Another semester and Another themed party! this one was “Mary Kate and Ashley through the years” my friend Joey and I went as the twins in their NYU days.

I wore a navy and zebra floor length dress I got at Carolina Thrift for 5 bucks. It was a little big so I took it in under the arms and raised the waist line. I added the sunglasses, head wrap, scarf and sweater to make it a little more “Mary Kate” 

I definitely plan on wearing this dress for multiple other occasions!

the other weekend we had an Anything But Clothes party, which to the rest of the world probably means one thing but to a bunch of theater kids it means showing off our creativity and innovation any way we can! 

last year I was lame and didn’t make an outfit for the ABC party because I knew I couldn’t outdo the year before (click here to see) but this year I finally had another stroke of genius.

I cut up a large t-shirt (which is technically clothes) into a short halter dress then I spent 3hrs sewing on paper plates that I had cut into sections. I am really pleased with the outcome and it was a big hit at the party! 

I added some paper plate details in my hair and some crazy false lashes and… ta-da!

everyone really went all out, I was so proud of our departments commitment and creativity, they never cease to amaze me :)

Hello all, I am trying to get back in the swing of posting again.
I snapped a quick pic in the rehearsal studio yesterday. Sweater was thrifted and the jumper under was made by me. 
my hair currently is a mix of Rockabilly Blue and Hot Hot Pink.  So speaking of my hair I have gone on a shampoo hiatus. lately my hair has been really flat and stringy and uncooperative in just about every way.  I noticed it gets even worse when it is newly washed so i stopped washing my hair. I still shower and condition and all that but since I have stopped shampooing my hair, it has had much more body. I haven’t had problems with fly-aways and it actually has natural bounce and movement to it while suprisingly remaining smooth without being greasy 
If you haven’t tried not washing your hair, I suggest you do it haha (if anything it saves you on shampoo)

Not Mom Shorts

here are my completed thrift store shorts!

I cut them to the desired length, frayed the edges, and I had to take the side seams in a bit to make them fit just right 

I added a beaded detail up the side because I couldn’t find studs :( and I cut some slits along the pocket to rough them up a bit 

lastly I added a Yin Yang side to the back pocket :) 

and for reference here is what the shorts looked like before I started
