DIY - Do It Yourself
The
DIY trend is at an all time high right now, not just because of our pitiful economy (
so long weekly facials and $50 spa pedis!), but because it has become a really huge statement in today's fashions...particularly, among the blogging world.
Gratification from buying a really fabulous maxi dress -
high. Gratification from making a really fabulous
custom maxi dress for a penny of the price -
higher.
We as human beings,
get off to making our own creation.
I, unfortunately, have a difficult time with the "
DIY" aspect of
DIY.
Do It Yourself?
Sure. Do It Myself?
WTF.
I can't even manage a DIY manicure, let alone waiting for a DIY manicure with rhinestones and snakeskin embellishments dry while turning a denim jumpsuit into a really fabulous studded vest that looks like it deserves to be walking right down the runway and forever posing on the red carpet.
How do these DIY-ers do it themselves???
I've got to get to the bottom of this.
I want to find out.
That is why I am challenging myself to DIY.
But, I am asking you to help in one teeny tiny way...
Please submit your favorite DIY!!! It can be a DIY that you came up with, one that you have tried out in the past, a DIY you've spotted on someone else's blog that you think is really fabulous, you name it.
How to Submit:
by email, on twitter by @LPriceSOright -ing a link to your DIY, leaving a comment on my facebook fan page, or by posting a comment on this post.
I will choose one DIY to tackle, and see if I can finally
do it myself and feature "my creation" on LisaPriceInc. - along with the original creator of the DIY.
Wish me luck!
