I had an amazing weekend filled with the best ever garage sale, tons of pool time, lots of sugar, and even some fun time with my friends! I can't wait to show you all of the items that I got from the sale!!! Hopefully, I will have a sneak peak of all of the items later this week. After all of that I am so tired but I am going to try and post my outfit today after lunch to makeup for not posting last friday. I hope that everyone had an amazing weekend! 

Jewel Tones

Shirt: F21 - it's a bit more more purple than the camera picks up

Skirt: DIY by me almost 8 years ago

Shoes: Steve Madden from Emeryville Store; 

got these on sale for $20 because this pair was marked with the wrong price!

Bracelets: left arm - both purplish and beaded

right arm - Christmas gift from co-worker

Nail polish: OPI Quarter of a Cent-Cherry

This is a modified version of the outfit that I wore to work today. I was really sore today from hiking Runyon Canyon yesterday with the family so I decided not to wear the heels or the skirt and opted for some plain black dress pants from Express. Occasionally, comfort is the deciding factor in what I'm going to wear to work that day. I am not a morning person by ANY means so pants are usually easier to throw on in the morning instead of trying to find tights and a skirt. 

The skirt is made out of a men's large t-shirt from my grade school days on LHTV (Laurel Hall Television). I made it sometime in the beginning of high school when I was really into making clothing for myself out of old t-shirts from all my LH class trips. The band of the skirt is made from an old Limited Too sweatshirt that I wore when I was little. You can see the red of the band peaking out in the picture that I am holding Tanner in (it is the same color as the nail polish). 

I love this bracelet that one of my co-workers got me for Christmas. I am not quite sure where she got it but it came in the cutest case with some Italian on it. I don't wear it very often in real life (except picture taking) because it is very chunky and catches on all of my clothing, which drives me crazy. The same goes for rings, they tend to get in the way of typing and other activities, plus I take them off and play with them and subsequently lose them! So I just try and stay away from most rings and bracelets but I want to venture out more and try wearing more rings and bracelets.  

New Clogs

I didn't end up spending much time shopping on Saturday because I got a last minute call to babysit for some family friends. But my sister an I popped over to Nordstrom's just to quickly peak at the shoes. She saw all the clogs but couldn't find any pair that she wanted in her size, so she convinced me to buy a pair! Every good Scandinavian girl needs a pair of clogs! We both have been in love with clogs our whole lives so the fact that they are trendy now is amazing. I ended up wearing them all day Sunday shopping with my parents and they were pretty comfortable. I can't wait to wear them all summer while I dream about adventuring around in Denmark with my lovely cousins!

Happy Monday!

I know this isn't an outfit picture or anything but it is a really cute picture of my dog. I promise that later today I will have an actual post related to clothes and shoes. :) 

p.s. is anyone else reading a live blog or twitter of the WWDC? It is pretty interesting, not a lot of surprises because of the whole Gizmodo situation but kind of sad that they are having so many problems with the network. 

More Shredding!

Over Memorial weekend I went crazy shredding more shirts to wear this summer. My mom and dad stare at me strangely while I shred and they keep asking me why I am destroying all of my clothing. When I explain they just roll their eyes. Oh well! I like them and so do my friends! I am taking costume orders right now and have plans to open up an Etsy shop along with some of my other handmade goods. I want my full time job to be hosting craft parties. That would be a dream.

I got my little sister to model one of the shirts that I made (I just had to include a picture of our dog Tanner). Isn't she cute? She loves tetherball, so my parents put the tetherball pole in the place where umbrellas are suppose to go, very clever. Now we can play tetherball all the time, except that I am terrible at it.
