• Fashion Fails and Jewelry Sales

  I spend the majority of time in hot pink yoga pants, a floppy tshirt, and a “bun” on top of my head.  It’s my work-from-home-running-an-Etsy-shop look. I tried to dress up my bun with a headband I made from an old pillowcase. It helped. I felt fancy. 

  

  Sometimes, its nice to dress up a little. I feel like I am rediscovering all things girly. A year or two ago (I can’t remember when exactly), purple was in fashion.  I was so excited to see finally see purple everywhere (my FAVE color) so I stocked up on all kinds of fun shirts and skirts. Then fashion went back to being confusing and weird. But recently, I am seeing all kinds of colors and ideas that have got me excited about putting together outfits. Is it because its all bright colors and interesting shapes and brings me back to the outfits I probably wanted to put together as a kid?  Maybe…but, whatever it is, I’m having fun with it. 

  

  Mt favorite accessory?  A cat-butt hat.  Even better if it snores.

  

  

  My facebook status the other day goes along with this dressing room picture:

  I found an awesome deal on a new skirt today. It has a really cool high-low hemline. I put it on to show Joe when we got home and I spun in a circle while proudly exclaiming “Look at me! I’m being trendy for once!” Joe said “You look amazing…but I think that’s supposed to be a dress…” He was right. This is why I fail at being trendy y’all.

  I don’t care. I wore it out as a skirt anyway. 

  

  I customized and ordered this necklace from The Serendipitous Find. They threw in these silver spike earrings for free!  

  

  It got me inspired to make some new jewelry for myself!  I hit the sales at Hobby Lobby and got enough stuff for several necklaces. I will share pictures when they’re all completed!

  

  I’ll end with a new pic of my current hair. The purple had faded to blue, so I added hot pink in there and now I have three different colors going on. It makes me happy.
