New Dress!

Today I decided to make a dress. I didn't use any patterns I just sort of started sewing...
I paired it with a belt to make it more flattering. I absolutely love the pattern! And it took me no more than 30 minutes to make!

How to make this dress!

1. Choose a good fabric with a pattern or design that you like. Then measure (I guessed this part) How wide you want the bottom of your dress to be and  cut it out. (Don't worry about length at the moment)

2. With the pattern inside out sew it from top to bottom, so that when you turn it back you don't see the sewing thead.

3. Sew a hem on the top and bottom. Make the top hem atleast an inch wide (the bottom hem can be smaller)

4. At the back of the top of the dress where the sewing is, cut a small slit on either side. Then choose and kind of elastic band and pull it all the way through the hem and out the other side.

5. Now try on the dress pull the elastic string to fit you so that the dress doesn't fall :p and go strut the town! (Also pair with a belt if desired haha)

If you have any questions just comment this blog and I will get back to you!

Fall is on the way, but florals have got to stay!

Haha, yeah I made that title up myself :P
So, I'm trying to get out of summer fashion and in to fall, but I am finding it quite dificult. Today, I have mixed together what I think are fall colors? Like the forest green and brown. But I still had to pair my floral purse with something, so here it is!
The shorts were $5 and the tank was $2, what a steal! The tights, however were $8... and not exactly worth it, you see I ripped them the very first day I wear them -.-

Me and my Paperbag Skirt

In my previous blog you may remember my new blue blouse with the white collar and the rose in the middel. Well this skirt was once attached to that blouse, however I feel that these two peice are better worn apart.
With the skirt I made a "paperbag" type look with the brown belt, and I wore it with a lacey beige tank with frills on the front.
I'm sorry I haven't written many blogs lately, as you all know, school has begun and I've been pretty busy. But I will try to post atleast once a week, hopefully more!
Thanks for reading!

Searching for inspiration!

All I have been doing lately is buying pieces! Pieces of clothing I mean. I just can't see to get to motivation to put together outfits for them. But in the near future (hopefully before school begins) I hope to make a couple outfits out of these pieces and take some pictures in them. And here they are with discriptions underneath because my camera stinks big ones!

This is a lacey thick strapped tank top that I bought today for $16. Right now Im thinking about just wearing it with a pair of dark blue skinny jeans and brown boots, but I hope to find a skirt to wear with it.

This particular item is actually a thrifted dress I also bought today for $4! It hit up to my knees and it didn't look very flattering on me so I snipped it half was through! I plan of sewing a hem at the bottom and on me (because I have a very long torso) will look like a crop top. A bonus about this dress (which is now a shirt) is that I has shoulder pads! Man oh man, am I even in to them right now!

This is "bottom" half of the dress, which I plan on keeping for now... not sure quite what to do with it yet.

This I paid 2 dollars for it and I couldn't leave it! Its a plain pink cardigan with the cutest eyelet looking prints around the collar and the bottom of it. I have no clue what I am ever going to wear with this. Maybe faded denim shorts? Not sure yet...

And last but not least. The first brown bag I found in my mom's closet the other day! It looks pretty banged up and used but I think I can make it work... maybe. I checked the tag and it was from Aldo. Apparently my mom had got it quite some time ago. The second purse is one I bought thrifted for $6. I think I may try to pair it with the above pink cardigan... hmmm, I'm not to sure yet.

Anyway that is it for now, and I would love to hear opinions or suggestions on these pieces! Thanks!

Got bored of my moms closet

So, I raided my dad's closet this time.
LMAO! How crazy does that sound! But the oufit's not half bad eh?
The shirt is so old! I remember my mom bought it for him when I was a kid when my family went to Parc Safari! Haha, hope you enjoy. I would have wore a belt with it but I couldnt find a black one! I seached my entire house. No old belts lying around :(

Vintage Playsuit

Yesterday I drove to Ottawa (Thats in Canada) with my mom and my nanny, and the three of us did some thrift shopping! I found this amazing floral vintage romper/playsuit (I like the sound of playsuit better :D!)
I took these picture with my bestest friend Chanel! Her blog HERE! She puts together the cutest outfits so check out her blog. Honestly if it weren't for her I don't think I would have such an intrest in fashion today :)
So here was my outfit today!

Playsuit - Vintage

Necklaces - Vintage

Belt and ring - Garage

Purse - Aldo (borrowed form my friend Chanell!)

Shoes - H&M

Raided moms closet again.

Today I am wearing my moms beige knit cardigan, pearls and wool socks. When I walked into the kitchen this morning she laughed and looked me up and down. I rudely said, What? But I knew she thought my outfit was ridiculous. I don't care, most of the peices were hers anyway.
