Getting Crafty [Spring Break Edition!]

Because this spring break has had many unforeseen circumstances, my long list of things I wanted to do while home only has a few things crossed off. But you know me; I ALWAYS make time to go to the craft store a time or two. Here is what I've been working on...

BFF-1
These are my finished flower pins. I was at Michael's craft store the other day and was reminded of Kendi's simple DIY post when I passed all of the fake flowers. I picked the most colorful ones I could find, and I can't wait to debut them with a great spring outfit.

BFF-2
I've been longing for more color in my wardrobe. Color is huge for spring/summer. I can't afford a whole bunch of new clothes, so accessories are the way to go. I've been on the hunt for colorful belts and jewelry, but I've been having a hard time finding jewelry that matches what I have in mind while staying on budget. What's a girl to do when this happens? Make your own! Can't wait to show you the finished product!

BFF-3
During my closet cleanout, I came across this old Forever 21 dress in my closet. It's empire-waisted and very "babydoll" looking, and the dress is a little short. I haven't worn it in a few summers, so I was thinking about giving it the boot. Then I realized that it would make a great skirt! According to the instructions I've found online, it should be pretty easy to convert, but I'm not a very skilled seamstress. I'll probably be enlisting Mom's help for this one! Before and after shots will be coming your way once this project gets underway!

Day 12- Wishing It Was Saturday

Is anyone else ready for this week to be over? It's only Tuesday, but I wish it was Saturday. This week is my last week of the quarter before finals, and my schedule is crazy crammed with stuff. I'm dreaming of two weeks from now, when I will be back in Cincinnati enjoying Christmas music, hot chocolate, and lots of free time for crafty DIYs.

day 12
What I'm wearing: Uniqlo wrap sweater, Old Navy jeans, J.Crew flats, Chicos flower pin (gifted), Forever 21 pearl earrings

It's been raining all day, I'm tired, and my outfit is pretty simple, so I'm a little short on words today. Let's just hope the weather clears up soon and the rest of this week flies by!
