DIY: Monster Cardigan

I was doing some much needed spring clean of my closet the other day and I realized that I get attached to clothing items. Memories. Cheesy, but so true.

So instead of giving away some pieces, I thought I would just revamp a few. The steps are very similar to the Sweater Jacket and 2nd 3 (more) ways to Jazz up a t-shirt.

 

1. one sweater, one cardigan, one flannel, one sweater.

 

2. Cut both shelves off the cardigan, left arm of the flannel, and right arm of the sweater.

 

3. Pin in place and sew.

 

4. Wear & Share

Whole thing coast me under $15.00. Enjoy!

Yesterday was sunny and cold. But today, today is another typical beautiful wet, cold, over cast, miserable day in Seattle. So I thought it be best to not let my outfit reflect the weather too much.

Last night I watched Sleepless in Seattle for the first time ever. I know, lived in Seattle my whole life and never watched the movie. Well I loved it! I am a sap for cheesy shit like that. But in all honesty the top rom-com has to be My Best Friend's Wedding. It keeps it 100.

I like to think of myself as a "helpless romantic" vs a "hopeless romantic." The differences are massive.

Oh a whole another note, my wonderful friend Gabby gave me a late birthday gift: Unicorn earrings.

  

When I saw these I was speechless, which is hard for me ever to be. If you know me, you know unicorns are my spirit animal. It's the girliest/dumbest thing about me. I just love unicorns. Plus these earrings are banging. You can't even hate.

They paired with today's outfit perfectly.

I went out dancing last night with some friends. Seattle goes hard on Mondays. (Well only a couple places in Seattle go hard on Monday.) NOW my phone & wallet were stolen but I am trying to stay positive. What goes around comes around.
