SUMMERTIME

 I'm a little late but.... Happy Official Beginning of Summer, guys! This outfit just screams summer to me, so I thought the best place to stage some photos would be the forest foliage in my backyard. I love the brightness and was sorely tempted to rock my neon shoes instead of the nude ones. But it was probably just a little too much color and I didn't want to look like an edible arrangement.

Ta-ta for now! Enjoy the sounds of Summertime with Louis and Ella!

 

P.S. Blazer, shorts, and shirt are from H&M. I have a problem, I know.

Doesn't my title sound like a cheesy movie? Don't laugh, you know you'd watch it.

Anywho, I'm not going to Coachella or any other music festivals, but if I were, here's what I'd wear ;)

P.S. If you'd like a closer look at my studded loafers, check out my Manhattan Haul video on my youtube channel! And if you'd like to see how I made the shorts, check out this post.

Winter Re-Vamp: Bring Back the Shorts!

I love fall, really I do. But, I don't like having to put away my summer clothes. Especially these shorts I made. So I re-vamped it for the winter time. The outfits a little kooky, but so am I. And we could all use a little bit of kookiness to spice up those cold winter days, right?

Outfit: American Disaster

Last week was ca-razy! We had an earthquake, a hurricane tropical storm, and a tornado! Luckily, things weren't too bad over here. Anywho, I made a post about these shorts a long long time ago (a little over a month) when I had absolutely NO followers. I've come a long way! I saw some American flag shorts at Topshop and wanted them, but refused to pay fifty bucks. I took some ugly thrift store shorts I had, cut them a little shorter, and painted the American flag on em. Then I went all Crystin the Carpenter on these bad boys and used some of my dad's sand paper to make the holes. 

Like most cats, Riley is very nosy. Every time I take pictures, he comes outside and watches me. What a creeper! Anyway, here's how you can make the shorts:

1. Get some old unwanted shorts. Cut them to the desired length.

2. Paint one half of the shorts blue.

3. While that's drying, take a ruler and a pencil, and draw the stripes on the other half. Make sure the pencil is light enough that you can paint over it.

4. Paint every other stripe red. Let this side dry.

5. Draw or print a star in the size you want on a piece of cardboard or paper. Take that and place it on a sponge and cut the sponge in the shape of the star.

6. Dip the star in white paint and go crazy on the blue side! (or not, it's your choice)

7. Go to the side with the stripes and paint in the white stripes.

8. Add your own modifications: studs, holes, frayed edges, let your inner Picasso come to life.

Voila! Instant fabulousness!

Just Call me Wonder Woman!

I made these shorts a few weeks ago. I took some hideous thrift store shorts and painted the American flag on them. I like them, but my dad thinks I'm trying to be Wonder Woman and my sister thinks I should leave the arts and crafts to the pre-pubescent. Still, I like them, and I'm going to wear them!
