#TBT - Flash back

I have really been enjoying myself with clothing of late and it was only fitting that I do a post on some of my favorite moments with clothes in the past couple of months. I have really come a long way because I had a time where I was properly allergic to dresses and now thou, some of my favorite things I own are actually dresses.

First things first is this awesome maxi dress I got from Traffic. I love the print on this dress and how light it feels. It’s a lot of dress but, when I have it on it just feels effortless.

Then we have this “traditional” dress my mom bought for me, for a function I was going to. It’s such a cheeky dress and just loads of fun. I had a lot of complements when I had it on and in all honesty I loved every single moment of it.  I teamed it up with my all stars (this is actually my first pair ever, I know, I know, shock and horror) and the wooden bag I got as a gift.

For our staff outing I got my Anisa skirt. I had been hunting for this everywhere and when I eventually got it I was very happy. I am obsessed with the print as well as how it just fits. One other thing that I am obsessed with are the pockets cause, I am just that kind of girls. I am all about little added extras. I teamed it with my all stars as well as a simple black body suit I bought from Legit.

Last Sunday I played it simple with this white blouse I got from Forever 21 and cigarette chinos from Mr Price. I had also managed to finally get this fedora with the kitty ears from YDE. This is like my staple hat and I am constantly looking for ways to wear it with every outfit. I am wearing it as I write this post.

Last but not least is this little dress I got from YDE. I added the beaded necklace to the dress just for that extra bit of “pow”. I wore it to my sister’s confirmation mass and it was just one of the most beautiful moments to experience.

For most part most of my outfits that I am feeling I post on instagram. J

DIY denim shorts

As the heat starts to go up and shorts are becoming a prominent feature on the streets. It was only fitting I make mys own denim shorts. Well my other reasons for this DIY project is that, I'm a bit of a cheapskate and want to make something that is a tad bit different. 

What you will need: 

- a pair of jeans you are willing to snip.

- scissors 

-cotton a small needle as well as a big one. 

- beads 

- a foot scrubbing thing ( something with a rough surface that will distress the denim).

After I cut my jeans to the desired length, I cut strips in the jeans. These don't have to be the same length as it gives dimensions. I used the foot scrub thing to rubbed the jeans so that they got a bit of a aged  look. 

I then started with the needle on the slits. I removed some of the threads in different directions to get the look I wanted. 

On one side of the jeans I started with the beads. You can use one bead at a time or two, it all depends on you. 

I cut a block of fabric and placed it under the slits. you can start sewing the fabric on the sides. Don't worry if the thread shows a little bit , it just ads to the "rustic and I don't care much" look. You can also opt to not put the fabric in. 

The final look:) 

I just love how it turned out. It's not over the top which is what I was praying for when I was busying cutting and beading. 

This was truly fun to do. It's official I will b adding more DIY projects to the blog from today on.

After body

Hahahaha that's me looking like a fool. It's safe to say I'm no longer on the challenge. I tried my best at it and it's safe to say I am not for repetitive workouts. I got bored. *sigh* 

I kept my word thou and posted an "after "
