Go SF Heat!

Here is the outfit I wore to my sister, Leanne's, soccer game. Her team colors are blue and orange so I thought I'd show my support! Her team won their first game 4-0. So proud of her! 

Anyways, here are a couple side notes about the outfit:

I'm wearing the only orange bracelet I could find in my closet. It's from a camp called "BigStuf" I went to with my church this past summer. :)

The jeans I am wearing are actually from a goodwill store near my house. You'll find that I absolutely love thrift store shopping. I think It's really important that girls realize that having nice clothes doesn't always mean they have to be expensive. You can find really great things that don't cost you a fortune. From one teenage girl to another: I work for my money now and I can't really afford to spend hundreds of dollars on clothing. Don't ever feel embarrassed about not having "name-brand" clothing or shopping in less expensive stores when you can find things just as nice, if not better! These jeans have lasted me almost a year and were only $6.00!

The silver puzzle-piece necklace I am wearing was given to me by my wonderful boyfriend. Our names are engraved in it, along with our anniversary date.

T-shirts to Tank Tops

Here is another tutorial I found on YouTube. This will teach you how to take any old T-shirts and turn them into tank tops. 

What you will need:

- A T-shirt that fits you loosely

- Scissors

Step 1: Find a T-shirt that fits you loosely

Step 2: Cut off both sleeves 

Step 3: Cut off the collar of the shirt

Step 4: Pull on the fabric to stretch the straps (The edges will curl. Don't worry, that's supposed to happen.)

Step 5: Cut a long and thin piece of fabric from one of the already cut off sleeves. Make sure that It's long enough to tie around the straps. You can pull the fabric to give it more of a "rope-ish" feel.

Step 6: Tie the straps together in the back with the extra piece of fabric.

The straps should be tied farther towards the back so the shirt looks like this:

And there you have it! 

In this case I wore the shirt over my dance uniform, but you can wear it to the beach or just as a casual outfit.

Enjoy!

A Whole New Meaning To "Dress-Shirt"

I saw a video tutorial of this on YouTube and I wanted to try it out. Basically, you take any men's large shirt (one with short sleeves, preferably!) and turn it into a simple yet cute dress! This shirt was not the best example, but you can use any shirt you already have. 

Step 1: Find a men's large shirt (I used one of my dad's shirts)

Step 2: Pull the hole where your head goes through down above your chest

Step 3: Take the two sleeves on each side and tie them either in front or in back (It depends on your style and how you like the dress) 

Step 4: Tuck any extra pieces of the sleeve that stick out under the folds

That's it! It's super simple. One of the things I love most about this is that there is no cutting involved so you don't ruin the shirt. You can top the dress off with a jean jacket or cardigan.

Enjoy!

Bumming It...

 

 

I did not really dress up today.  I took the ACT exam this morning while running on only four hours of sleep. It was pretty chilly outside this morning so I actually wore boots without worrying about getting awkward stares. :)

 

 

Top: Walmart

Jeans: Target

Boots: Payless

Sunglasses!

These are my favorite sunglasses right now. I used to always wear aviators but they would always break on me. These have lasted for a while and they are from a store I love called "Cotton on."

My First Post :)

Well here is my first post on my new blog. This is more of a daytime outfit. In the picture I am wearing a navy blue floral top (it actually belongs to my mom), with black jeans, and nude wedges that my aunt gave to me. I don't usually wear heels to casual events but I feel like the jeans tone the outfit down. I topped it all off with some turquoise jewelry that matched some of the flowers within the top. I would recommend a small necklace with this outfit since the ruffles on the shirt would most likely drown out a long one.

Navy Blue Floral Top: Kohl's 

Black Jeans: Target

Wedges: I am not sure where my aunt bought these, but I am sure you can find Nude heels at any shoe store.
