I have a yearly DIY project folder that unfortunately goes untouched at times. These have been in my folder, and in my dreams. I will not let you go, you reachable goals, you!
What is in your DIY folder, turkeys?

The Nightingale & Dogs

Totally preying on the new Givenchy Nightingale...but the Nightingale trolley is just off the...leash! You love it...my puns.....are spectacular dollsies.

Funny thing is....I don't even know if these are dogs?

I am a huge over-doer of the sock with heels trend...excuse me for having cold (and hideous) tootsies. But for-real kitties, this is such a good choice when you are DY-ING to wear your new summer shoes during spring- or any other non-summer season for that matter, & night-time nipply-ness reminds you why you bought these amazing tie dyed socks in the first place. I have the most silly sock collection- but it is by far one of the easiest ways to spruce up a plain outfit.

Like the trend or not, it is functional! Get yours here!

chilly spring night? throw on a rug!

Shaggy Loop Woven Cape- F21, Linen Grid Button-up- Unknown (Has flaws that I adore!), White Milk Beaded Lariat- Vintage, Black High Waisted Corduroy's- Vintage, Black Boots- Vintage unknown Label

This outfit is full of rejected items I've thrifted or found on the clearance rack & now completely LOVE. I nearly lost my mind when I found the pants- the perfect teeny-tiny flare at the bottom, and the length is almost at high-water status...perfection. Well, to me at least. 

The shirt was on clearance and the hem is asymmetrical! This was clearly not on purpose- but it is one of the most beautiful shirts that I own. The buttons are made of shells, and the linen is woven in a grid pattern. Scorrrrrre. 

And the boots, I get so many compliments on, when I thought I'd only get maybe a few puzzled faces and/or coins thrown at me to get some new ones. They are scuffed up and perfectly slouched/folded suede, with an awkwardly obtuse rounded toe. They are my version of a Martin Margiela Tabi Boot knock-off...my all time favorite artistic shoe silhouette ever made.

Clearly all of these yummies are........your loss, my gain.

Faux Nudity

Turtleneck (messily) Cropped Sweater- Stolen from BFF who is unaware until now, Nude Bodysuit- AA, Altered Chiffon Skirt circa 1940's- Vintage Gifted, Sterling Choker worn in some photos- Vintage Monet, Goat Hair Palais Mohawk Pumps- YSL, & Palest legs & skin ever photographed-...cant buy these just anywhere, Ladies.

Wore this the other day when it was unexpectedly breezy- so I decided not to let the noonies hang free out of the sweater and be conservative with the leotard (for warmth, not coverage- lets get this straight.) No, really....just kidding.

The real idea was to play around with shapes and also to put a silly spin on such a classic skirt. Definitely got some shocked looks- so hilarious. 

Any ideas on how to play with the nude leotard a bit more to FREAK people out? That is seriously my idea of a good sartorial choice, mah' friends.

Have fun with your wardrobe... at least once a week, if not more! Life shouldn't be taken so seriously!

Ann Sofie Back DIY!

Gifted Odd scarf piece worn incorrectly(on purpose), High Waisted Denim- F21, Gifted Vintage Sterling Silver Futuristic Collar Breastplate, Blue Disco Christian Louboutin Peep-toe Shoes, Cheapie Purple Gramma Sunnies, DIY Necklace, Gifted Brushed Silver Sheild Bracelet & Misc.Silver Cuffs

Found a piece of hardware lying around which was resurrected into my new favorite accessory...a smaller & more practical version of the Ann Sofie Back Frankenstein necklace (mentioned in a previous post). Wondering how many other pieces of hers I can conjure up from rummaging through junk? Wishful thinking but:

Would be NICEEEEEEEEEEE.

MIUCCIA, EAT YOUR HEART OUT?

This collection will probably never leave the part of my brain which I call my "wishlist lobe", at least while I'm conscious, anyway. It is always there- and has even come to have quite the stubborn personality...screeching every time payday comes around-"EBAY! SEARCH EBAY! MIU MIU S/S 2010! THE COLLAR, SHOES, OR ANYTHING WILL DO! DO IT, DO IT, DO IT!"

So, of course I am trying anything to satisfy this little bugger...and I'm thinking this may do it, for now. There were SO many wonderful DIY's last year which came in every form possible- mostly just to give everyone their own MIU MIU sparrow print fix. So I am going in a different direction.

Whatchu thinkin' noonies?
