Hi Guys!
I know for a fact you will be seeing me in a lot of denim
this spring and summer! Feel free to ignore me all spring and summer if you aren’t
a denim fan lol. I thought I’d share
with you guys a little DIY-ish thing I did with this look. Let’s just say I work
well under pressure and I don’t know what it’s like to ever be fully prepared whether
it’s hours or days or months ahead! Now, not to say that is is necessarily a bad thing. Typically when I shoot
on weekends, I pick my look in less than one hour. Here is why: I don't know if I will wake up bloated and the cute little outfit I had planned will no longer work! I rather feel things as they come and go with the flow! Anyone else? Let me further explain...
See, I am just one of those people who can go up on stage
and just start talking or improvise for things on the spot. Funny story: my
friend Cari bought me the cutest planner from VALFRE for Christmas and I have
yet to use it. It is by far the coolest planner ever and she always gives me
crap for not using it how I should. I am not one to write down every single
thing, partly because I am pretty sure I am developing carpel tunnel (or
something of that realm). I am good with memorizing which I know I shouldn’t
really rely on. Ok, I feel like I got a little sidetracked… sorry! Maybe I should
be filming videos instead of writing lol. Writing just makes me feel really
relaxed. Keep reading for the look!
WHAT ARE REALLY CAME
HERE FOR IS DOWN BELOW.
DIY TIPS FOR MY DENIM TOP:
I decided to improvise last minute and turn a regular denim
button down shirt into a crop top. You can do this with any shirt, honestly.
You can either create a knot (like I did) or if you want to get crafty, grab
some scissors (only do this if you are experienced) OR get some pins and
shorten the height of the top. I would normally just create a knot because that
way I can keep the original shape of the shirt and use it both ways for more
looks! Another thing I like to do is just tuck anything in. I love the whole
tucking in a shirt with pants, skirts and shorts. It just gives a clean look in
my opinion.
ZE OTHER STUFF:
My pants are from a couple years
ago (like 3-4 years). They may look similar to the pants I shot a couple posts
down, but they are not. These are actually red orange and slim at the bottom. I
like to think that this was a good purchase because even years after these
pants seem to be worn very often by others. Again, Forever 21 is major key when
trying to style on a budget. My shoes are simply tan Nine West heels I snagged
up at Ross for $25.00! Denim top is from Banana Republic Outlet, $25.00 and
some change. Tote is a no name brand (literally has no trace of a brand on it, since it is very very old) and I actually kidnapped it from my mother’s
closet lol #sorrymom. I do know that she purchased this at ROSS many years ago! I am sure a replica can be found on Amazon! And lastly, my watch is actually from JORD. I recently
had a campaign with them and was gifted this lovely watch. Personally, I think
it is perfect for summertime since it is wooden!
By the way, I am so sorry if you can’t purchase these same
exact items. I am just a hoarder of things and I tend to always come back and
style old pieces! I will make sure to list a few items below for you to shop
and get ideas from.
If you are reading
this, thank you for navigating through my rambling! LOL I LOVE YOU FOR THAT! Until
next week! Adiossss!
Xo, Michelle
