Spring has sprung and Summer is around the corner!

Ok guys so the weather here is finally warming a bit, and its got me all excited for summer! But why am I so excited for this summer? Well this summer I predict that the trend will be very "free people" or "West coast" style. I love this style! Its actually become my style! Here's what it looks like:

Boho (bohemian) jewelry is
basically anything with arrows,
rocks, or feathers.

Messy hair styles come in all
shapes and sizes. Small braids
also add to the look. 

- Boho jewelry
- messy hair
- lacey tops
- dresses (my personal favorite)
- sandals

 Loose dresses and lacey tops are so easy and breezey. I love wearing dresses; they make me feel so girly. But maybe you are nervous about wearing a dress. Here is a little secret to help you feel more secure. Wear shorts under your dress! Genius idea I got from my mom when I was little.

I'm thinking up some fun things for this summer so stick close by!
Comment below and tell me what you think of this style.
                   

Here are some pictures of a beautiful lady who did my "New Year's Challenge" . She is very fashionable and her participation is inspiring. I love seeing how my blog is effecting people. Your comments and participation are really exciting for me, so keep it coming!

DIY: Flares to Skinny's in 5 easy steps!!

I have these jeans that are made of a really comfy material but I never wear them because they are flared. So I decided project.
1. Get out a pair of skinny jeans you like the cut of and lay them down on top of the flares.
2. Make sure to line up the inside edge of both pairs of jeans.
3. Pin down the outside seam of the skinny's
The flares should look like this
<--

Make sure your pins are facing this way so that when you are sewing you can pull them out easier. -->
4. Sew as close to the pins as you can. 

On the out side of the first line you sewed,
sew a zig-zag line to make it stronger. 

5. Cut off the excess material on the outside of the seam.

Bu-Bye flared jeans! 

Hello super comfy skinny jeans!!

What do think of my first tutorial?

Winter Love!

So I finished the challenge and was surprised to find how much this challenge helped me! I used to hate trying to get dressed in the winter. I am are either dressed cute 

or warm, never both. But I finally figured it out!    

This was my day 9 outfit: Wear two prints together!

I was going to Baltimore with my friend and knew it was going to be cold so

 I had to do some closet shopping the night before. I came up with

my favorite plaid flannel shirt, and a striped long sleeve. I was excited with the fact

 that I was able to pull off winter socks with my combat boots!

I couldn't believe how comforting the warmth of a hat and scarf could be!

Here is day 7: Winterize a dress!

I actually wore this dress all summer, and now I can wear it in the winter too! 

I added leggings, a little half jacket, and legwarmers.

And this hat I wear almost every day. I love it!

These little slipper-ish shoes are so comfortable.

And yes those are legwarmers! I think a pulled them off pretty well.

I got all my day mixed up, so I didn't get a picture of everything. Sorry.

But I think this was a really good kick start to my 

winter fashion, and I am ready for more!

Do you have pictures of your favorite winter outfit? Or

 pictures of you during the challenge? I would love to put them on my blog!

Jeans and Heels!

Here is my day five outfit: Jeans and Heels! I keep forgetting to get a picture. :P These are some of favorite heels. I read somewhere that beige heels are a wardrobe necessity. I have found that to be amazingly true! They match absolutely everything!

So I know this challenge was unexpected, it even came up too quick for me! If you didn't get to start at day one that is fine. Just do it for fun!

1. Wear a scarf any way you want! It's winter and everyone has scarves, so this should be easy. 
2. Wear something that matches your purses! You might be surprised by how cool this looks.
3. Wear jewelry! And not just one bracelet or necklace, go all out and even layer. Maybe even try a statement necklace!
4. Dress like a character from a TV show or movie. One of my favorites to imitate is Emma Swan from "Once Upon a Time". It's simple yet snazzy!
5. Wear heels with your jeans! it can be boots with heels or sweet pair of actual heels. 
6. Wear a bright color! It doesn't have to be a lot just enough to make your outfit go *POP!*
7. Try winterizing a dress! Wear tights, boots, a cute jacket. You can do it!
8. Wear a cool belt! Big belt, sparkly belt, belt with a big buckle!
9. Wear two different prints together! Floral and polka-dots or plaid and stripes. I haven't never done this one before but I am excited about it! 
10. Good job! Congratulations! You made it all the ten days! Rock jeans and a t-shirt in celebration! But you have to rock it!
