DIYs and Recent Buys

 Oh fashion, you are expensive but you look so good. What can I do to get the most fashionable trends for the lowest prices...? OH YES! I can make my clothes look how I want them too. This week has sort of been DIY week. I made myself a pair of distresses jeans with a pair I had in my closet.

I took a pair of Miley Cyrus/Max Azria skinny jeans, rolled up a towel and stuffed it into one leg so I wouldn't cut the other side and so bleach wouldn't leak onto the back of the jeans. I snipped them along the leg making long and short horizontal cuts, I also took a cheese greater and rubbed them with it to tear them up a bit more.

I dabbed them with bleach to give them an even more distressed look

and the finished product is perfectly slashed, bleached, and frayed to perfection.

I recently went to Burlington coat factory :D I love that store, I'm still so excited about my fuzzy hat and hot pink booties. Above is the hat and below are the booties. 

Next is another DIY, I recently made another order with ebonyline.com. I LOVE LOVE LOVE them, their shipping is FAST and the products are great. It only took two days to receive my order and the hair I ordered is human hair which was only $7.99 for 10 inches and $13.99 for 12 inches.

Here's everything! I also ordered scissors, weaving thread, a needle, and clips.

 

Here's the hair :D the longer weave said it was the same color on the package as the other hair but it was a bit lighter, but I'm not disappointed.

I've always wanted clip in extensions just for fun, but they were always seriously priced... so I did some looking around and found a tutorial on how to make your own on youtube

.

 I measured the pieces of hair to different sections of my head and cut them. 

The bang piece before I trimmed it, I just thought it looked funny. I almost looked like Cousin It

Here are the bangs all trimmed... with my fuzzy hat again. 

For the longer pieces I did the same thing I did with the bangs, but just put them on the very back of my head near my neck to get a sort of fading two toned look. Someone would think it's scene or ghetto, but I love it to pieces no matter what anyone says. :P

Burlington Coat Factory pieces~ My mom bought me a lovely jacket and aside from the hat and booties, I bought a pair of skinny jeans.

Hat and jacket with long hair :D

I'm STILL waiting for my order from E.L.F... and I'm getting kind of impatient >:C it took a week for them to even to ship the order and it's taking another week to get here. I've ordered from a lot of places but nothing has been this slow. Maybe it's because the products are so cheap... in that case I really should be patient... but still.
