DIY | From leggings to crop top

When I saw this on Youtube I had to try this out! How to get this cute cropped top from leggings or stockings. I have to say that the outcome is definitely better than expected. I had these shiny swimsuit material leggings (don't ask why I got it) which I don't wear at the moment or any time soon. So decided to try this DIY out. The only thing you need are a pair of scissors, preferably fabric scissors.


Here's how to:
1. cut the end of the stocking.
This will be your sleeves. The more you cut from the ending, the shorter your sleeves will be.

2. cut a little triangle at the part where the two legs meet.
This will be the opening for your head. First cut a small triangle, you can always cut more if the opening is too small. 

3. trim the cut neatly.

Glitter Egg

As it was Easter Sunday this weekend, I thought a few drinky-poos were in order, well, it would be rude not too wouldn’t it? And this is what I wore:

Virgoslounge are a London based women’s brand, bringing a vintage feel to current fashion trends. They started following me on Twitter, so as you do, I had a little peek at their page, which followed on to their website, which followed on to a few cheeky purchases. Eep. I instantly fell in love with the brand and this dress, which retails at £49.99, and obviously the velvet leggings I’m wearing, costing £50.

I was so sad when the dress arrived, as it was just that little bit too big. I had ordered a size 8, as size 6 wasn’t supplied at that time. But size 6’s fear not!! They are going to be introducing this size in all future designs on this dress *phew*; so I’ll definitely be purchasing that when it’s released. (I hear new colour variations are expected too, ooh lala). I ordered my leggings in an S (this has now changed and are available in sizes 4,6 etc) they are super comfortable, the perrrrfect fit. Plus, they hug my bum, which is hard because my bum is pretty non-existent *sobs*.

Now, I know some of you may be saying, this is a wee bit pricey. And yes, I would agree, they are slightly more expensive than your standard purchase. However, it’s SO worth it! Plus, they are regularly promoting special offers (follow them on twitter to hear the latest, @VIRGOSLOUNGE); for example, I purchased my leggings & dress on a 30% off offer, costing me approx £70 for both, which I think is a bargain. Especially when you take in to consideration the quality of this stuff; all of the sequins on my leggings were hand sewn on, which would’ve taken an age. But they are wonderful and it means your own piece is completely unique! 

I will 100% be purchasing from these lovely ladies again and I’m so excited to see more of their new collections when they are released.

What do you think of Virgoslounge? Have you purchased from them before or do you think you will now?
