Tomboy











I have a tendency to wear extremely colorful and loud clothing. I can't help it, I love wearing bright florals, stacks and stacks of huge statement jewelery, and pretty much anything that makes my short little self stand out. However, when I saw the lookbook for the new Tomboy Style book that is coming out it was a great reminder that even subtle, neutral palette clothing can make a big statement.

DIY Fringe Shirt


 
Materials needed:
A Mens Size Small T-shirt
A Ruler
A Pencil or Marking Tool
Scissors

Turn your t-shirt inside out, fold it in half. Cut the lower part of each sleeve off. 

 With your ruler mark a diagonal line on your shirt with the lowest part in the middle of the shirt. then cut the bottom section off and discard.



Draw a new line approximately three inches above your cut bottom, this is where you will cut your fringe to.  If you are right handed start from the left holding the pice you want to cut in your left hand and cutting with your right. Continue across the bottom off the shirt.  (If your are right handed start from the right)

Make a small cut beside the collar of the shirt. for the back cut following just below the collar line.  For the front I was going for a casual t-shirt so kept my cut a big higher.  To keep your cut even you can fold the t-shirt in half making sure to keep the back half clear of your scissors.  Start your cut at the lowest point cutting up wards to meet with your original neckline cut.   Remember you can always cut off more so start with a modest cut.

Vintage Love



I'm so in love with my newest vintage find I had to quickly snap a photo and show it on here. I found this amazing vintage pearl beaded collar necklace at a local antique store. There, in between the rows of old furniture and antlers, was this bad boy. I instantly knew I had buy it I and really haven't taken it off since.
