Good Luck Came My Way

Well the reason I haven't posted in a few days is because I lost my camera. After searching everywhere with no luck I decided to ask the people at the computer lab where I usually blog on campus if they had a lost and found....they did...they opened the drawer and there was my camera...Yay!!! But they didn't see my camera cord, so until I get paid...no camera cord. But no worries...I have some old pics I haven't posted and I will figure out some fun things I can do till then :) So keep checkin back :) ~Kendra~

I Got The Job!!!!

My interview went great yesterday...I only went to the first interview, because they offered me the job and I accepted...woohoo!!!!! I am so excited. So I am an entry level Public Relations and Marketing Rep. There seem to be so many great oppourtunities at the company and I can't wait to start work on Tuesday!!! :) So for now I am enjoying my last few days of not working and thinking about how I can make my job outfits more fun. As an entry level rep I have to wear a white polo and khakis. I will get a grey polo with the logo on it soon. I also have to wear comfy shoes, because I will be on my feet most of the day! Sounds like a fun challenge to me :) I personally don't like khakis...I had to go purchase some before the second interview...and a I had to get a white polo too...lol Anyways, here are some ideas:

DIY Embelished Neckline How To

These embelished necklines are oh so simple...you don't need to sew or anything!! I am a firm believer in good old fashioned hot glue! Anyways on to the How-To's...I am going to list materials and steps to create each induvidual top. I am so glad you all liked them and let me know if you try it out yourself :)
Materials:
Plain tee, ricrac of a contrasting color, scissors and hot glue
.
Directions:
Simply start by measuring the neckline with your ric rac and then cut it about an inch to long. Then glue down the ends of your ric rac, so they don't fray. Then glue one strand right against the neckline of the tee. Then move about an inch away from that and measure another piece of ric rac and glu down the ends. Then glue that pice to the shirt. It's simple but adds alot of interest to a plain tee!

I did these next two tops in the same way!
Materials:
hot glue, scissors, old tanktops with embelished necklines, plain tee
Directions:
First take your old tanktop and cute around the embelishment. Then decide where you want to place it on your tee. Then simply hot glue it on.
.

Materials:
plain tank top, old skirt, scissors and hot glue
Directions:
Simply cuts the hem off of an old skirt allow for at least 3 inches. Then cut it to fit around the front of the tank. Hot glue one piece on around the neckline of the tank. Then place the second piece about an inch away from the neckline, so it creates a layered effect.

Materials:
Tanktop, Gemmagic
Directions:
Lay your tank top on the flor and then place the gems in a fun pattern and then bend back the prongs to keep them in place. (I suggest everyone get a Gemmagic...they have them at walmart and they are amazing, but I just use the hand tool...I don't use the machine)

I hope all of these made sense, if not send an email or comment my way! :) ~Kendra~
