mad at my wardrobe

So I made this.

Really easy. Just used a t-shirt to line the patterns. Cut two pieces of fabric (the top and bottom) sewed them together. I can really get shit done when I am not trying. But when I need too; forget about it. I won't get done.

This is the same fabric that I cut a square off and sewed to a plain white tee shirt. You know, Prada Spring Collection 2014. 

Mine just coast me $7

& in love again,

I fell in love with these polka dots high waisted jeans again. I got them almost a year ago but they truly are the best Spring item I have. So last year, but whatever. Like I've ever cared about that.

Fashion Little Tip: Tie your shirt in a tie to add it a little something special. Turns any run of the mill t-shirt into something fun again. Also play around with tucking in shirt in the back or the front or the sides.

Spring is here! I am always so uninspired by Spring fashion. Especially being in Seattle you never know if a bright sun day will turn ugly. So it's kind of dress for any occasion or situation.

DIY: Jewelry Dish

 photo DSC_0011_zps8205bf94.jpg

I've been trying to reorganize my room for awhile now. As I mentioned yesterday I was trying to clean it. (I got one section done.)

My goal is to fall in love with my room again. To make more space, get rid of things, and of course be more organized. First step I took was my bed side table. I have a lot of jewelry and accessories. And I've been looking around the internet and blogs to see how people kept their things together. The best idea I found was the jewelry dish. Really simple! But here's a little DIY to add your own spin to it.

***Side Note: The best place to shop for any items when redecorating, reorganizing, or trying to find cheap storage go to my FAVORITE place on earth the Daiso store! It's where I find the best containers and any cute item to help spurs up my room.

It's where I found this plate, and many others, in the dinner wear area. Best part everything coast either a $1.50 or $3.50.

For this DIY you need:
Plate or dish (Target, Daiso, Goodwill, etc)
Sharpie

Using the sharpie draw any design you want. Make sure you let it draw for at least a second so it doesn't smear or run.

Just that easy. And looks great!

I also purchased some bowls as well. (Remember: using something like plates, dinner wear, or other ordinary items for storage is cute & ideal! Think outside the box.)

polka dots

I deiced to finally clean up my room. It needs a massive make over!

Like most people, I get in the right state of mind, put on a movie or a motivating soundtrack, begin cleaning then immediately get sidetracked up an old journal, trying on clothes, or the worst just get bored and cause a bigger mess.

Ugh.

I finally got the idea just got out of the house to clear my head. It actually helped.

I got this polka dot body suit from American Apparel awhile ago with a Groupon (TIP check their website regularly for great discounts on clothes!) 

It was one of those buy one item get one item freebie. I believe I got a hoodie and this body suit as my freebie.

Paired with a pair of baggie men army print jeans from Forever 21 and you got a sassy look.

collar

I love this white button up I got at h&m for literally $4.00. Unbelievable.

I always feel like Cher from Clueless when I wear it. You know the scene where she is about to take her driving test. "Lucy! Where is my white collarless shirt from Fred Segal?"

Her's collarless, mine collar. But you get the point I was trying to make.

The t-shirt was designed by Seattle artists Jordan. He's a graphic artists, photographer, hyphy historian and over round dope human being. Check out his work and Alive & Well, where he works.

Please note- no green. I am hella Irish so I'll take my chances not wearing it. Plus, all honesty, I hate this holiday. Really I just hate what it's become.
