♥ diy: safety first

Stolen Girlfriends Club via Pixie Market

I found this unbelievably amazing dress on Fashiontoast's blog and for the price the mini dress was going for, there was no way I was going to pay for it. I just had to make it! it was clearly very easy and simple to make. a mini dress, scissors, and safety pins are all you need. unfortunately, I didn't have a white mini dress but I did have a perfect black one (even thou I wish it was white) but the black worked out perfectly! my friend Ema helped me out with other DIY stuff while I made this simple dress. since she's an incredible fashion designer (I can't wait to show you her designs) she hemmed a long American Apparel skirt that I never wear (because of the long length) and put a zipper in the middle. I love it!!! it's perfect. my wardrobe is definitely going to be complete with all these zippers in all of my basic clothing! I'm obsessed. zippers are definitely my new obsession.

don't mind my hideousness and amount of Hello Kitty pinky pink blush I used in the photos. I definitely have been craving a look and this is not the look I want. I will be experimenting with my hair, hair color, and make up for the next million months until I get something I really like. ever since this ONE haircut, everything went out of balance. I miss my bob a lot. It was perfect for my little oval-shaped face :( now all I could do is sit and watch myself in the awkward stages of hair growth, or whatever.

love, dayna
