(diy sheer shirt, aa tube bra and tights, vintage leather skirt, vintage nine west lace up flats)

this top is the first garment i constructed out of scratch. i bought this sheer fabric for $3 down the street and made a simple t-shirt out of it. i wish i had better photos to show you but for now this is all i have. it took only a few minutes to make and im pretty happy with the results. it will definitely be a key piece in my spring wardrobe. especially since im addicted to anything sheer and see through right now.

    i love the diy sheer tee with the leather skirt. i was thinking of getting these sheer tees at zara that cost about $100, but doing my own versions would be more worth it :D
