DIY shirt, thrifted skirt, Sportsgirl clogs, Bop Bijoux ring
For the longest time, I had been on the hunt for a sleeveless collared shirt (that didn’t feature a Ralph Lauren pony). In the end I caved and just DIY’d one by cutting the sleeves clean off of a dress shirt. Of course, as the story always goes, the next time I went shopping I saw them pretty much everywhere. I think this is one of the universal laws of shopping – when you are desperately seeking a particular item, you can never find it; and when you are no longer looking or in need of the item, it seems to pop up at every turn.
This is nice π I really like the shirt, that's so cool that you made it yourself!
It is TOTALLY a universal law. Very clean, simple look. I love the clogs, they make the outfit.
I definitely been searching for shortsleeved or sleeveless blouses for the really hot summer now…
That law is so very true.
oh wow! lovely outfit, it reminds me of miu miu for some reason π anyway, you look lovely!

Soph I am loving all these outfit posts! You have inspired me to make more of an effort to do them myself.
That is a great idea with the white shirt, I found a sleeveless one before I went away without trying it on and it is a really weird shape so I might just try this instead.
I really like your necklace, can I ask where it is from?

i've always wanted to try a sleeveless collared shirt with a bold chunky necklace… what you did with this white shirt is great!
i see you're wearing "that" amethyst necklace – i was wearing mine just yesterday! π

Wow. This outfit looks oh-so perfect for Spring. Love the pastel coloured skirt with the crisp white, and your clogs are lovely x
Oh! This is such a good idea. I have been looking for the perfect sleeveless shirt for awhile, but the collars are always too high! This will be much easier to track down!

that's absolutely right! i often seek a particular item but end up find nothing. so whenever i go shopping i always tend to not over-think everything i want and just let it flow. haha
love your sleeveless shirt and pale skirt btw!
you always wear cool outfits that makes me love you more more and more!

i was thinking doing the same, but i love my white shirts too much!
It is indeed shopping law! Love the pale pink on you, it's really pretty π
this look is so pretty! you look gorgeous

@Mez: they definitely anchor the outfit – I tried it with cream flats but it felt a bit meh
@rosanguyen: try DIY! haha
@Becky-May: thanks for the comparison!
@TheVelvetBow: The necklace was actually a gift from Blackswan (the commentor below you). I think she found it in a crystal shop in Bondi though.
@Blackswan: Because it's amaaaaaazing. I never used to wear necklaces before but I wear this one all the time! I have you to thank haha
@ALittleBrighter: definitely. A little alteration goes a long way.
@Jessica: I like the 'let it flow' mantra when it comes to op-shopping, but when it comes to normal shopping I find that it causes me to buy heaps of random stuff I don't need haha
@LuuH: That is a dilemma. Luckily this one hardly ever got worn as a long sleeved shirt
I love this,beautiful!
very nice…everytime i go into sportsgirl i look at those clogs. i might have to go back π
Ahh! Can I please steal that skirt? It is my absolute favorite color at the moment hehe.

great outfit. together the skirt, DIY shirt adn clogs marry to make a beautiful get-up. that is so great that you DIY-ed it. but i get waht you mean when you do it yourself it pops up. it looks great, nontheless.
the shirt looks lovely, great job!
i love your shirt, i bet it's better than all the sleeveless ones that are popping up now. you look so crisp and summery, very lovely π x
such a pretty and fresh outfit! love it! π
very cute necklace, I always wanted one something like that.
that necklace is absolutely beautiful!
really sweet skirt!! the colour is perfect xx
I always love how simple, elegant and feminine your outfits are. And I think it applies to everything, when you stop looking, it shows up. Happy New Years to you and yours π
Those shoes are so adorable!
Hello π Haha yes I should have also said I'll only buy cameos if they're not too expensive. The ones at the jewellers cost a bomb!
I love those clogs, I have the tan coloured ones π I saw this ring on etsy and it made me think of your necklace:

ugh I hate when that happens. cutting the sleeves off is such a great idea though, and it turned out great!
I am such a fan of the high-waist skirts and this one is totally lovely! That rosy color is just gorgeous π

Love this outfit, the colors are amazing
Beautiful skirt and of course amethyst is grand!
I love being able to see what's being worn on the other side of the hemisphere – makes me long for summer.
The shirt looks great! A really classy outfit, I adore the crystal necklace to bits. At least you can say you DIY'd the shirt, and be proud of that!
PS. Just found your blog, I'm in love.

Great clogs.

Sorry it took so long to get back to you! Firstly, Happy New Year!!! Secondly, look this look! You did a really good job on the shirt. Those shirts at American Apparel are like 50 bucks… crazy. Love the blush pink of the skirt! Adore adore adore!!! Wishing you a healthy, safe, successful and Happy New Year!
This is definitely a fashion phenomenon, it was the same for me and Chelsea boots. Desperately hunting for the perfect pair for MONTHS, and then when at last eBay came up trumps, they were then everywhere. Sod's law it seems. DIY is the quickest (and cheapest) way forward it seems!jazzy β₯
nudey beige pink things are heaven paired together. love this lots.
@LyricandThread: I used to do the same! Lucky I got them for Christmas otherwise I'd still be lusting after them
@Bonnie: If we were in the same vicinity I'd let you borrow it no problems! haha
@MoPie: ahh you are too kind!
@Bec: yay for matchy clogs! I wanted to tan ones but they didn't have my size. booo. That said, these ones made a very nice stand in. And that ring you linked to is all sorts of amazing!
@Stacy: haha seeing all the cosy winter outfits in northern hemisphere blogs makes me crave winter!
@Michelle: true. There is immense satisfaction (and a tiny bit of smugness lol) in being able to say "I did it myself"
@Summer and @LVE+JOY: thanks for following π
@AlwaysChasing: oh that's always a dilemma. Understandable. Although I think a lavender shirt would look lovely! (Where was it? I might be able to snap it up! haha)
@avalonne: no worries! thanks for the well wishes. And I hear you on the AA shirts – although due to inflation they'd end up costing a lot more in Australia. Crazy, isn't it?
Loving this look!
I wish there was Sportsgirl here. Those clogs are lovely.
