[My outfit] Glasses Girl

(Glasses:  BonLook, Scarf: H&M,  Dress: Zara, Bag: Rebecca Minkoff, Shoes: Forever21, Leather Jacket form high school, Bracelets: DIY Button bracelet, DIY chains, Chloe+Isabel,  Threadsence wrap)

This may be a #fashiongirlproblem, but when I put my outfit on this morning it did not even occur to me that I was mixing prints. Leopard = Neutral, Dots = Neutralish, Tan Ostrich Bag = Neutral.  

In retrospect it was a whole lot o' pattern, but somehow it all works together to create the perfect "lunch/strolling in Soho with my BFF" outfit. I also had to take my new Button Bracelets for a spin, and I think they are fitting into their new habitat quite nicely. 

Also, as you may have noticed, I am a bit of a glasses girl, so I am super excited to have a new sponsor who will indulge me in one of my biggest obsessions (most their glasses with lenses are under $100!). 

Welcome BonLook, and stay tuned tomorrow for a spec inspired DIY!

[My DIY] Button bracelet

The other day, a button fell off one of my coats, and instead on sewing it back on I decided to turn it into a new bracelet! Once I made one, I could not stop. Instead of ripping the fasteners off all my jackets I stopped by M&J Trimming and stared at the "wall of buttons" for far too long, and picked out a bunch.  Next on my list is a summer set made with Nautical buttons! 

Supplies: 1 yard of wax rope,  2 buttons (one large and one small)

I can't wait to mix these in with my everyday wrist of bracelets.

Make in a million colors, steps after the break!

[my DIY] Striped pants

Forever 21 Trousers, Jacket H&M, bracelets: Chloe + Isabel, Accessorize, and chain and Rhinestone DIY (pin the step-by-step here) gifted Ugg Australia duffel bag

I am a dress and skirt kinda girl, but am loving the trouser look, so wanted to test it out - with a DIY spin of course! I teamed up with Forever 21 and tested out a striped style I had seen on the runway.  Also in an effort to add a little color into my wardrobe, I recreated on a pair of blue trousers, check out the DIY on Forever 21's blog, The Skinny. I have also been pairing black and blue together a lot (seen here), I remember the days when I would NEVER wear the combo, and now I rather like it.  One trend I will not be testing out is baring the midriff...
