High Waisted Shorts & DIY Bandeau

I wanted to try something a little different, creative and funky today.  I was going through some of the older pieces in my closet and this is what I came up with.

 

 

 

 

Bandeau: DIY
Shorts: Forever21 (old)
Shoes: Mandee
Bag: H&M (DIY Studs)
Hat: H&M
Glasses: Geek Gone Chic
I had this long tank that I recently cut the straps off and have been using as a slip.  A few weeks ago, this girl that I follow on instagram posted photos of a DIY bandeau with a tube top.  So I tried it out today and I really like how it came out!  You basically take the top and fold it in half on the inside then tie it in the middle with some sort of ribbon or string.  I used a head band!  I didn’t want to show too much stomach so I adjusted it and only showed the middle center part.

 

 

I paired it with these high waisted shorts that I got last year at Forever.  To kind of give it a “geek chic” look, I put on my nerdy glasses and this hat that I got a couple of months ago.  I’m also using an older shoulder bag from H&M and I put studs on the strap.

 

 

 

My accessories are my Michael Kors watch, Juicy Couture ring, and this Fancy Made bracelet.  I’ve got on my peep toe platforms too and Full Speed from MAC on my lips to throw in a little color.  I went back to Moxie Salon yesterday to switch the color of my extensions so instead of having black it blends in more with the ombre.  I love it so much more now!
