<\/a><\/p>\n Some ladies believe shoes are a “girl’s best friend,” but I think accessories are the perfect accompaniments to any look. Whether you are going to lunch with girlfriends or to dinner with your beau, a chic accessory can take your look from drab to fab. In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, I’d like to share with you all a photo tutorial from my friend, Rachel of ChicT Fashions<\/a> on how to create rosette accessories from an upcycled t-shirt<\/a>. You also can try this tutorial using ribbons, scraps of fabrics and even paper.<\/p>\n Rosettes’ retro-inspired floral designs make them a stylish accessory to clip or pin onto necklaces, scarves, jackets, headbands and\/or boots.
