The detachable shoulder pads in Michelle Lowe-Holder's Spring/Summer 08 collection are a great way of adding interest to a plain vest or tee. So, I've been inspired to at least attempt a DIY version.
To say I don't exactly live in fashion central would be a gross understatement, but my town does have a good haberdashery. I visited today and picked up a pair of shoulder pads and some milky-coffee-coloured fabric. My skills in this department are sorely lacking, but I shall have a go at attempting something to attach to plain grey, cream or maybe coral jersey t-shirts and cardigans. Once I can figure out a way of attaching them, that is. 
While I was there, I picked up some coral buttons to sew on to a cream slubby top I haven't worn in a while. I instantly zoomed in on the duck, strawberry, heart, starfish and smiley face-shaped buttons, such is my innate love of The Kitsch, but I opted for regular round buttons, which I'm planning to decorate around the top of the sleeves or neckline with. 
The results will be posted in due course, the results of a DIY experiment that I will make look painfully difficult, no doubt.
