comfy in the early

I woke up really really early this morning. For no real reason actually. Just 5 AM rolled around and I was awake. I know I am going to regret it later when I crash...

But for the time being I did get a lot of work. Posted my newest & latest Married To The Mob article all about hashtags. Oh how I love a good hashtag!

And since I woke up early this morning there is only one thing to do; get doughnuts & coffee. It's also a beautiful day.

 

You have no idea how comfy these pants are. I mean it's truly ridiculous. The pants are also just ridiculous overall, but whatever!

Necklace (Goodwill) $1.00

Shirt (Nylon Challenge - Salvation Army) $4.75

Tank Top (H&M) $6.00

Pants (deseret industries) $2.00

Shoes (Target) $15.00

NYLON Challenge: nyc blues x march on

I finally got the latest issue of Nylon magazine and it is stock full with some great fashion inspirations. I haven't done a challenge in awhile because I am slacking but truly I was also just really disappointed with the last few issues.

I did my take on two different "mass appeal" spreads. Both have similar color schemes and textures so I am posting both in one big post.

Think of it as a two for one special. Or something.

The Spread #1:

A Guttersnipe's personal take:

 

breakdown: (from left to right)

shoes ($9.99) - bag ($4.50) - tiger print skirt ($6.00) - jean shorts ($5.86) - leopard print ($4.50) - Jean Dress ($4.78) x Leopard Cuffed Sweater ($8.45) - Leopard Blouse ($7.68) x White Tank Top ($0.99) -

leopard shirt ($4.75) x Jean Vest ($7.65)


Nylon Challenge # 2:

My personal take:

 

Heels ($12.00) - Kitten Heels ($9.87) - Vest ($8.89) x Purple Blouse ($10.98) - Blazer ($5.67) - Jacket ($12.98) - Cardigan ($5.67) x Sweater ($6.78) - Button Up ($4.75) - Top ($3.49) x Pants ($7.85) - Pants ($8.22) - Leather Skirt ($2.37)

More Challenges to come as well as a new DIY!

Happy Halloween Eve (& my birthday eve)!

Now that's out of the way, some of you might of saw this on my instagram. Well it's finished and I am sporting it today.

It was a boy's camo shirt I bought at the goodwill outlet. There was a massive hole in the shirt, so like any good guttersnipe I didn't discard it. I bought the shirt for 75 cents and found some left over fabric scraps.

 Side note: I love these shoes. They make me feel like a little witch. Which is prefect timing right now.

Shoes (NYLON Grunge Challenge) $4.99

Tights (Nordstrom Rack) $4.00

Shorts (DIY High waisted shorts)

Shirt (Goodwill Outlet) $0.75

Another reminder - It's #dreamboatTuesday on the tumblr today

I am such a fish out of water. I am tad bit strange.

pants (Target) $7.00

Nylon Challenge: After Dark

Yet again, another Nylon Challenge. Also, once again I use photoshop, and I'll be honest, I have NO IDEA what I am doing. It's sloppy and messy but whatever, I am fashionista not a graphic artist. And hey! At least I know bad work when I see it....

Back to the topic tho: This Nylon Challenge is from August 2012 "Denim Issue" with Twilight actress Ashley Green on the cover. (and for those playing at home page 56)

Of course all items found where under $15 and all at Salvation Army. And of course you are going to find satin and jewel colored items at a 2nd hand store.
