Let’s face it, there are some trends that are worth investing in and others not worth buying. Some trends are so easy to replicate that you don’t even have to pay full price for an item that will eventually go out of style.
D.I.Y. is an approach for the average fashion girl to personalize a trend so that there is some of her identity captured. But the challenge is how to decide which trends you are better off buying than replicating. Either way there will be an exchange of ideas and one will prevail over the other. So you have to determine if you want to follow the rules or break them.
1. Shredded Jeans- To create this look on your own use some scissors and sand paper. Or if you would rather buy this trend, purchase this pair of shredded jeans from Body Central. It is available online for $15.00.
2. Crop Tops- Well there are a number of things that could go wrong if you take scissors to an old t-shirt. But if you are a skilled seamstress taking on a project like this can be rewarding. For those who are not skilled in sewing or performing alterations, you are better off buying this trend. Try this top from American Apparel, available online for $22.00.
3. Statement Jewelry- Being skilled at molding and shaping jewelry into works of art is a true talent. But for those whose area of expertise lies in other places, you should probably purchase this trend instead. Try this statement jewelry set from Shop Bop, available online for $136.00.
