We Live Upstairs I Look like Candy Outfit
Shirt: Thrifted; Shorts: Audrey; Shoes: UO; Collar Necklace: Made it Myself!; Hat: Maurices 3-4 years ago?

Everything about what I'm wearing reminds me of a starburst or popsicle. Which, in this heat, sounds just magnificent. 
This pair of shorts is one of the items I picked up on my mini shopping trip last weekend. They were quite the steal, but the deal was that the zipper was completely broken. I snagged them anyway and sewed snaps on instead! Now they're perfect : ) I will say, all this time to myself lately has turned me into quite the crafty bee. Not complaining!

And I whipped up this collar necklace using the DIY from Refinery 29. I made some variations, of course, but I think it turned out pretty well; especially considering I used the leather from an old handbag that bit the dust! I can't wait to make more in all sorts of colors and fabrics! I'm planning on doing a few posts about all the goodies I've made the past couple of weeks, but I'm waiting on the return of my camera boy ; )

Well, I'm off to enjoy a weekend visit from my friend Daniel! There'll be reminiscing and laughter a-plenty. Do y'all have anything neat planned?

  1. Hello collar! <3 please make your way into my possession. Thanks! Sincerely, envious non collared Rosie.

    Those shorts! The small detail is adorable. I have a similar problem with some f21 shorts I got a couple years ago. Snaps?! Why did I never think of this?!

    Now, grace us all with your diys please. (;

    1. Haha, thanks Rosie! It's super easy to do; you should look into it!
      Yeah, I was either going to do snaps or hook + eye closures, but snaps just worked better for these particular shorts.
      And I want to so badly! But I'd rather wait until I can take decent photos of the things. Soon!

    That was right now.

    1. Aww, haha, you're so sweet Michelle! I hope graduate school has been treating you well! I must admit, I have been terrible myself lately about keeping up my blog reading, so no worries! I'm so glad you stopped back by though! Your comments always make me smile : )

    1. Thanks so much Ashley! That's confirmation from bloggers I admire is always a good thing!
      And, yeah, I though so too! Although it didn't help the already intense and constant craving to sugar I have : /
