3 ways to style the Lyra hack

Following on from my last blog post where I hacked the Lyra into a shirt and added a tie detail to the sleeves, I thought I would show you three different ways to style it! I really enjoyed the process of trying out different outfit combinations and it was a very inspiring process! These style would work with any shirt so if you're looking for inspiration for styling a shirt, take a look.

Firstly, the original way I styled the shirt, buttoned up with a pair of jeans. These jeans were a recent charity shop find and an absolute bargain which I was really pleased with! This was the first outfit I thought of when I made this shirt and it's the simplest. However when I tried other outfit combinations I think I preferred those.

Secondly I tried the shirt on with my Tilly and the Buttons Erin dungarees and I think this was my favourite. I really liked this style and it's super comfy but also looks put together. I can't wait to wear this outfit in the autumn, and it feels great knowing the whole outfit is handmade!

Thirdly, I paired the shirt with a Tabitha T-shirt (from the Make it Simple book) and some ready-to-wear jeans. I wore the shirt open this time and this is a much more casual style and quite different to my usual look but I really like it. It was really fun to try something different and step out of my comfort zone! But this look was also really simple to pull together and very easy to re-create.
