Finished - Transparent Black Fringe Top

I bought this fabric a long time ago and loved how fun it was. The black fringy chiffon pieces on the transparent fabric were unique and beautiful. I'm a big fan of playful fabrics and really loved the way this dress turned out. The only negative thing about party dresses is the amount of wear they get. Obviously that sucks when you really love what you made. I decided to fix that by making a very similar tank top which could get a lot more wear.

I finished this top a while ago and just never got around to showing it here on the blog. It has definitely gotten a lot of wear since I've finished it. You'd think that a transparent fringe top wouldn't be normal day wear but that's probably because you're not me. It's black so it doesn't stand out that much but the texture helps add interest to any outfit. I also personally love transparent tops because you can add a different level of interest to it by changing up what you wear underneath. You can choose different colours or styles of tanks to wear underneath which makes it look a bit different every time you wear it. You might be able to see in this photo that this time I chose a black lace bodysuit which gives it even more layers to the look. I'm a big fan of layering which makes this top a perfect addition to my wardrobe.

What I Wore - Black on Black

Just a quick look of what I wore yesterday. Even though it was a hot outside, this black top stops me from overheating in the sun.  It's great when you manage to get lots of wear out of your diys. I also managed to get a shot of me wearing my new sunglasses to show their reflective lenses.

New Loose Breezy Black Top

I'm getting ready for summer by making some loose tops. I know black isn't really the most summery colour but it's what my wardrobe needed. I remember years ago I used to wear nothing but dark colours but recently I've moved onto lots of colour and prints. That being said, I think it's really important to have a couple black basics in your wardrobe. So with some black fabric I had laying around, I made a really loose fitting top. 

This top is very rectangular and flowy from the front.  

 But from the side to keep things interesting, it's open to give a peak of whatever you're wearing underneath. A nice simple black tank to wear out on summer nights.
