By Megan QuistYou know the old tanks with lace on the top of them that were all the rage with a matching sweater from Abercrombie when we were younger? Well now there is a fashionable twist to them! Adding a few more inches of lace, and a plain white tee, and you’ve got a whole new look. From celebrities such as Kendall Jenner to the clothing section of Target, this trend has blown up. The best part? You do not need to go out and buy a new shirt! I'm sure everyone has a white tee in their closet, and or some sort of lace tank. Mix and match! Another switch up on this trend is making it into a crop top. If you have a looser bralette that can also be paired with a tee. Mainly I have seen black and white combos of this, but any color scheme is plausible. Mine outfit is made up of a white tee that actually has lettering on it, but the tank covers it up. The lace dress/shirt is actually a night gown from Victoria's Secret. Lol. But it still works! I would recommend more cotton based lace items during the day as I felt a little awkward in this silky one. (And the fact that we shot this in 20 degree weather). But either way just own your look! I paired it off with thigh high suede grey boots. They are from the Ivanka Trump line. People have also been pairing velvet dresses with tees as well as turtlenecks. Check out the insta below. Fashion cycles so hold on to your old stuff! Have fun styling Fashionistas.

By Megan QuistCelebs are wearing stuff that looks DIY, but in reality each piece is still hundreds to thousands of dollars. Hello we all own a pair of scissors! A big influence on fast fashion lately has been the lace up shirts and built in chokers. Personally my Instagram feed is full of Kardashians and Kendall is the queen of wearing T-Shirt dresses. She typically has an edgy rock band shirt or a black shirt with some sort of image on it worn as a dress.
Simple Steps: 1. Get a size Large or Extra Large T-Shirt (depending on how long it is on you) 2. Decide what you want to do! (You can cut open the whole thing, cold shoulders, add laces, add a choker, make it off the shoulder, just add a simple V, fray it, or just leave the shirt as it is and add a choker that you have!) 3. Start to DIY! Cut and add elements as you go, get creative! 4. Pair your dress with some tall boots or sneakers and snap away some pics! What I did with our Fashion & Business Club T-Shirt: 1. Cut around the main neck seem to leave that as the choker 2. Cut a V down the front 3. Cut holes about an inch apart down the V portion 4. Added some string through the holes 5. Paired it with my Steve Madden Thigh-High boots Retailers With T-Shirt/T-Shirt Dresses: -Pretty Little Thing -Misguided -Nasty Gal -Thrift Stores/Goodwill - DIY |
