Good evening on this bank holiday weekend! Hope all you pre LC's are chilling and getting some well deserved rest before the big week ahead. T'will be grand so don't be worrying. For the past two hours, I've been doing some DIY on a blazer that I've had for years now. I was watching Beyonce's Life is But a Dream documentary last night and there was a scene where she was wearing a blazer with safety pins on the collar. I'd seen this trend before but I got really excited when I saw Beyonce rocking it. Needless to say, I was inspired. You can get the safety pins from the pound shop for only €2! And you get loads in a pack. Here are some different ideas regarding the "Pin Trend".
Designer duo, DSquared2, have also tackled this trend.
Okay, so all I really did was just start pinning! You can assort them in a repetitive manner or you can just completely lose your mind by sticking them anywhere that will take them. I opted for an assorted design in the colour silver. I think that gold would look really cool on a plain black blazer. You could also mix it up with some studs as well. I decided to use a chain from an old clutch bag to act as a little necklace descending from the top pins. It just adds a bit of variety. So here is the process that I went through to get to the finished piece.
Much Love,
Shannon.
