Hi guys!

Guess who still has good vibes this month? I think this one of my happiest months this year.

So today's DIY is very basic.

Too basic to me but... I find it difficult to shoot DIYs while I'm in school but that's about to change though. So how about a compromise? During school session, more style posts, less DIYs and vice versa?

I had actually done this a while back but thought it was way too simple but then a reader said it wasn't (on Instagram) and since I had not shot my planned DIY... Here we are.


When I get tired of my clothes, I just switch them up by doing little things that add a different flair. Oh and just in case you were wondering what to do with all your unworn clothes, read this post.


You will need:

-Scissors
-Needle and thread
-A blazer/jacket

This DIY is basically two steps (over use of the word "basic", I know.)


All you have to do is cut and tack. Just cut the arm hole, leaving enough space for allowance (like the one above) and then tack it in using your needle and thread. The difficulty level depends on the fabric. Do not edit (for lack of a better word) the arm hole in any way- you might ruin the jacket.

Aaaaannnnd c'est fini!

Quick question guys, is it still considered a vest even though it has lapels? Fashion terms are so confusing. Since we're on the matter, I did a guest post on Wumi Tuase's blog, TANG, on fashion terms and how to pronounce some tricky terms. You can read it here.


New clothing article yo! I need to wear this in a style post. Also,I miss my red hair *sniffs*


Check out how I style the transformed vest here

So guys! That's it!

Lastly, if you subscribed to my blog but still haven't received any updates, I've been having issues with my email service preovider for a while now. I had tried several ways to fix it and considered using my personal mail to send updates but that just wasn't working for me. I'll come up with something soon.

In the meantime, follow me on Pinterest, GFC (in the sidebar), Instagram, Bloglovin', Twitter and add me on snapchat (@the_unservile), to stay up to date.
