My First Maxi

So all summer I've been eyeing the maxi dresses and wishing I had one...I was just to scared to try the spaghetti strap low cut ones that are so out of my comfort zone....but when I found this amazing one at a thrift store for $2.99 there was no way I could say no. I absolutely luv it...yay!

.

Here's what I wore:

Maxi Dress-$2.99 at Salvation Army

Sandals-$7.99 (Gifted from gma)

Bracelet-50cents at Claires

Heart necklace-gifted from bf

.

I am luving this look for summer and wanna try and find another maxi like this before summer ends :) ~Kendra~

Some DIY Action

I went to Dollar Tree and picked up a few plain tees for $1 each and I decided to make an exposed zipper tee. I forgot to pickup a zipper, but luckily my mom had one she let me have, so I put it to use. For some extra dazzle I cut off the embroidery on a vintage shirt I got at a garage sale for 10cents. So this whole shirt costs less than $2.
.
Supplies:
Tshirt, marker, hot glue, glue gun, scissors, zipper and embroidery or patch to add design
.
How To:
Firts lay the zipper on top on the tee and draw a little mark where the end of the zipper goes.
Next cut a stright ling down the front of the tee to the end of the zipper.
Then hot glue the zipper onto the tee.
Next glue on embelishments how ever you'd like.
Thats it...now u have a cute exposed zipper tee :)

Another DIY project I recently did was taking a plain tote from drab to fab. All you need is a plain tote and some bedazzle jewels or stud, which u can get in a package at walmart. You dont have to buy the Bedazzler machine...u dont really need it.
.
Supplies:
tote bag, studs or gems and something to bend the brads down (I used old scissors)
.
How to:
Its' really easy. Just place the studs in any design you want and fold down the brads on the back and you have a stylish new tote :) Just look at the before and after pics

I've been away so long!

Sorry I have been absent so much this summer....it has just been crazy!! First I had my sales internship and when that ended I went on several trips to the lake with my boyfriend, went home for my dads 5oth bday and went home again when my dad broke his foot. This week I am finishing up finals for my summer classes...interviewing for jobs and moving into a new apartment. Oh and I've been doing several DIY projects I can't wait to show you all. So I just wanted to remind you that I'm still here and I will be back to regular blogging very soon!!! :) ~Kendra~
