The Weekly Wardrobe- Chic & Easy Accessories

This week we are presenting 5 quick, easy, and chic accessories: a cuff, a shawl, a belt, a scarf, and a cowl collar. All of these things can be added to multiple outfits and some of them can be worn multiple different ways! Everything takes between 30 minutes to 2 hours to make (depending on which one you do).

CUFF:

This Chanel-inspired cuff was made with 1/8th yd of trim that had rabbit fur, leather, and silver studs, a silver dome button, and about 1.5" of 1/4" black elastic.



TOTAL: $5.35 with tax!








SHAWL:
To make this shawl, I cut a 2-yard-cashmere remnant in half lengthwise and attatched 1 3/4 yd trim that had rabbit fur, feathers, and a leather braid. I still have the remaining 30" X 72" of cashmere to play with- my mom's birthday is in November. Hmm.. I hope she doesn't read this :)
TOTAL: $228.41 with tax!





BELT:
This belt was made with 1/2 yard of trim and 2 yards of grosgrain ribbon. There are so many ways to make and wear this! I have worn it around my waist, at my hips, and around my head too for a modern Twiggy look!

TOTAL: $25.15 with tax!






SCARF:


This scarf is SO easy, affordable, and GORGEOUS. It is a three step process: cut, stitch, and wear! It is 1 1/2 yd of a silk chiffon burnout. There are so many ways to twist these scarves- this twist is called "the pretzel."


Total: $55.21 with tax!














COWL COLLAR:
This collar was made with 1/2 yd of knit fabric and 1 7/8 yd of studed trim. This idea allows you to have the warmth of a scarf and the bling of a necklace!
TOTAL: $31.39
Everything you need to make these items are here at Fabrique- including the instructions!
