If you know me in real life, you know my first love is not fashion; nor is it $tealing.  In fact, it is French.  We met my freshman year in high school and boy did I fall hard.  I proudly wore an Eiffel Tower, Fleur de Lis or French phrase at least once a week.  You’d think I would learn from my mistakes, but fast forward ten years and I’m at it again.  Some things never change…

Naturally, when I saw this Oh la la sweatshirt by Zoe Karssen ($160), I got the “have to have it” twitch.  Too bad it goes against my beliefs of paying dumb money for clothing, huh?  WRONG!  I put my DIY powers to work and…Voilá!

Supplies:  Colored cotton sweatshirt, Clorox Bleach Pen

• 1. Place a piece of cardboard or magazine inside the sweatshirt so you are only writing on one side
• 2. Slowly, one letter at a time, write the phrase of your choice

**I highly suggest allowing each letter to dry before you begin the next because the pens bleed and letters become illegible
