DIY: Sequin Sweatshirt
I am forever finding projects on Pinterest that I want to do, but don’t really ever get around to actually doing them. So when I saw the sequin sweatshirt diy on A Beautiful Mess, I didn’t think I’d do it, but I wanted to.
Durning my trip to Old Navy, I bought a sweatshirt similar to the Forever 21 top that was used on A Beautiful Mess. I love F21, but I live in Vermont and there isn’t one in the state. Nor is there a Target. Google it.
Because my sweatshirt was dark gray I had to use a white paint pen instead of a marker so I could see what I was doing, but other than that I just followed their steps and hoped for not the worst…
I am really impressed with how it came out. And don’t worry, I crossed the T before sewing it.
I love it and I feel super accomplished!
A Week Plus: White Tee
This week I wanted style something that I’m sure just about every owns. I also wanted to plug my favorite white t-shirt.
I know that I have mentioned Birchbox in a few posts, and while it remains my favorite box subscription, it is not the only one that I am currently signed up for. I decided to try Giuliana Rancic’s FabFitFun and liked not only the products that came in the box, but the fact that it included vouchers for a few things as well.
One said voucher was for $20 toward Me Undies and being that I wanted to get the most out of my voucher without spending a single cent of my own, I opted to try one of their t-shirts. Great life choice! I’m tiny so I got an XS and the fit was as if it was tailored for me! I should probably invest in at least another one, because, if I could get away with it, I would wear it every single day. And sleep in it…
Do you have a favorite white tee? What brand do you recommend?
A Week Plus: Leopard Heels
Ever since high school, and maybe even before that, I have found planning out my outfits for the week to be enjoying and somewhat meditative. Writing ideas down helps me to stay organized when planning, my notes aren’t entirely legible, but they work for me.
A fun fact about me: I LOVE LEOPARD PRINT…leopard any and everything. When asked what my favorite color is, I would say yellow, but in all honesty it’s leopard print.
The famous Jenna Lyons quote, “As far as I’m concerned, leopard is a neutral,” is an understatement.
So naturally when I wanted, another understatement, to do a second A Week Plus post, I felt I had to incorporate leopard somehow. Given that one of my favorite shoes are Steve Madden leopard print, pony hair heels, I went with it.
What is your take on leopard? I mean, I LOVE it, but are you over it? Do you own anything leopard print or have a favorite leopard print something? What is it? Please share, links to photos are more than welcome, they are encouraged…I want to see!
Grasie Mercedes X Foster Grant
I have entered a lot of contests and giveaways in my twenty something years. And I mean A LOT. I’m not entirely sure why, because I never, and I mean NEVER win. However, when Grasie Mercedes hosted a giveaway for 8 pairs of Foster Grant sunnies on her blog, I just had to try my luck so I entered and prayed that I’d win.
I had wanted to start a blog for a while now and after reading the Darling Magazine post, Why You Should Start a Blog, Part I on their website, I started to believe that I actually should. I bargained that if I won the contest, then I would.
Well, obviously, I won…
Do you own any Foster Grants? What is your favorite style? Share in the comments!
A Week Plus: Yellow Blazer
I scored this Banana Republic blazer on Poshmark and although I absolutely adore it, I wish I wore it more often.
After doing a few Instagram photo challenges, I thought about some different ways I could style outfits around my beloved yellow blazer. Using Pinterest for inspiration (because, well, who doesn’t?), I came up with just over a week’s worth of outfits.
Want your own yellow blazer? Try this!
This was a lot of fun, and I’m sure I’ll be doing this again! Have something that you’re not entirely sure how to wear? Tell me what it is, and if I have something similar, I’d totally be up for styling it!
