I used to be a lot craft-ier when I was younger. Now some t-shirt markers and a V-neck Hanes are all that I can manage when it comes to D.I.Y.
After seeing a number of real fringe v-necks, I decided to give it a go, 2-D style. I also decided that a few more peacock feathers in my closet couldn't hurt.
The belt I'm wearing with the tee (see below) is this stretchy metal thing I got at Scott's. It's my new favorite accessory... it figures that the thing that cost me five bucks and came in a sandwich bag is my favorite (while the $60 leather clutch from Asos languishes in the closet).

Congrats to us (women and minorities)!!!
By this time tomorrow, a bill (the first Obama will sign as president) will give equal pay for equal work. Yeah, I completely agree, this action is incredibly (and embarrassingly) overdue. It took us until 2009 (and a President who is a minority) for women and minorities to make the same amount, doing the same damn thing, as the good old boys in the United States of America. It's about time.

Thanks for making a peacock fringe tee for me too. You're my favorite twin sister! PS: If you need someone to take that leather purse off your hands, I'd be happy to ;).
tres amazing!
i want one!!!!
How fun! We should do some kind of craft night!
def nifty! it looks very time consuming though
you're incredibly creative...looks great! had i attempted the same feat, it would have resembled a big spill down the front of my shirt.
wow thats awesome..
Ohhh, nice idea! I've seen the fringe necklaces and wondered about them too. And a lovely way to wear the shirt.
I too have gotten less and less crafty through the years. Lately I've been painting Munny dolls. I sawed one in half last weekend, now I just have to figure out why...
Wow, the peacock is si dyn!!!! :)
I think it looks great! And it's far more practical than real fringe, which would get EVERYWHERE, especially when it's windy.
The most creativity I can sum up is to dye a wayward shirt or two, sigh...
wow what a neat idea! it looks great!
Thanks for your comment on my blog. Your very sweet!
BTW, I love you DIY project idea. Your outfit is AMAZING!!!
xoxo, Shelly
Thank the Lordy Lord for that passing! I was so excited when I read it in the paper.
Whoa... Way creative!
This is seriously awesome.
Make sure NEVER EVER to buy Fruit of the Loom packs of shirts. The quality is way less than Hanes. It's like buying 100 thread count or jersey sheets versus 600 Thread count Egyptian cotton sheets.
I love it!
And yes, 'tis about fracking timew this bill was enacted into Law.
Great job! The shirt looks fantastic.
P.S. Really interesting article you linked to. I wonder how individual firms will interpret "equal work" though--equivalent productivity, same job title, same responsibilities?
Hi there-a totally fabulous job well done on the top, its gorgeous!
WOW! I die for it!

Oooo this is a tempting DIY project. Except I have no drawing skills to speak off. You did well! It looks super!
I don't go to HK and Philippines till April. Will be saving my pennies till then!
how cute! you are quite an artist!
I think I might have to try that sometime :)
Oh, to have such skills! I LOVE IT! Lauren, seriously, I'd lay down much cash for my own version of that tee.
And dang, I should really watch the news. GOBAMA!
I love the peacock feathers! They might still have a pair of peacock earrings I got a Claire's years ago for under $10!
This looks SOOO great. Love what you did with the tee.
amazing job with those peacock feathers! :)
I want your t-shirt. =]
haha thanks about the comment on my pose lol! <3

aww you guys how fun. Im so jealous of you two having a built in bestfriend/roommie. My sister lives all the way over the big pond and I rarely get to hear from her.
The t-shirtr looks really great. I didn't hear about the equal pay for equal work decision. I agree that this islong overdue!
excellent shirt!!!
Dang woman, that's awesome work! I tried to do something similar once with a fabric pen and my results were nowhere near this level of gorgeous! Not that I'm surprised at the usual creative genius. ;)
you are such a talented artist. love the design.
omg FUN! love your creation!
wow, this looks great! many people end up going overboard when diy-ing tshirts, but this looks classy
woww love it
oh fun! And yay women and minorities!!!

omg that tee is fabulous!! you did a fantastic job with the peacock feathers!
Love this! How clever!
Neat! I'm in super-crafty mode right now, as I JUST got a new sewing machine, so I'm going to give this a try... once I have money to buy markers.
Wow great job! It's looks absolutely fantastic! And yey about the bill, you're right, it was about time!
Love that tshirt, love our pres.
very nice drawing :) love it love it.... :)
That t-shirt...is...AWESOME.
(And not to rain on your parade, but laws need to be enforced to be of any use - I wonder what the enforcement provisions are.)
great idea! love love.
Super cool DIY! Great job! :)
