How to make a Men's Coveralls HOT

I got the coverall from a resale shop that specializes in men's work gear. It's called Cheap Charlie's in the Eastern Market if you a local Detroiter. Any who, it was only  $6.50 but after I put my swag on it, it now worth more than that. At least to me check it out: 
I cut the legs into short length, used a callous scraper to rough the surface, cut out the back because there were words and did a weave technique with white faux leather and the scraps from the leg.    I added gold grommets and rope drawstrings at the waist.

How to Wear Ankara fabric

I have fallen in some serious like with Ankara fabric. Here is what I made with some I got from anakarafabrics.com
The pattern is a self draft put together from a pair of shorts and a halter like top. 
The purse is something I made, I got the idea from Pinterest and a good friend Stephaine Dickey of "Stef-N- Ty"(check them out on Facebook). 
Shoes from Lizzy's.

DIY: Bed sheet pants

These DIY: pants were made from a blue jersey knit bedsheet. 
I am a firm believer that fashion is what you make it. Now it's up to You how literal you take that!!!! Lol

I think is liberating to make fashion from simple things so when I came across this bedsheet and pattern
at the thrift store, I figured I was free to create greatness. So check out my outfit 
Pants- made them
Tank tops- Forever 21
Flip flops- Rainbow
jewelry- Lizzy's

DIY: jeweled denim and spike shoes

Do It Yourself: denim shorts and spike gym shoes on the Slow Roll.
Just in case you don't know what Slow Roll is. Let me tell you. Slow Roll Monday Night (check them out on Facebook) is a weekly bike ride where on average 5000 or more people show up and bike ride. This Monday about 10,000 people Slow Rolled. It's was amazing!!!
This is my sister -in-law. We had so much fun!!!!!!
Ok back to the DIY: shorts, shirt and shoes
The jean were a $1 from thrift store, that I cut off and distressed and had sewed the jewelry on. I took off the waist band and added 2inch elastic on the inside of waist band. 
The shoes I bought from my favorite store Lizzy's. I got the spikes from a store in Chicago (sorry I don't remember the name) however, they come with a flat bottom that allowed me to use E6000 to glue them to the toe of shoes and my tank top.
