Fauxthropologie and Upcoming DIY's

A few weeks ago, I shared with you the Anthropologie jacket I was seriously lusting after. Exhibit A:



Even after trying to convince myself multiple times it was worth the splurge, I just couldn't plunk down that much money on it. But I still needed a jacket to help me transition from summer to fall, before its time to start busting out the winter coats. Exhibit B:


Old Navy jacket, H&M flower pin

While the detailing isn't quite as cute as the Anthropologie one, this jacket was a fraction of the price and will definitely do the job. I attached the leopard-print flower pin to add a girly touch/make it a little fauxthropologie (word stolen from Kendi). I also got a cream flower for days when I'm feeling a little more demure. Adding these extra touches myself has me inspired to do some DIY projects when I get home. First, I want to make some more flower pins. Secondly, I want to make my own version of this sweatshirt, since I couldn't find it in stores:


Forever 21 Pretty Bow Athletic Top

I plan on finding a similar-shaped sweatshirt at Goodwill or Walmart/Target and attaching my own bow. Wouldn't this sweatshirt be perfect for going to class in? Super comfortable, but a step up from a plain hoodie.

Your version of the jacket at a fraction of the cost is very clever on your part. It looks adorable. I agree with you on the cute sweatshirt too.

Fantastic blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring writers?
I'm hoping to start my own blog soon but I'm a little lost on everything.
Would you recommend starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option?
There are so many choices out there that I'm totally confused .. Any tips? Cheers!

Heya! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems with hackers?
My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I
ended up losing several weeks of hard work due to no back up.
Do you have any solutions to protect against hackers?
