White Tops, doesn't get any simpler than that.

Making more, yes I am.

 My frequent trips to craft and art stores are dipping into my clothes budget, there really is no budget, and it's becoming a problem! Actually I shouldn't say that because I've been enjoying creating beautiful things and think I'm running out of wall space for all of it. If you didn't know, I re-created a neon bib necklace I found on Pinterest, yes Pinterest! I'm obsessed, you're obsessed, I've accepted it. I've made several necklaces in all sorts of colors and shapes! The leftover lace I used as a stencil and spray painted over little canvas boards I purchased. The circles piece I created I found from Pinterest as well. I love the result and can't wait to create more. Happy crafting. 

Wax on, craft on.

I've been wearing my liquid leggings quite a bit. I love them but was looking for a pant version, maybe waxed or faux leather. Pinterest proved once again to provide me with a great DIY. I ordered otter wax and went to town on my favorite pair of black jeggings. I have three pairs, they are that amazing. So using one to try waxing wasn't a big deal, let's note that I'm lucky and grateful that I can have three pairs of the same pant :) Anyways, they came out looking more dirty than waxed, see pic 1 & 2. The third pic is half way through my new waxing method. The results are exactly what I wanted. I'm also selling a pair of them for $15! Size 28/29. 

More stuff I've been doing

I think of this as a messy post and since this was sort of a messy project, then I guess this works. I have been spray painting jewelry new colors and molding metal into cuffs and making sheer maxi skirts. For another creative project of mine, I decided to change the color of some of my clothes . I thought it was a nice way to switch things up a bit. I purchased fabric dye and went at it on this old BCBG shirt. The original color was bayleaf and did not suit me at all. This color would've been brighter but the base was very brown so I think that messed it up a little bit. Regardless, I am happy with this new shade much more. I did this all in my stainless steel sink so it wasn't as bad as I thought but still a sink full of teal was kind of messy!!

Peplums, a staple item and a DIY

I've been longing for a peplum skirt or dress! I think they're so chic! But of course I wouldn't want to be cornered into having only one dress or skirt that has a peplum. I'd have to wear it over and over to get that look or buy a bunch, and that's in no way logical. So I considered making my own peplum belt but purchased the one pictured from BCBG. I still may make one just probably neon yellow!!  I also have a very versatile tube dress from LIT that I paired it with. I wear it under and with everything. Below are some pics of me wearing the tube dress. I just threw a pussy bow blouse over it for a simple look. The shirt is a little sheer so the fact that I had a complete dress on helped. It really has become my new staple item. I also recently found a great peplum DIY so I'm sharing that as well! Just click on the pic. Happy Wednesday :)

Skirts

I know everyone is posting about Fashion Week and I adore reading all the posts and am excited for friends attending, but this is just a simple inspiration post. I took a break from browsing online and have to be honest in saying I'm in a bit of a funk. Ways that I am inspired are through blogs of my peers, people watching/local street style and websites ie. ASOS, Nasty Gal, LuLu's, Zara, BCBG and you get the point. I browsed today on ASOS and found myself excited with the skirts they have. Makes me think of Spring and being able to float around the city in a beautiful skirt.  Anyways, enjoy.
