Lookbook

I just started a Lookbook. This is mine. I posted one look and it got deleted. Posted another one and it's still there. I've at least got 1 hype, so I've gained a little bit of satisfaction. I'm definitely wanting to get into it, I need a photographer though. I can't wait till Meredith and Jessie move up, then I'll have people to take photos with and I'll get to explore all of the photo op. spots I've been discovering around town.

I Want to Make

I wanna find a sewing class to join this summer. Otherwise I've got to learn on my own cause I'm itching to make these things!

Gotta break out the 99 Ways to Cut Your T-Shirt book plus try to make these two things.

The white one looks like it can be done without any sewing.

For this, I just gotta discover a blouse with a great print and material from a thrift store.

I posted a dress similar to this one in an earlier blog. These seem like they'd be really easy to make. Find an old shirt, add some material from a skirt or anything random. Play with the length and where you'd like it to sit on your waist.

If only I could turn all the great flannels I find into something like this...

Diggin the shortened sleeves.

I think both of these things would be fairly easy. You can find those little wooden boxes at craft stores for cheap. Paint it any way you please, add some material to the inside, add some designs and embelishments. Way cheaper than this LuckyBrand box. I'm sure this pillow would be simple. Use scraps of material you have lying around;Perfect way to recycle old material. Even if your sewing skills aren't that great, the mistakes would add to its look and give it more character.

Colorful Jeans

Love the turquoise with both of these, && their tropical feel.

Splash of sunny color with neutrals.



I read about this in NYLON mag. O.P.I. Brights and Paige Denim. I'll take both, please and thankyou =]

I Love Versatility

Not only do I love old clothes that can be recycled into something new, I love clothes that can be worn multiple ways and can be worn for years. Damn you, American Apparel:: you've got the idea down perfectly, but why so expensive? I love AA's manufacturing ideals, but I've read that the quality is not the best is could be. Please let me know if you believe otherwise, cause these are purchases I'd love to make.

A nice, breezy jersey cotton skirt/dress. It's available in so many colors. I found a navy skirt, similar to this one, at a thrift store. I have worn it as a tube dress, belted at the waist, and also as a skirt that sits at the waist. I can picture the possibilities the Eggplant colored one from AA would bring me.


This menswear-esque dress/shirt can be worn with anything. I've got ideas like black tights and slouchy boots, or a pair colorful or printed tights; it could be worn unbuttoned with jeans and a white tee; it would look dressy tied around the waist with dark skinny jeans and heels. Possibly even work attire. I can think of so many possibilities. Plus, it's a classic piece that will continue to be wearable.
