Just adolescents, you and I

Okay sooooo Incubus has always been good, but SERIOUSLY. I am completely infatuated with their new song, Adolescents. Shit!!!! I sing it all day, hum it, and attempt to whistle it (complete failure). It is puuurrfect.. Meow. This outfit is all pretty much DIY and thrifted, so it makes me feel extra ~special~ !!

The black crochet kimono jacket was purchased at a yard sale for a mere $6 ^-^ I was still in complete awe when I asked for its price. What a sublime purchase. The smiley face t shirt is a complete DIY! I made the photo on le Photoshop, cut the shirt, and screened the photo onto the tee! I was so proud of myself since I've absolutely never screened anything before! Except maybe once when I was probably 8 and made matching *BFF 4ever ~ rainbows rock* long sleeve, blue, crew neck for my friend and I for her birthday (whom still remains my BFF 4EVER up thus day!!!) I think I'll be making a few tees like this and put them on Etsy and ma store, but I'm not too sure yet since it's pretty crappy screening (it cracks if you pull on it too hard), but should remain intact if washed by hand. Ehh. The shorts are DIY, leather backpack is thrifted, Docs are vintage, all bracelets are vintage, green necklace is from the Melrose Trading Post, and the bottle necklace is from dis blog that I won through an old giveaway! I seriously wear this necklace at least twice a week, while it's bunched up with a ton of other necklaces in every outfit!

Well, I guess that's all folks.

Have a wonderful day y'all and don't forget to enter my giveaway!! It ends next Sunday so you still have time ;)

Yes, you heard (read?) right!!!!! TWO PEOPLE WILL WIN :) So, if you've been ~blessed~ with terrible luck, do not fret as you will have two opportunities to win! I originally intended to host the giveaway as soon as I hit 150, but I had so many new items to add to the store that it just had to wait.

Fishtails Excite Me

So, I have a store, with clothes.. THAT EXCITE ME!!!!!!!! Yesterday I went to the Melrose trading Post that I mention frequently in my outfit descriptions for the first time in about two months and I had so much fun! I wore the black chiffon fishtail skirt from my store, Miracle Eye, not in the usual way though. I wore it to the side, which led to the seam that would lay on the side of the skirt to lay on the front making me look like a complete idiot.. No but really, it looked so nice to the side. The seam wasn't even noticeable! Well I sure didn't notice it. The vest is another DIY (I am selling the vest I wore in one of my previous posts on Etsy!), I am totally in lust with this baby. I actually had this one up on Etsy for two days, took it down because I couldn't bring myself to selling it. The skull studs are freakin' amazing and the bleach turned out looking so good.. The velvet burnout top was thrifted for $3!!!!!!!! Proud proud thrift. Bracelets and silver Egyptian necklace are vintage, watch is from Nooka, and tea jar necklace is from a giveaway moi won! You da best of da best Isabel! Docs are vintage, socks are from Target, belt is vintage, and uh yep that's about it!
