studs anyone? i have to say that even back in my rocker Thrice, AFI, Saosin, Chiodos days i have secretly always loved studded clothing. i swear after wearing studded punk belts in high school and freshman year of college, i swore i would never go back. i also thought i would just somehow grow out of that phase... but apparently maybe not. while i may not be rocking the same exact styles of the studded belts & visiting hot topic on a weekly basis, i have definetly learned to play with studs in a more fashion forward mature way. such a simple concept can be turned into the greatest of things! the spectrum ranges and the possibilities are endless with everything from embellished tops, jackets, pumps, boots, purses, hats you name it!
while out shopping for fabric a few weeks ago i came across the embellishment/accessories department. i immediate fell in love and was there for over an hour picking and choosing what my next project would be. i ended up with tons of elastic, lining, & feathers (see my headband collection)... and a bag of loose gold studs. didn't really have anything in my mind when i purchased them, but thought i'd give it a shot. see below for my inspirations... and then even further for my creation.
some of my inspirations:
and for my creation... since i had the studs i worked around the image of an embellished shirt, but didn't want to get too crazy. less is more.
close up of the neckline.
close up of the sleeve.
finishing the bottom hem.
...and the finished product...
more creations to come soon!
