Spring Stylin'

With the warm weather around the corner, high waisted shorts are without a doubt my 'go to' trend for this spring. I am completely obsessed with them. I plan on making a lot more of these babies! If you want to make your own high waisted destroyed cut off denim shorts, here's the diy from my previous post. :)

My outfit for today consisted of a white lace tank, high waisted shorts, charcoal cardigan, gold glitter flats, and bronze filgree leaf earrings. Girly, simple, and fun.

I ran a bunch of errands today so this was definitely a comfy outfit to go about my business.

Rainy Days: Cozy and Casual

Rainy days are the perfect days to layer like crazy. In addition to being sick... waahhh :(, I tried to do my best not to look horrible even though I feel like absolute doo doo.

For this casual outfit I wore a tiered stripe long sleeve top, beige cardigan, and light jeans. I threw my hair in a messy side braid since I was too lazy to do anything else.

I accessorized with my rose gold Fossil watch my honey bought me for Christmas, cream/orange/gold pearl chandelier earrings, and my cognac boots. Boots are the best for rainy days!

The Start Of Something New

So I'm starting today with an outfit of the day post. A start to something new! I'm so happy you can be here for this new journey. :)

My closet is clustered with so much clothes that from here on out I'm challenging myself to see how far I can go without repeating an outfit. I will provide where I purchased them from and whatnot. I love playing dress up so this should be oh so fun!

Today for my first outfit post, I chose to go with something simple and elegant. I love lace. I love leopard print. I love blouses. Actually I'm obsessed, so this combination is very me in every way possible.

I should have done these outfit of the day posts sooner! I don't know why I never thought of it. Haha. I hope all you lovelies have a fashionable and fun day! :)

Simple Gold Trim Cream Tank

Tanks are so versatile and pretty therefore I had to make this cutie. I sewed this cream tank without the gold trim at first, but I felt it was missing some pizazz so the gold trim was added after I completed the tank. Ohhh yes, just perfect and still very simple and chic. :)

I made this tank out of a tablecloth, but of course you can purchase a tank top from anywhere and add any kind of trim. I used the left over gold trim from my DIY: Gold Spiral Cuff Bracelet.

The front, back and side views.

I wore this super cute tank with dark skinnys, red pumps and chandelier earrings. :)

I can see myself wearing this as an everyday look. Very simple and sweet.

Pretty In Peach & Lace

Lace adds a touch of elegance to just about anything-- hence why I'm so obsessed. This top looked really simple, but it was a bit of a challenge to execute. I have been brainstorming a top like this for quite some time now. Thankfullyyyy, I realized to use my mannequin that I've had for almost a year which made making this top SOOO much easier. Unfortunately, since this peach lace top was a bit of a challenge I wasn't able to make a tutorial out of it, but I shall when I feel I'm capable to do so in my next designs.

In the meantime I want to show you lovelies my new top I made. I am so proud of myself and this is definitely one of my favorite tops I've made thus far.

My inspiration I found on Pinterest, of course. :)

I used some peach fabric from a pillow case and some lace from a window valance. As you can tell recycling materials is my favey!

My mannequin was truly a life saver because I was able to pin everything into place before sewing-- really what you're suppose to do, but I never really did. Haha. To each their own but honestly, I see why mannequins are so important when designing because it helps out with measurements which is something I have yet to master the skills.

Thee finished peach lace top! Front, back, and side views.

I spent about 3 days making this top and learning new things about sewing clothes along the way. Hopefully sometime soon I will understand more to be able to guide you through a tutorial.

I loooove how it turned out in the end-- surprisingly just what I envisioned. I paired this lovely peach lace top with light denim jeans from Forever 21 and taupe t-strap heels from JCPenney.

Very prim and proper, yes? :)
