OOTD Friday #1

You made it to the end of the week! Welcome everybody today is Friday and it's time to unveil my very 1st OOTD (Outfit Of The Day). Todays outfit dresses down a black pencil skirt and is paired with a white graphic t-shirt featuring Johnny Depp as Crybaby.



To add a little flair to the outfit I accessorized with black, lace up wedges, black suspenders, and my go to cat eye sunglasses. You can also throw a cute fitted blazer on instead of the suspenders and substitute the wedges for a pair of Doc Martins to fit your style. Makeup wise, I would add a pop of color with a bright red lip and a strong winged liner. Tie your hair up with a bandana and you are ready to shake, rattle, and roll.

Make it Monday #1

Happy Monday everyone! Today I will be showing you my Make It Monday project. I love sewing and fashion and one thing I don't have is a  cape!? Many of you are probably thinking "what?" I think it is a great cross between a poncho (which I love) and a coat. Sadly I didn't photograph the whole process but I will the next project.  Now this is not a super hero one, but a stylish one. The materials in total cost $7.10 (with the exception that some of the materials I already had). All the materials except the lining and interfacing were bought at garage sales and flea markets. Check out the pictures down below.

 

(Look below for pictures)

Pattern 10 cents (Flea Market)

 

(From Left to Right) Black lining (had), Interfacing (had),

Grey Wool Blend (bought in a bag with several other fabrics at garage sale) $5.00

 

Blue and Green buttons (bought at flea market) $2.00 for both

Collar

 

There are still a lot of things to do to finish this soon to be the star of winter. I need to finish the front and bottom hems and attach the collar. I also still need to figure out how I'm going to work around the buttons without making a button hole. My plan is to use the green buttons because the blue ones are almost as dark as the cape. Who doesn't like a pop color?



 

Welcome! My first post!

This weekend I went to a couple of great garage sales and picked up some cool looking handkerchiefs. There are nine total, ranging in pattern and size. I picked up these little cuties for only $2.00! What a steal! They all seem to be in good condition minus a few stains from over the years. Not sure what my plans are for them yet but I'm sure I'll find something to do with them. 

Check them out !
