Say It Isn't Faux

 I love the feel of real fur like the next gal except the next gal may have the funds to drop the dollars on the real thing. The Fall and Winter season is my favorite time of year because you can wear as many layers and accessories as you like. I love textures like fur, leather, and suede, etc.  Here are a few of my "furried treasures"I found from thrifting: Faux but Fabulous!

Black faux fur neck wrap: $2.99, White faux fur collar: 99 cents, Mixed brown/sand faux fur hat: $1.59

Styling My DIY Neon Sleeves Blazer

I'm sorry it took so long but as promised: How I would style my DIY neon sleeve blazer. I paired it with a simple white Tee and boyfriend jeans and added black pointy toe pumps for a touch of femininity! I also added a single strand necklace with beaded detail and a ribbon bow tied for a belt.

DIY INSPIRED BOYFRIEND BLAZER WITH NEON YELLOW CUFFS

What I used: Plain black blazer(thrifted), neon yellow t shirt(thrifted), Liquid stitch, scissors, and a measuring tool(ruler or measuring tape). You can use a sewing machine or hand needle and thread but since my machine is out of commission and I was not in the mood to hand sew, I used the liquid stitch instead.

Above: I cut the bottom part of the t-shirt as far up to the sleeves as possible to use as the sleeves on the blazer. Below:Then I measured the width of the blazer sleeve to get an idea of how wide the new neon sleeves should be.

<<I measured the neon pieces to fit the sleeves of the blazer and cut into two pieces. I glued each piece together to form the sleeve that will attach to the blazer sleeve. Note: If you use the stitch witch it will have to dry for 24 hours so if you plan to wear your blazer right away you will of course want to sew it.  

This is what the two neon sleeve pieces look like after being put together

After they dried completely I ironed the two pieces for a smooth finish before attaching them to the blazer sleeve.

I turned the sleeve of the blazer inside out to get them ready for applying the neon sleeves

 I pulled the newly made sleeves over the inside of the blazer sleeve to the desired length. BTW I placed the finished side of the sleeve over the blazer sleeve and glued the neon sleeve onto the inside blazer sleeve.  Let dry for 24 hours.

 After turning the blazer back to the finished side this is how the neon sleeve looks from under the blazer.

And then I just rolled the neon sleeve up to get the finished look.

Stay tuned to how I style the blazer. Thanks for dropping by!!
