DIY ~ Leopard Print Sweatshirt

Hey lovelies!  Hope your week is off to a good start :)  So in my DIY tease on instagram, I showed 2 fabric markers... and yup!  That's how I spruced up this sweatshirt!  My inspiration came from this Sandro Leopard Sweatshirt, but I immediately knew I could make something just as fabulous for only a small fraction of the price.  {How to after the jump}

Hello lovelies!  Of course, when Kristina of Pretty Shiny Sparkly posted the newest Bloggers Do It Better challenge, Animal Prints, I was stoked!  So if you know me, simply wearing my Leopard Trench Blouse (seen here) and matching heels (seen here) was not nearly enough.  Since I'm putting myself on shopping restriction this month (more on that later), I had to get creative with what I have.  Of course, last year's fad faux fur vest (which thankfully is still in for this fall) immediately came to mind!  Of course it needed a belt to give me some shape, and I thought I had a little Flintstones look going on, so I topped it off with a chunky faux turquoise necklace.

Guy was giving me a weird look, so I gave him one right back.  So glad JT captured it!

This shot came out blurry but I really love it.

And this one too.
