Warm and Aztec!

What I Wore Today

Hi Guys! 

I haven't worn this Aztec Poncho for ages! 

So with the wintery weather approaching I decided to get it back out to play!

I bought it from Primark for about a tenner a few weeks ago, and I love it!

It just caught my eye, its not something I would normally pick but the pretty patterns drew me to it!

So today I teamed it with my old black dress that is ancient and from warehouse, and a pair of black leggings

I like how it has tassles on the bottom of it too,  I love tassles! 

I wasnt sure which way to wear it, or if mine had been manufactored slightly wrong as this way of wearing appears to be the correct way to show the pattern properly, however there is a seam all the way down the back and the tickets are visible, but I don't like wearing it the other way it doesnt feel right

The heart necklace is from dorothy perkins sale, for £2 and the armour ring is from Primark for £1

I also wore my galaxy nails! which I will do a tutorial for tommorow if you would like!!

The red lip stain is from the Sleek Pout Paint range, and is in shade pin up, 

see my first post about these paints here

Enjoy your Sunday ladies!

WIWT: Floral Playsuit

I bought this half playsuit today from primark for £12

It looks really great either with the arms up or down, however I did find the arms to be very long at first

I was on a ten minute primark curfew by the boy who had had enough so didnt try it on in the shop. I think if I did i'd of got the next size up to give a bit more room but it fits ok..

I paired it with this necklace that I have had so long that I have forgotten where it comes from. Always get compliments about it though.

For my legs the shorts are short shorts, so I popped some black tights on with my trusty black shoe boots.

This is the back I criss crossed the arms over but you can have them anyway you like as they are removable..

The only thing that did annoy me was the zip!!

I can't get out of the damn thing!!!

PRIMARK PLEASE MAKE YOUR ZIPS BETTER!!

Other than that 4*'s

Oh and I bought the mustard coloured vest top today too for £2

My first DIY!

After stumbling upon a fantastic blog by a girl called Heather Find her Here!

http://effiesmakeupbox.blogspot.com/

I decided I was going to get the sewing kit out and try a few of my own customisations!

So off I went to the charity shop in my home town, and found this little number...

The pattern on it was what caught my eye, as I was looking for something unusual.

Anyway I got my scissors and sewing kit out, and set about to work!

First I chopped the arms off, then to tidy them up I hand stitched (as I don't own a sewing machine) around the edge of the sleeves.

Then to add a bit of extra "me-ness" to the shirt, i decided to stitch some new buttons onto the shirt.

These ones looked booooring!

So I replaced with these ones!

Much better...

Overall the end product looks like this!

voila!

Shirt: £2.99 - age concern

Shorts: £9 - Primark

Buttons: 12p each - local haberdashery store

Hope you like it!
