D.I.Y SHEER SKIRT TUTORIAL

D.I.Y SHEER SKIRT 
TUTORIAL



Hey my loves. I am so happy to be here with you guys once again. And when I am this excited, be sure that I am bringing you something HOT! Because we are gonna drop it like it’s hot. First of all, let me ask you all, how was your valentine? Well, to me I had an awesome day J follow me on Instagram to check out the pictures (Rshanphonsi). My day was so awesome it began with this dope tutorial, I woke up and angels told me that today was the day, I was planning for when to drop this tutorial for a month now, and the voices told me. Baby it’s today! So I took my time and slowly turned nothing to awesome; because that is what we do here, and if you are a first visitor to my awesome blog. Welcome!
Today being valentine, if your plan is to relax at home like mine, I am bringing you some sexy dust and I guarantee you, you won’t be single for love. Raining men everywhere
So let us talk about the sheer skirt, of course it rings a bell. You have probably seen it before and been dying to have one. Well I have, the reason I didn’t buy is because I knew it’s something easy I can make for less expensive  and I will definitely have fun making it and saying I made. Anyway, I hope I am not boring you yet with my long introductions as always but I love talking to you guys. But let’s get down to business.



WHAT YOU NEED:

-      Sheer material
-      Scissors
-      Elastic
-      Needle and thread


The brown sheer material is actually a really large piece I got for only 50ksh. Yes too good to be true but that’s the kind of deals I love. They say cheap is not always good, but I am in the percentage who usually find good cheap things. Luck I guess. I bought it at kawangware market, I was buying vegetables and this woman is selling scarves and I spot this large piece of sheer material and she tells me it’s 50. I am like “God bless you”. The elastic you can get for 60Ksh a meter. But I bought 2 meters because I will definitely need it in the near future.


STEP 1
Measure how long or how short you want your skirt to me by wrapping it around your waist. And proceed by cutting it.



STEP 2:
Fold where you will put the elastic and sew it with your needle and thread. But leave about 5 of the fabric, don’t sew it together, you will do that in step 3. Then measure the elastic and insert the elastic inside.



STEP 3:

You have to join the sides together. So first join both ends of the elastic together and then take the left sheer you left aside in step 2 and sew it over the other end of the elastic. If you want a flat out maxi sheer skirt, you can sew the opening until the end, but I decided to leave my side open for a little vavavoom as I like it. If you wish to have a double sided opening sheer skirt, cut another piece of fabric and sew it in the front part of your skirt.



THEN YOU HAVE YOUW OWN SHEER SKIRT


You can wear it with a short bodycon skirt inside and have it look like the skirt came with the sheer. And again you can decide to wear your sheer skirt only, preferably at the beach. Looking sexy and in style.





You can also wear the skirt with high waisted shorts. Mine is brown, luckily my sheer skirt is brown too, so it looks like it came like that, “flawless”.  And I paired it up with the polka dot cropped top I made in one of my tutorials, you can check it out here, click the link: http://www.beauty4brokegirls.blogspot.com/2013/11/how-to-turn-your-stockings-into-top.html
Overall I am wearing 200Ksh except for the shoes! But I can attend an event like that; no one will know that I am dressed that cheap because obviously, it doesn’t look cheap. When I had this outfit on, I couldn’t stop dancing to drunk in love by Beyonce and Jay-z. 




THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR VISITING

10 WAYS TO WEAR A VARSITY JACKET

10 WAYS TO WEAR 
VARSITY JACKET


Wasssssssuuuuup girls and a few boys! Tomorrow is frebruary and I have some dope exciting posts coming up for valentine period. So keep coming back to check what I am up to, make sure you also follow me on instagram and add me on facebook. Anyways I spent the last few days thinking of what will be the perfect post for this weekend, I thought of doing a D.I.Y but I haven’t done a lookbook in a while. So here you go guys! 10 ways to wear a varsity Jacket.
If you remember I said varsity jackets will be hot this season, I was right, they are just awesome, you can’t not love them. School swag, street swag, everything swag, it’s just full of swag. You can upgrade an outfit by just throwing on a varsity jacket. And of course it can go with anything. Before I bore you guys to death, let me zip it now and let’s get started.


LOOK 1: MAKE IT A DOUBLE PLEASE



Heard of denim on denim? Beauty4brokegirls A.K.A Rshan is bringing you varsity jacket on varsity jacket. Cute shorts, a plain vest, jewelries and jordans on my feet. I feel so hot in this outfit, the sun got nothing on me. Share if you agree!


LOOK 2: DENIM ON MY LIPS LIKE LIQUOR



Honestly I can’t get enough of Denims, I can’t get over them, I can’t stop owning them and loving them. They will never go out of fashion for sure. I am drunk in love with my denims. So for this look, I wore a denim shirt with jeggings and Jordans. What I love most about this look is I can take of my jacket, find some hot high heels and I just went from swagger to classy. 


LOOK 3: LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE



Okay! I am a cutie at heart. If you know me well enough, I am a very bubbly person, this is why I love this style, reflects me. And I have nothing under the jacket, which means I am wearing the jacket as a top. Efortless and very cute. Makes me feel like blowing kisses to you all.


LOOK 4: MILLION DOLLA SWAG!



Yes! Leather on leather with a varsity jacket! Many people wouldn’t even think about it, but hey you know what? It works; now add it on to your style list. I took a risk putting it together and my gutt told me, baby u got it! Simple things surely can go a long way!


LOOK 5: COLOR MY WORLD



Floral Jumpsuit with military boots and a golden chain necklace. Feels like summer time. Where is my guitar at, okay I don’t have one, can I borrow one? Or a Frisbee and a dog. Please? lmfao


LOOK 6: FILL ME IN!



Do you guys recall the Skirt we did a week ago? Yes! It’s the one, wearing it with a different Bandeau top and Jordan’s of course. To see how we did the skirt with no sewing required. Click on this link: http://beauty4brokegirls.blogspot.com/2014/01/diy-midi-skirt-and-bandeau-top.html We also did the bandeau top from scratch. Check it out!


LOOK 7: CHILL!



Keep it simple but still stylish! We did just that. The sun was so hot, I could feel the leather tights melting on my legs. All for the love of fashion. No regrets. Got that dope shot anyway. It was worth it.


LOOK 8: WOULD YOU BE MY DATE?



Going on a date but you want to look sexy but not hoochie? Get your bodycon dress and a varsity jacket, you will look girlfriend material, and it’s a plus just in case he doesn’t offer you a jacket when it gets cold.


LOOK 9: DON’T SWEAT IT!




Yes That is a sweater I am wearing inside, a high low sweater I got for a cheap price, you guys know I love cheap stuff right? But must be cheap and fabulous or I am not taking it! So yeah, it’s a high low sequin pattern sweater with a varsity jacket. Freeze in style my loves!


LOOK 10: HOOD AT?

First of all, Don’t kill me for not having a picture of this look, but I just realized I have no piece of clothing with a hoodie. So for look number 10! All you need is a top, jacket… with a hood and add your varsity jacket to that and BAM!!! Swag loaded!

NOTE THAT YOU CAN PURCHASE THE JORDANS, BODYCON DRESS + SKIRT AND VARSITY JACKET!




See you all next week for another HOT FASHION POST! I don’t usually do this, but I will give you a hint today on what next week’s post will be about. *** A fashion Designer from Kenya and also assistant photographer at Strut it Africa. ***  ;-)

D.I.Y MIDI SKIRT AND BANDEAU TOP

D.I.Y MIDI SKIRT AND BANDEAU TOP


Seemed like a long week. But I am back again doing what I love to do, show you guys how you can look like a 100$ with less than 10$. Doesn’t that sound great! No need to go bargain for an outfit while you can do it. Why spend 8000ksh on an outfit when you can spend 500ksh? I know… I know… HOW? You simply do it. You don’t need sewing skills, but if you do have some!? Great! Okay, this is not “who’s the cheapest contest” but how we can all look fabulous on a budget. By budget I mean low budget. I am a broke girl, most of us are. Why? Because we don’t own any property, have a stable income, some of us are jobless, still dependent, don’t own a car, still in school and have nothing in our bank accounts, very little or we don’t even have a bank account. If you fit anywhere here, you are broke! And welcome to my blog.
Today we are going to turn rags to riches. Yes you’ve heard that term before, so have I but we are taking it to the extreme. I always go big and if I can push it? Bigger! It’s going to be, Fa-fa-fabulous with a sexy touch of vavavoom. Let’s get started, I am just too excited.



WHAT WE NEED:

-          Scissors
-          A needle and Thread
-          A strapless dress or a strapless top

   

If you do not have a strapless dress or a strapless top; Don’t worry, You can get for as little as 50bob ( Ngara, Kawangware, Gikomba or anywhere on the street in Nairobi). But please make sure that the fabric is elastic. This is necessary. My dress is actually a balloon dress that I stopped wearing for a long time and came across it the other day, and was like “This is an awesome fabric” Then couldn’t wait for Friday.

PART 1…. OF THE OUTFIT


STEP ONE:
Cut the dress or the top below the chest area and a few inches more, because you are going to need those inches, to do the sewing.


STEP TWO:
Start sewing the extra inches back inside the upper part of the dress that you just cut. And you are done. You have yourself a Bandeau top.



If you think it’s a bit too revealing for you, you don’t have to dress it the way I did, you can wear it with a denim, with a maxi skirt and a waterfall top.



PART 2…. OF THE OUTFIT



Here unless you have sewing skills, Congrats! you can do this on your own, without spending a dime. But for the rest of us who don’t have sewing skills or own a sewing machine. Still easier, Take it to the tailor “Fundi” and ask them to turn the remaining part into a skirt. It will be cheap because not much cutting is required and skirts are fast and easy. This may cost you about 200-300ksh!

AND VOILA!!!


I am in love with this outfit. Anybody got a birthday, an event. Let me know, because I am ready to rock this outfit. It’s comfortable, it’s sexy and it’s Rshan. See you guys next week. I LOVE YOU



THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR VISITING

D.I.Y INFINITY SCARF 
and
D.I.Y KNEE HIGH SOCKS 




Hello beauties! Okay, First of all, let’s talk about the “ Infinity Scarf “. All I can think of is fierce, fabulous, classy. 
Before we start let me say that I forgot to put eyeliner on one eye, I did but I didn't finish. It happens! Lol. “Don’t judge me”. :-D Anyway it’s that time again, another week, another post, and today we  are going to keep it fierce. F.I.E.R.C.E. Beyonce fierce, Sasha fierce, drag fierce. Oh yeah! We keep it burning as always. “ Turn boring to fabulous” I have said it before and we are doing it again.


D.I.Y INFINITY SCARF




WHAT YOU NEED:

Sweater
A pair of scissor

  

The sweater I got for 100ksh and you can get it for less too, of if you have an old sweater, make use of it and you won’t regret not throwing it away.

STEP ONE: Lay the sweater down and cut all the way under the armpits. AND YOU ARE DONE! Yes just that!



THERE YOU HAVE IT! LITERALLY TURNING BORING TO FABULOUS!


   


Thumbs up for my bodysuit. ;-) Or please leave a comment! 

 


  



Did you think I forgot about the socks! Way easier, cut the arms of the sweater and wear them on your feet. Put your boots on and you got fashion written all over you! You can pull the socks as high as you wish. I prefer them a bit lower just above my combat boots.
