Craft Time!

As I was doing my daily search through the Topshop website yesterday, I came across this gem! Despite the fact that it's more than 100 degrees here everyday right now, and will be shorts weather for another 2 or 3 months, I'm already mentally building my ideal autumn/winter wardrobe. I instantly thought I needed this sweatshirt, and then I saw the pricetag! $90!! FOR A SWEATSHIRT WITH LIGHT BEADING/SEQUINS! ARE THEY MENTAL?



Then I got to thinking, that would probably actually be a pretty easy project! I also think it'd be better on a different color pullover, but as of now they only have grey. I think tomorrow I'll go look for a suitable sweatshirt and my sequins and beads! Chances are I can find a good option at a thrift/charity shop, or even something new from Forever21 would still come out WAYYY cheaper than what Topshop wants! Of course, I'll take pictures as I work on it and post how it comes out! I'm not the most artsy person so FINGERS CROSSED! The detail of the hearts is below- if anyone else wants to give it a go, too!

Days 8 thru 13

Day 8- Most expensive article of clothing.

Love this conductor style trench! It's a little bit big on me, but it was on mega-clearance (so technically not my most expensive article- whatever) so we got it! Definitely looking forward to breaking it in this fall!



Day 9- A cute dress (or skirt).

Something else I haven't gotten to wear yet! My grandma insisted on getting this one for me, said this was how they used to dress everyday when she was my age. It's kind of hard to see all the details in the picture, but I love the flowy but still structured pleats! Hopefully someone will get married soon and I can wear it with a fascinator (really want one of those!)



Day 10- An outfit you wore on a special day.

Special day, yes... special outfit, not so much! Wore this to a show/after party that I'll never forget- got to hang out with people I've crushed on for years and met some people that are now some of my closes friends!





Day 11- A piece of jewelry that a grandparent gave you.

My grandma started gold charm bracelets for all of us granddaughters when we were in elementary school- mine didn't quite buildup like everyone else's did. I think actually destroyed one of these before she got me this one :( The only charms I have are: a dog, a sweet-water basket, a dolphin (not pictured), sand-dollar, and a horseshoe.



Day 12- A piece of jewelry that everyone compliments you on.

A friend that I've had since I was 4 got me this necklace when I was in 2nd or 3rd grade-a LONG time ago- when she was on vacation in the Tennessee mountains! They're little leather moccasins with a beaded flower design chain.



Day 13- Cute socks.

Knee high heart patterned socks from Forever 21. ... not too much to say about these, but I think they fit the bill.

C&A challenge days 2 and 3

Day 2: Your favorite shirt.





I know this one's pretty boring looking, it's much cooler in person. It's a thin, grey with pinkish-corally stripes hi-lo top from forever21, but the cool part is that the whole back of the shirt has these seashell looking buttons down the length of it. yeah... still not that cool, but HEY- you can't help who you love.

Day 3: A piece of clothing or jewelry that was a gift.



these are both gifts from my dad from some little jewelry place in/near blackpool, england. (a necklace and silver bracelet with squares of the same seashell looking stuff as the buttons on the shirt.
