    DIY Crochet Crop Top // Kirsty Wears Blog

    Yes I'm on a crochet roll, this being my third project I have completed. I feel like I am starting to get a little faster, but still trying to teach myself new techniques and stitches as I go. Here I have used the basic bikini cup technique and then incorporated the 'granny stitch' and 'scalloped hem' stitch around the edges. I have also weaved in some scrap fabric that I had into the bigger stitches giving the edges a little more detail. Ill be honest and say the fit is not 100% perfect and a little too big for me (mainly because I have no boobs, god damn it) but overall this is definitely my favourite piece so far. What do you guys think?

    Here I have teamed it with just a simple pair of high waisted denim shorts, but these types of tops also look great with some mom jeans and maybe even a pair of high waisted tailored bottoms i.e cigarette trousers.

    Sawadeeka, welcome to 2015 and my first ootd of the year. Which I will not lie there will probably only be a few of these over the next 6 months as I have ran out of nice, fresh, snazzy clothes to show and blog for you guys. I think I have truly squeezed and styled the life out of everything I have in my suitcase, so yup this will most likely be one of maybe a small handful that you will see on my blog until July - when I return back to the UK.

    However I have been crocheting a lot recently as it is my new favourite thing to do whilst chilling (and I do that a lot) so I will be blogging all my makes and possibly popping a little outfit post when and as I am wearing them (like this one). So I hope that doesn't draw you away to much, and thank you to everyone who reads, comments and follows my blog it is really encouraging when you receive feedback. Especially when you have been blogging for quite awhile like me it is always nice to know people still like to read and keep up to date with all my musings. So thank you all very much, sending big smooches.

    So back to my outfit, I originally made this little crop top to wear over Christmas hence the red and white theme, however since being a blondie (which I am still getting used to) I am really loving the colour red. Therefore have slightly fallen in love with this little halter top and have been wearing it pretty much all the time, I guess it can be worn all year round as red and white is not just for Santa Claus (because Santa that would just be selfish). Today I teamed it with these amazing H&M trouser which were very popular when they hit the selves last summer, luckily at the time I was working in H&M so I could snap a pair up before they sold out. The wide leg trouser is such a flattering and easy to style to wear, I was worried at first because I am bottom heavy and thought maybe these would not do me any justice (being striped and all) but I was wrong. They are the prefect pair of go to trousers for the summer, especially if your not in the mood to bare your pins. They have been great out here in Thailand, and I will definitely be repurchasing into the wide leg trouser for summer 2015.

    I am really looking forward to 2015 will bring this year, I feel like I am in a really good place at the moment and I am going to make it my mission to keep up the positivity and just enjoy everything in my life and make the most of the time that we have. Because if there is anything I have learnt in the last couple of years and that is time and life is precious, with a flick of a switch it can change. So make the most of what we have got, spend quality time with loved ones and friend, stop trying to make everybody happy (because it is impossible) and just love you and keep doing what makes you happy. I wish everyone a spectacular year and I hope all your wishes and dreams come true, and all round you have a good one. So with that said 2015 we welcome you.. here are just a few of my 2k15 goals :

    2015 GOALS // Kirsty Wears Blog - Pinterest Image
    • Say yes more! I have a habit of over thinking situations and sometimes letting the unknown and fear take over. So this year it will be my mission to say YES more and not to worry about things too much. 
    • Stop over thinking! I guess this goes hand in hand with the above, this year I will try and stop over thinking life and just enjoy the moment. 
    • Work hard. This year I plan to work on my own clothing/knitwear brand and give the old self employed game ago. So fingers crossed I can make the dream work. I WILL make the dream work! 
    • See more and enjoy life all the time. Don't put off what you can do today, till tomorrow. Life is too short to miss out or wait for things. Do it now and have fun!
    • Travel lots. Me and James will spend half the year finishing our trip in Thailand and also in Bali too. So I am super looking forward to the adventures the next 6 months will bring. 
    • Crochet and Knit a lot more for myself and others. Just be more creative in general. (I miss the uni days with endless projects and makey' things) 
    • Spend more time with friends. Sometimes real life can get in the way of the important things in life, one being seeing loved ones and close friends. This year I will make it my priority to spend more time with my pals. 
    • ERM SHOP LOTS. Being on a island for what will be a year means I haven't been able to shop and splurge what so ever. So winter 2015 I will be indulging myself in endless knitwear and gorgeous boots galore. 
    • Be more healthy, and keep fit. Especially when I am back in the UK. It is far to easy to fall back into bad habits, but I am going to try my hardest to keep on track of my fitness and eat a lot more healthily. 
    • Blog lots! Keep blogging about everything and anything that I love and enjoy. I have blogged a lot more 'travel' lifestyle' post since being here in Thailand and I have really enjoyed it. So I will continue to blog a different variety of things from my day to day life, interest and of course still fashion and regular ootds. 
    • And lastly.. Be kind, be happy and keep on smiling!

    Just to say a final goodbye to 2014 I have rounded all my OOTD's from the last 12 months on KW.  So I wont babble on too much but if you would like to continue scrolling down to see my style throughout 2014.

    .. and there you have it. It seems I was very much into the whole printed trouser scene this year, actually prints and colour altogether in general and with everything aha. A lot more than usual anyway. I am looking forward to see what 2015 will bring to my wardrobe, fingers crosses LOTS and hopefully just as bright! 

    (I noticed that for some reason I didn't round up my 2013 outfits last year, probably because me and my blog went a little quiet for a while. But I definitely did 2012 so I thought I would quickly just round up the previous year too, no harm on looking back on two years worth of clothes)
