Hi my name's Kelsi
I'm twenty-three
I'm an accounting technician
from the northeast coast of Scotland
I find something that I like
and continue to wear it for ever and ever
and will buy many copies of it
I hope that Jamie and Alannah will be able to help me
figure out how to get more of a boho-chic style
to go with the clothes that I already have
Hi Kelsi
Hi guys
Tell me a wee bit more about yourself
What are some of your interests?
I crochet
I'm trying to make my own clothes
and things like that just now...
Love!
You could probably teach us something about crochet
I ken
And are ye intae a wee bit ae upcycling as well?
I really like the idea of it
and I have so many pieces of clothing
that I wouldn't wear without upcycling them
Yeah
What do you think you most gravitate towards?
I really like Florence and the Machine
Flowery kind of style
I'm getting like sixties seventies
flower girl off tae Woodstock
Yes definitely
Is that the dream?
We've got this item which is closest to me
and I love the colours on this
What about the possibility ae reworking this
so you can wear it and not just wear it but love it?
If there was anything you could do to that
to make that happen I'd be over the moon
Perfect darlin
So I think I'm gonna to take ye
boho-chic
on the way tae Woodstock
mibbae stop off at Coachella
Whit dae I ken?
How does that sound?
Sounds amazing thank you
Perfect
We've got thirty pounds each
and three second-hand shops to hit
Jamie
Aye
I'm needing another layer
Ken I'm feeling like I...
Flowy
That... aw that way
Aw that way
She needs to be aw that way
I need her in the wind
Aye
Ken?
That in mind...
Mmhmm
Now before you judge
I ken, I ken, I ken it's a dress
Aye
But I'm no seeing it like that
What are you seeing it like?
I'm seeing it as...
split doon the middle
Aye
Take this panel oot
So you're thinking a shawl almost?
Almost like a shawl
But a no like goony shawl
Naw California shawl
California shawl
I'm wae ye, I love that
Especially if you're cuttin it doon the middle
You can leave a wee bit ae empty space
It could be perfect
Is that no geein ye flowy?
That's geein ye flowy
So I had a wee neb roond the jewellery section
and I found these
How boho
Pound each an aw
Cannae grumble
I'm heading back to the studio
to style fix that dress that Kelsi never wore
Time to tailor it to her new look
by turning it into a crop
Once you've got your fabric straight
and you're ready tae cut
I just want to say don't worry if it's a wee bit messy
because we are actually gonnae hem it
And you're thinking hem it?
Alannah I've no got a sewing machine
I dinnae ken how tae sew
Neither dae I
And I don't need to
Once I've cut off the skirt part a the dress
I'm all set tae sew
Alannah style
So now that your top's inside out
What you wanna do is fold a tiny little bit up
Once you have a little section that you've got folded over
You're just gonnae take your iron
and just press down
and that's gonna ensure
that that stays folded over
We're going tae take a little bit of hemming tape
This stuff does wonders
Place the tape along the fold and grab that iron again
You can see that's created a hem
Not a sewing machine in sight
I still have a few additions for Kelsi's look
starting with some Woodstock inspired tassel earrings
First ditch that wee loop
I'm gonna pop it on to this little clip-on earring
A drag queen actually taught me this
Dab it in multi-purpose glue
Once you've added your wee bit ae glue
just nestle it intae the top ae the tassel
Give it a wee pinch like that
Just leave it to the side to dry
And whilst I've got the tassels oot
I'm also going tae pop some
on tae a pair of Kelsi's own boots
Kelsi has arrived back at the studio
For the festival vibe
I'm teaching her to achieve a glowy, healthy look
by doubling up her lipstick as a wee blush
We just want tae dab a little bit on to your fingers
OK
And then we're just gonnae
pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat
And we're actually just gonna go and buff it
straight on the cheek
OK
The good thing about this
is it's so sheer
it's just going to give you
the perfect amount ae pop in the cheek
A nice blush like you've just seen your crush
My work here is done
and with her makeup complete
it's time for us all to see Kelsi in her new get-up
Her new look is definitely boho-chic
with some handy upcycling
I turned one of her dresses intae a banging top
I cut a slit in the skirt to give her thigh a wee moment
and topped the look off with some earrings
While the tassels I added to her boots
just give that extra wee pop ae colour to match the top
I'm honestly in love with the look
I really like it
I think I will probably wear more things like this
Amazing
Alannah grab ma bum bag
I'm going tae the festival an aw
