DO IT YOURSELF: MARGIELA

////MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA SPIDERWEB WAISTCOAT/BROWNSFASHION.COM

I need this in my life. As impractical (and maybe slightly overrated?) as a spiderweb waistcoat is, I think It'll fit perfectly into my wardrobe. But as a firm believer of doing it yourself, I think this is pretty manageable. I'm saying this of course because I don't have $345.87 for some pieces of viscose.

And speaking of doing it yourself, the human hair jacket I said I was going to make will probably never get done. Realistically thinking, human hair isn't at all cheap. Even synthetic hair is pretty pricey. And for the amount that I would need to cover an entire jacket would be pretty ridiculous. So here's to a failed project. But I do have one that I will be working on soon enough.

Even though this trend seems to be dwindling down, I still wanted to be tacky and ride this one out. See, I don't mind trends as long as you can restyle them or take them to the next level. But for this particular trend I liked it as is so for the past couple of days I've been hard at work trying to come up with a shoulder pad solution for my shoulder lacking wardrobe. And by hard at work I don't mean running out and buying a couple of ready made shoulder pads. Nope, I couldn't be bothered with that (like many things...), so I made my own from scratch.

They're not the prettiest of things I've ever made- Okay they look rather shit, but they are going to be hidden inside of jackets, shirts, etc, anyway so I wasn't really worried about the aesthetic of them.
