DIY - Plain Jane Jacket to Ombre Awesomeness

I used to wear this jacket from time to time but I never felt the love for it. I decided it was time to try to spice it up before I threw it out as I like the way it fits me. Girls with a large chest can have a difficult time finding jackets that fit well.

I threw it in a bucket of steaming hot water and some navy blue dye.

I stirred it up a few times, made sure it was set up, and left it sit.

Later that night, when I realized it was still in the dye, I took it out, rinsed it good, and threw it in the washer.

In an effort to keep the size and shape, I hung the jacket to dry and in the morning, this is what I had.

I wish that it was a little more ombre. It looked a little better before I washed it. There was more of an ombre effect from the dye bleeding up the fabric. It was also a little more striking before washing. The oatmeal color at the top of the jacket was cleaner looking than the blue that is there after it was washed.

These Boot (covers) are made for... Looks - DIY

   Do you like these boots? Want to make something similar?

I started with two different boots (one from each pair worn at the same time no less. I am CRAZY!), a pair of fake leather pants, some elastic, some thread, and my sewing machine.

The boots I started with:

Short Black Booties

Tall black boots with a wear mark

What I ended up with:

Tucked in to create another option.

I put the pants on, measured the height I wanted the faux boots to be, added an extra 1"-2" for a seam allowance, and cut.

I folded the pants down and then over again to create a pocket for the elastic to go through, and sewed it in place (leave a 1" opening to run the elastic through).

I measured the elastic around where I wanted it to be on my leg and made it a little bit smaller (to hold in place).

I ran the elastic through the pocket created for it, and sewed the ends of the elastic together. I then sewed the last opening for the elastic shut.

What I would rather have:

I love the look of foldover boots.. what can I say!

Disco Dancing... Shoes - DIY

Yes... My name is Jenna and I am addicted to shoes. I never have to worry about them fitting over my chest. Or my bottom being too small. (Yes I have no butt and my bottom is too SMALL for things. I think it makes up for my generous extra on top.)

Shoes fit. They just fit... yes they can be narrow or wide and yes they can be the wrong size but it is different then when clothes don't fit.

I saw these shoes from Christian Louboutin.

And of course I wanted them but not the $1400 or something price tag.

So I put a bottle of glitter, some modge podge, an old disco ball, some E6000 and a pair of thrifted Merona shoes to work.

What did I find???

Some sparkly fun shoes. Apparently these are blogger shoes. By that I mean shoes only a blogger can appreciate. Have you noticed that you are willing to wear crazier things since you joined the blogger world? I know that I wear things that I wouldn't have worn before I started reading other fashion blogs. Seeing other people wearing more outrageous things makes it seem more normal for my everyday life.

Interested in shoe DIYs. I saw a fun one over with Sydney over at the rabbit-hearted girl. Check it out here.

DIY - Tuxedo Chain Jeans

A cute & simple DIY would be a pair of tuxedo jeans. Add ribbon to the sides of jeans.

Can you glue chains to the side of jeans to make like these Diesel jeans?

DIY Sneak Peek
