DIY: lace blouse + fishtail dress

I recently posted about 10 ways on how to style a plain blouse with black lace here. Well, in the end, I ended up deciding on going with option #11, which is slightly different. I cut off the middle flap of the blouse so that the black buttons that were underneath could be visible. Then I sewed the two lines of lace down either side of the buttons. I think this shirt would go best tucked into a pair of high waisted shorts which is probably what I'll be wearing in SUNNY SINGAPORE next week (CAN'T WAIT!!!)...

Afterwards, I searched online to see if there were similar styles, and I found these... complete with severed heads, how lovely.

So anyway, since I'm going on vacation this coming week, I'll probably be on a blog hiatus for a bit. But I'll take pictures and fill you all in on the adventures later. For now, here's another quick DIY idea: it's a dress that I revamped today (from a straight-edged skirt into an assymetrical fish-tail skirt) that I'll also be bringing with me on holiday. I intend to frolic and prance in this on the beach in... FOUR DAYS!!! (Can you tell I'm excited?!?!) haha...
