div style="text-align: justify;"strongWarning:/strong DIY is highly contagious.The more I immerse myself in the world of DIY, the more I find that my friends and family love to get creative too. Whennbsp;I was in Sydney recently I found that so manynbsp;friends had projects on the go. My brother's gorgeous girlfriend impressed me no end with this black leather mini skirt. DIYed from a thrifted mid length skirt (similar toa href="/2011/01/outfit-post-thrifted-elephant-grey.html" this/a one), she simply cut it off at the desired length and used leather glue to hem it. This is such a fun example of breathing new life into an old piece to create something on-trend and infinitely wearable. /divbr /div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DuV8AKifp24/Tnsr_Cxu8FI/AAAAAAAAEcw/nM6PzfnE0ac/s1600/apairasparediyleatherskirt1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"img border="0" height="476px" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DuV8AKifp24/Tnsr_Cxu8FI/AAAAAAAAEcw/nM6PzfnE0ac/s640/apairasparediyleatherskirt1.png" width="640px" //a/divbr /div style="text-align: justify;"I love to see that DIY as a movement is gatheringnbsp;momentum and making everyone reevaluate their approach tonbsp; fashion and what they wear.
