New hat, new creation

My beautiful hat that I tried all day yesterday to start making, but the ear flaps kept on getting messed up... I finally got it right this morning... early this morning (like one o' clock this morning, mhmm) and I finished it tonight. I know you probably can't see it, but there are braided tassels coming down from the ear flaps. And I know for sure that you cannot see the black pom pom on top. But it seriously is a freaking awesome pom pom.

Oh, and by the way, I'm really excited to wear this hat with another creation I'm making. Not going to say anything, except that it's coming from this shirt:

And another by the way... these pictures were taken while I was watching Dancing with the Stars, thus the brightly lit TV behind me. Woohoo! Jennifer and Derek! I would've preferred Brandy and Maks in the finals up there with them, maybe even beating them... but I'm happy with them winning! Derek Hough is hawt.

No heels.

As I said in yesterdays post, I didn't exactly trust myself wearing my new heels to school, so I brought along my trust Mickey Mouse Flats that I bought at D-land two years ago, Mickey Mouse flats that you can see me paint here. And yeah, I unfortunately actually did have to change. But first of all, as I was walking down the hall, I passed by my physics teacher who is super conservative, but she for some reason likes me. You get that? Me... and she smiled at me, like always. I kind of smiled back as I was walking, and she was all, like, "Oh, whoa," looking down at my feet. It felt like an insult. =( Scary. Anyway, I went to Spanish club at lunch, and my friend said we could each have three of his M&M cookies. And I had three, and had a stomach ache afterwards, and I could barely walk in my flats, let alone in heels. So I stuck with my flats for the rest of the day...
Except, it started to rain, and I threw on a raincoat because my 'rents and I were off to SF...
And I put converses on, instead of flats that would expose my feet to the water falling from the sky.

Transformation

Before: yeah, yeah, I know, just another ugly t-shirt that's too big for you. And it says something about 1993 on it? The year I was born in? Ugh. It looks like I'm wearing a pajama shirt. =PAfter: I cinched it in a bit and lowered the neckline a bit, and I drew a design on it.

And I sewed some beads on, too.

And that is where the weird design used to be... I cut it out and sewed it back together.

And these are the shoes I will wear with it... I haven't worn this outfit, yet... I'm wearing it tomorrow, so I still haven't experienced wearing these heels to school. I just got them last night from my neighbor. She was so nice to give them to me, because she bought them and didn't want them anymore. This is a good thing from being neighbors with rich people =)
And today in drama, my friend drew hearts on my hand with pink pen (sorry, kind of hard to see.) Anyway, I like how the hearts match my nails. =)

Fashion Lusts.

Today I wore quite a few pieces of clothing that I have lusted over one time or another. Most of them are relatively recent. But let us go on, shall we? Oh, gosh, I feel like a creepy teacher when I say that...

First we have my I Heart Oz t-shirt that I got when I went to see Wicked. Wicked ftw! And, of course, my frog sweatshirt. Ya'll know the story.
And my jean jacket. And I especially got a lot of compliments on it today. We were playing a circle game in drama where we had to go into the center of the circle. You were supposed to not laugh. Of course, I laughed, and when people told me I was out, some other said "No, it's all right, because she has a cool jacket." And as I walked back to the outside of the circle, they asked if I made it myself... Yes, ya'll, yes I did.
Skinny khakis. I made these from some old khakis I already had that had a flair.
Pink converses! I spent all summer searching for pink shoes and stores like Ross and Marshalls and TJ Maxx... and I finally found these at Ross. I love pink!
Ah, and si. I have fallen for the silly band trend.

Murals

music note shirt with my "I'm a Gleek" sweatshirt... I thought they paired pretty nicely.

This outfit was worn on a Spanish field trip to the Mission District in San Francisco. We passed by Mission Dolores, but we spent the majority of the day looking at inspiring murals. Here are some of the favorite pictures that I took... I will post sketches inspired by these pictures soon.

Skinny Jeans.

I've been unhealthily obsessed with sewing lately... so much that I've been slacking on schoolwork and NaNoWriMo. I changed some flared jeans into skinny jeans, which I admit to preferring. When I sew things, though, I need to remember to take a before picture, too. Am I right? Am I right?

Polka dots...

Denim skirt, Polka Dot tights

Denim Jacket VIDEO!

My new video about the denim jacket I made! Which outfit do you think I should wear tomorrow?
