Easy DIY: Cardi makeover madness

Check these out, too...

Everyone’s got an old cardi that can use a cute update. Make over your tried and true topper into a unique, stylish sweater with just a few simple materials and a creative mind. Call up your crew, turn up the tunes and let the cardi makeover madness begin!

 

Flower power

 
anthropologie.com

 

Score this sweet sweater look with felt and beads. Cut the felt into flower petal shapes. Sew each petal onto your cardigan and string on beads for a shiny center. Contrasting colors make it cool.

 

Feathered frenzy

 
nordstrom.com

 

Stock up on flower appliqués from the craft store and in the same shade as your cardi. Sew on a bunch in an abstract pattern, even going down the shoulders and sleeves. Stitch on a few sequins for a hint of sparkle.

 

Glitzy gathering
 
nastygal.com

 

Serious gemstones are totally in. Why not apply them to your boring crewneck? Pick up a pack of rhinestones at your nearest craft store, and apply them in a gradient pattern to your top with fabric glue.

Hey!
I really want to wear my school and dance sweatpants to school. The thing is, I don't know what to wear with my ultra comfy sweats that's cute! Could you help me with some ideas what to wear with them? One of my pairs of sweats is an awesome medium purple colour with an elastic at the ankles like regular sweats. The other is a pair of grey sweats with the word, "RAMS" on the behind in purple with no elastic at the ankles unlike regular sweatpants.
Please help me with ideas for outfits from head to toe!
Thanks!

 

Hey triplethreat335, I am an expert at dressing up sweatpants lol. I wear them all the time. You could wear a tank, cardigan, scarf, boots(uggs would be cute) and a necklace with the purple sweatpants. For the grey ones a crop top, a hoodie or sweater and boots would work. Don't forget to accessorize and even try something with your hair like a plait, bun, or ponytail. Hope this helps! Xoxo
