Shredded

"Start where you are; Use what you have; Do what you can."  -  Arthue Ashe

My look is made up of thrifted pieces.  My cropped jean jacket was a D.I.Y. project I did a couple of years ago. I shredded the front with a box-cutter, cut both sleeves and hemmed them, and used a cloth for bleaching stripes.  Are you guys making any alterations to your summer clothing?

 

 

Faded Hue

 I tend to consider myself a busy body during the summer.  A major self-given project I just recently tackled since being home for summer is organizing clothes I've accumulated this school year.  It is so hard for me to decide what I should give away and/or keep due to me eventually wanting to keep EVERYTHING!  In this look, my blouse and skirt is what I happen to come across among the madness of my closet.  I forgot how much I loved the faded effect on this skirt and the nice touch of sparkle with the scattered sequins flowing to the hem.  My knit blouse I thought would be nice to pair up with giving off a touch of a boho feel.  And I think I might just hold on to these pieces a little while longer..... What fashion pieces are you discovering for the summer?

Thrift: Knit blouse, earrings

Discount Store: Skirt, Silver sandals

Flowy & Perfect

It is so good to be home for the summer and away from anything that reminds me of exams. This has been one long semester and I'm glad that Im done and its over with. Not to mention I'm looking forward to celebrating my upcoming birthday and Mother's day all in one day ! 

On my look, I wore this out recently to dinner with some college friends before we all departed for the summer.  I love dresses like these that you can easily dress up with a blazer or be casual with a cute pair of sandals. Its flowy and perfect for the upcoming summer whether. Are you guys doing anything special for Mother's Day?

Turquoise Vino

With all the snow days here in North Carolina in the past week,  it gave me some extra time to plan a shoot this weekend as I watched the snow melt.   The cold air was a little rough but keeping up with looks in Fashion Week gave me the inspiration I needed to get it done. And also some styles to look forward to in warmer weather.  What trends of Fashion Week got you motivated for the summer?
