burgandy pair. And that necklace is gorgeous I was guessing Versace...not far off from Givenchy.
ReplyDeleteThe dark cherry/burgandy lipstick looks good! I just bought a tube last week from Sephora, we'll see how it looks, it sometimes can cause yellow undertones to look sallow. Hope you enjoyed your summer and the kids are ready to head back to school :)
o idee foarte buna! si arata minunat ;) :*

DeleteWow, what a cool idea! I don't have even a bit of DIY bllod in me, more of 'DI-Why can't we just go and look for it at the store' LOL! I have been busy for the past 2 weeks mostly because UAE were celebrating a holiday called EID and I was invited to a lot of parties plus I had one in my house last Monday too. Other than that I was/am doing some research for the trip and we have decided to do Vegas for a few days too! I'll tell you more soon :)Super excited!

Haha, I love your commentary! The gloves are awesome. I used to wear fingerless gloves all the time back in the day, in Vegas of all places where you DON'T need gloves either. lol But they were cute and a fashion statement with my rocker look. I like yours! I totally think you should channel some Madonna "like a virgin" outfit for the blog!!! Do it, do ittt!! :)
ReplyDeleteRoni, you had me laughing for a while!!!! I'll do it only if we do a partnership and we both do a Madonna inspired outfit/post! What do you say? Hey! This could be a great Halloween project!!! <3 Dana
Deletesuper awesome DIY! Thanks for sharing!
