DIY for Boredom

Hey Guys,

So I've had this whole week and a couple days off for winter vacation, I'm really bored. So I've been making clothes throughout the whole week, while watching "the best show ever created" Ugly Betty. This skirt was made two days ago, it's a simple knee length circle skirt.

p.s please excuse my jazz hands.

Look #4

Hey Guys,

Today's Outfit is inspired by Comfort, it reminds me of those days when I wan't to look cute, but I don't feel like it. It's a simple outfit, that is stylish yet extremely comfy! I really love it because this outfit can easily be turned dressy. I was gifted this sweater from my father. While the skirt is an undershirt camisole from Forever 21. You'll see that I use camisole's all the time in my outfits, because it's a win for everyone when you get an undershirt and a skirt as one. For my casual look I used a random scarf, and boots that I bought from Marshall's. For the night outfit, I switched a couple of minor things. Because of the size of the sweater, and the outfit's casual manner I rolled the sleeves up for the dressy look. Rolled up sleeves gives a cleaner and more professional look ...it show's that your ready to work. The belt was from Old Navy while the shoes I bought at Mandees for $5. I'm pretty sure, currently you wouldn't be able to find this price at Mandees. However, I got these shoes when they were on sale for $19.99, I was eyeing them for the longest time until everything under $20 was $5. Originally these heels were $39.99, so I guess I've learned my lesson that waiting isn't that bad.

Vintage Prom...

Hey Guys,

My prom search continues and it's kind of stalling. As in I haven't actually tried on one dress yet, nor, been to a dress boutique. Technically I have a couple months left to figure out what I want to wear, but in the back of my head I'm thinking "I really need to find a dress!". Then it hit me....Why can't I wear one of the dresses I already own. I mean nobody at School, would know that I've had it for a couple of years or that I wore it in my cousins wedding or even that I got it in a thrift shop. So I challenge the whole Class of 2014 to consider some of the dresses you already own or just hit the local thrift shop and see what you'll find. The first dress below, was gifted to me from somebody from my church. She saw it in a Salvation Army and at the price of $25 she bought it for me. The second dress, I bought from a thrift shop or thrift shop dealer (It's been so long I don't even remember). However, I know that I bought it for about $30. Obviously, these dresses needed a good cleaning and tender, love and care. But the feeling of looking fabulously vintage with out breaking your weekly Chinese food budget, feels really good!

Winter Woes...

Hello Guys,

I hope winter is treating you better than it is me right now. After four school closing days, one school delay, and almost four feet of snow. I think its appropriate to say, I really miss summer. I miss hanging out in the city, meeting new people, going to the beach, and most importantly yard sale hunting. I found some really cool things including the coat below. My mom and I, were driving down the highway in rural Hudson County searching for random yard sales. Where we found this beautiful coat for only $10, of course, it needed a good cleaning. But After a couple rounds of rubbing, steaming, and dry cleaning it's one thing that's keeping me warm this winter.

I miss fall.....

Hey Guys,

I love fall, I love the falling leaves, home-made pumpkin spice ice-cream, the weather, my birthday in september, going back to school, and did I mention to tell you that I love fall? I wore this outfit last fall, and It basically expresses my eccentric look. It isn't every day when I decide to wear a striped poor boy hat, with leg warmers. lol. However, this poor boy is quite special to me it's a hat that my grandfather gave my dad, and now I'm rocking it. The leg warmers don't have a cute story, but their really appreciated during fall and winter. I got my wool skirt from a local thrift shop, my shirt from Tommy Hilfiger, and my cardigan from Nordstrom. Overall, this outfit is perfect for fashionable comfort.
