Fashion Forward: Drape Vests

I'm having a little love affair with drape vests right now. (Evidence here.) They're so versatile and all-season-friendly. I'm even thinking about creating one with my own two hands. I found a DIY that makes it seem so simple. According to Amy Carriere, you simply fold a piece of fabric and cut a half-circle. Really, it's that easy? I think I can handle scissors and a simple geometric shape, but I'm skeptical because I have a history of craft projects that have gone awry. My inner bully is taunting me with choruses of "You'll poke your eye out! You'll poke your eye out!"

Of course, the lovely finds below cost a little more, but the bonus is that I'll be able to look at myself in the mirror with both eyes.

  1. I put on one of the anthro vests. It was supposed to be tied I guess, and it had all this... stuff hanging everywhere. I seriously couldnt figure the damn thing out. It took a while but I finally decided that if I couldnt work it I shouldnt buy it. Bah!

  3. Evermore: LOL, yeah, some of these vests can be beasts to figure out. I'm always pawing at things in thrift stores (where things are not logically displayed) like a monkey, scratching my head, only to "get it" hours later. D'oh!
