DIY ALERT: How to Create Your Own Graffiti Art Jacket and Accessories to Match!

Hello, all of my Fancy Mouse readers! Last weekend I actually attended the Simply Stylist Fashion conference at the Dana Hotel and Spa. I also came up with a stellar outfit that I am going to explain to you (in writing because it's that simple) how to create your own graffiti/ Jean Michel Basquiat inspired look. 

For the Jacket: 

This jacket was inexpensive and came from a vendor on Aliexpress. What I did was buy the jacket and then re-tweaked it with my paint set since I am a painter. It was a blast! Here is the link to get the jacket. 

Here are a few tips when you receive this jacket:

1. MAKE IT YOUR OWN!

Yes it is already "designed" but do not be afraid to add a few more splatters, or sew some new things on it. It is a very plain jacket that can bring the inner artist out of you.

2. DO NOT BE AFRAID TO STRUT YOUR STUFF

Being fierce can be scary at first but just be you! Some people may not like you or your outfit, and that is okay. Tell them "oh well" and keep moving. As long as your heels are high, and your jacket is making top designers ask you where on earth did you get that super hot jacket, then no one else's opinion should matter. 

3. TAKE A RISK

A lot of people think fashion is just looking cute or wearing high fashion when really it is an ART. One of the things I enjoy is turning my art pieces into wearable art. 

For the Shoes: 

Faux fur high heel shoes have a special place in my heart. I basically created my own shoes because I am a broke college student saving for a car. So if you're a college student that is still trying to look fashionable but you have bills to pay then listen up (well read up)

How to make your own FAUX FUR HIGH HEELS:

1. Get a pair of old or new (I chose old) heels:

These were actually my old prom shoes, and I decided they needed a new classy identity.

2. You can choose to recycle some fabric (what I did) or buy some fabric:

This was an old furry black purse that was just sitting around. Next I just took to some scissors measured (not mathematically) what parts I needed to clip off. After that I half glue gun and half super glued the fabric down. 

For the Purse: 

After I finished my shoes I noticed I still had fabric left and paint. My purse is a thrift store bought bag. 

1. Buy a new or used purse

2. Splatter paint, sew new decals on it, etc.

For splattered paint it took all night to dry and it gets messy

3. I hot glue gunned and super glued the fur at the bottom

And there you have it a new super High fashion Street Style Outfit
