6/7/12 Like a Sir OOTD

Today, I have on a sweater I got from a thrift store for a dollar (that's right a buck)! The tag actually says it is from H&M too, so it was a nice buy. I also have on a crocheted bow tie necklace that I made a few years ago (it makes me feel like a sophisticated gentleman). The acid wash shorts are from a little Korean boutique  that use to be near my house called. Sadly, they went out of business because they were located in an awkward place amongst restaurants. These studded flip flops from Old Navy I purchased a few years back were an investment. I wear them all the time and the studs add a little edge to the feminine sandal. Of course,  I have on my funky Eyeball ring from Etsy. I would also like to take the time to point out that I have NEVER painted my nails red. Past reds that I have tried haven't looked to great on my skin. But I absolutely adore this shade of red with my skin tone. It is such a deep and vibrant shade that I'm reminded of blood or Minnie Mouse's dress. <3

5/13/12 DIY Scalloped Shorts

 1. Take a pair of trousers or pants that you are willing to cut. I got these high waisted trousers at a thrift store for Halloween but never wore them since.

 2. Fold trousers over to make an even cut across. I a long line before hand so I would know to cut a little bellow.
3. Take a ruler or measuring tape to measure how long each scallop will be and mark how ever long you desire.

4.Draw out your scallops.
5. First pin, then cut your marked scallops.

6. VERY IMPORTANT STEP!!! Take the time to clean up your work area before you start sewing! ;)
7. Find the desired thread colors.

8. Use a zig zag stitch across the bottom of your scallops so that your shorts will not fray.
9. If you have a soldering iron with a flat head, rub against the sewn edges to melt down any fray. This is optional but it looks professional in the long run.

10. Show off your adorable mod scalloped shorts!

Pst! I love my new Dolce Vita heels! :3
