How to dress up a tank top

July 18, 2016

SynergyMoonPhasesTankTop-1 SynergyMoonPhasesTankTop-2 SynergyMoonPhasesTankTop-6 SynergyMoonPhasesTankTop-7 SynergyMoonPhasesTankTop-3 SynergyMoonPhasesTankTop-8 SynergyMoonPhasesTankTop-4 SynergyMoonPhasesTankTop-5 SynergyMoonPhasesTankTop-9 SynergyMoonPhasesTankTop-10

In this summer heat, I’m sure tank top is everyone’s uniform. But how to dress it up so you don’t look the same everyday? Here are a couple ways how to dress up a tank top:

Add a fun graphic or pattern

This Synergy Moon Phases Valley tank top is one fun graphic you can try. The moon phases are fun and adorable. You can try adding anything from graphic, pattern to a fun text. Anything to show a little bit of personality and make you stand out!

Bold statement jewelry

If you follow my blog, you’d know by now I love to accessorize. Especially with a staple piece like a tank top, it’s the perfect canvas to wear your favorite statement pieces. I love these Fall Earrings and Exude bracelet (both from the Katz Meow Creations) to go with this tank top. Usually statement pieces are perfect for any tank or spaghetti straps top.

Add a personalized twist

See how I twisted the straps of this top? If your top’s straps are small like mine, you can do the same and have a whole new way of wearing the look. You can also tie the back of the top with a hair tie or a rubber band (I also did this, but don’t have any pic of the back to show you). Be creative, you can add your own twist, just have fun!

So what is your favorite way to dress up your tank top?

✨ Wood signs for my little Prince baby shower ✨:

- I ordered custom adhesive vinyl decals to be printed for large dimensions (around 3-5 ft tall). 
- Cut the shapes out, and trace the shapes on wood boards (I used 1/4” thick plywood).
- I put painter tape around the traced line to reduce wood chipping when cutting with a saw later.
- Cut the shapes on the wood boards with a jig saw.
- Brad nail leftover woods on the back to make a stand for the signs (some small pieces of 2x4 worked well). 
- Apply the adhesive back of the art decals onto the wood signs.
- Enjoy! 🩵✨🎠

☺️ What I’d do different if I do this again: 
1. The horse and carriage are ok, but I’d loved the castle to be taller.
2. Use foam boards instead of wood for lighter weight. Wood would be great if these signs will be outside where it might be windy, but for indoors event, I would do foam.

My birth story 🤰🏻: 
I went to bed at 39w3d with contractions 10 minutes apart, but had thought they were faux labor contractions (because I had Braxton Hicks and prodromal contractions most of pregnancy) so I didn’t think much of it. I woke up at 2am and called my doctor at 4am since contractions were 7 min apart (still thinking they were not real 😂). Good thing she told me to come in. I debated if I should put makeup on and decided to not - wise decision! During the car ride, 7 min apart became 5 min apart. When we arrived at hospital, I was 6cm dilated. I asked for epidural and by the time I got one, I was 8cm dilated. I started pushing shortly after, and baby came after 20 minutes of pushing.
