DIY Fall Trend: Jeweled Collar Shirt

I'm coming at ya with another easy DIY project that happens to be big in fashion this Fall! I'm not an expert fashionista but I like to stay on trend while putting my own touch on things also. I ran across this picture a few days ago of Tamara, 1/2 of my favorite 90's show Sister Sister! 

Other than the fact that she is beautiful in this picture, her jeweled collar shirt caught my eye. I absolutely love it!!!

So of course I figured I could make this myself with things I already have at home. I searched my closet for a collar shirt and found this white one. 

Of course you can use whatever color you like but I used white so I could pair it with lots of other colors. And if you don't have a collar shirt you can always hit up your local thrift store, I always find a ton in there :). I used a relaxed fit cotton polo shirt to have a more laid back look but if you have a button down collar shirt that you want to use that's fine as well. 

I already had studs and rhinestones at home from a previous project so I pulled those out and started playing with different designs. But if you don't have any, head to your local craft store and check the clearance section first! But here is the design I came up with...

And here is the final product!

I cut the sleeves off of my shirt simply so it wouldn't be so much bulk under other shirts. I tried it on with sweaters, a blazer and just a plain cotton shirt and it added a little jazz to each item!

Don't be afraid to mix with patterns along with solids!!

I really love how this turned out and it will inspire me to purchase more crew neck shirts and sweaters. But what I'm most excited about is this cost me $0.00!! Sometimes it pays to hang on to things :).
