DIY Diamante Bodysuit

Diamond strap detail_SS.jpg

Diamonds are a girl's best friend, right? Well, I can't afford real diamond chains but these diamante stand-ins are shining bright and catching the light giving this old bodysuit a new glow up!

I was first inspired by an image I saw of a singer wearing a similar item with dainty rhinestone straps and knew I had to try recreating the look! I love the subtle and dainty injection of glam to this basic outfit and you will definitely see me pairing this with a pair of nice high-waisted jeans and calling the outfit done! No need to accessorize, these diamante straps will be all the bling you'll need!
