DIY Knot Fringe Tank Tutorial

So now that its summer, I'm in this DIY craze. Some of the modifications I've done:

And as a result, i'm out of plain denim shorts haha. I still need more to experiment with dip dyeing :(( where can i buy cheap denim shorts?

And another DIY tank I wore to Krabi!



Keep seeing all these fringe things around, with all the rage about tribal designs etc. so i decided to turn a boring, too-long tank into one that is more wearble.
Extremely easy modification, can be done in 10 minutes!



First cut away the hems and cut the edges into strips (you can decide the length yourself).



 
(zomg dam ugly fingernails)

Grab any two strips together and tie a dead knot!



Ta-daah!

Too easy. Of course this is just the one-tier design, can be continued to multi-tier knots to form a more complicated design.

The Rotisserie @ Rochester Mall


Headed down to the newly opened The Rotisserie at Rochester Mall for breakfast!
It was just 5 minutes walk from buona vista, so much more accessible than its other outlet.





It was still under renovation when we went there but otherwise a pretty good place to chill!


Yay the lacepipe romper! sh ordered for me while I was away in Krabi.


My River Island clutch which I rarely bring out haha.


Breakfast Rosti ($10)
Omg I love anything potato-related and this rosti was no exception! def gonna order it next time.




Aussie Breakfast ($10)
Choose your choice of egg + 3 other sides! fairly filling. Also ordered a Vanilla Hazelnut ice blended coffee. Whats breakfast without tea/coffee?
Walked around the area abit and came across this humongous starbucks:


Another good study place hmm.

Gonna have my 2nd wisdom tooth surgery today! means only porridge for the next few days :( boohoo.




Lacepipe Floating Roses Blue Romper


Got my Lacepipe romper!


As usual, it looks nicer on the model! teehee. 
It is made of chiffon, hidden back zip and with inner lining for the bottom part. Would have liked it better if it were fully lined!
Its a tad too short/tight for me and Im only 164.. or maybe I just have a longer torso hahahah. Guess I have to wear it with a long cardigan.


The original colour, a lovely sky blue base.
The prints are so summery! I just had to get it.





 Runched behind.

V-back.

Can't wait to wear it out~
