Flatstock 2013

It's that time of year again: Bumbershoot. Seattle's music and multi media festival. But I go for one reason and one reason only: Flatstock!

And, I am broke yet again but it was worth it. I picked up a bunch of new stickers, meet new talented artists, and purchased two beautiful prints of Dolly Parton and Diana Ross on black velvet. Stunning pieces of artwork by Kii Arens.

        

Today it's a lazy sunday filled with cleaning my room, Mad Men, and hopefully seeing a movie later. Not to mention it's finally September. You have no idea how excited I am.

over cast, cloudy summer day. I am so happy!

Ok. This post is really my typical uniform (leggings and baggy shirt) with a twist. But I really just wanted to brag about my new bag. Sorry guys! But it's truly just that awesome! I got it for $15.00 at a thrift store in my neighborhood called "GATHER." I've walked by the place a million times and finally went in. Glad I did!

 

Also! If you noticed from the last post; I bought those beautiful bracelets. 3 for $4.00, what a steal!

 

Shoes Keds (Salvation Army) x Leather Leggings (American Apparel) $16.00
Shirt (H&M) $5.00 x Necklace (Goodwill) $7.00
DIY button up

DIY: half & half (button up lace)

ANOTHER DIY. Lucky you.

I saw this idea at forever 21 for $15.00 and then again at Urban Outfitters for $39. Yeah, fuck that. I made my own.

   

I bought this button up at Salvation Army for $3.75.

I bought the lace for $7.00 at the Fabric Store (Which gave me a little less than a yard)

 

My wonderful beautiful BFF sewing machine Audrey rocking the guttersnipe sticker. Of course.

 

1. Cut the vest in half. So it covers your chest. And cut right below or above a button as a place marker.

 

2. Sew the opening of where you cut first. This just helps with the pinning process.

 

3. Turn it inside out, pin lace to shirt.

 

4. Sew lace to shirt.

5. My favorite step: wear & share

The whole project coast me under $10.00 BAM guttersnipe swag.
