RandomKitty: My Shoes.




Why am  having a post just about my shoes? Because I love shoes, I mean my first word was 'shoe.' So I thought I'd share some of my shoes will y'all! After I took these I realized that I have two more pairs downstairs and I'm too lazy to go down and get them. :P Anywhere here ya go.


 These shoes I just got handed down to me. I finally fit in them by making a slight adjustment of making another hole for the strap. 

                                              Brown Sandals: Payless. (Not sure how much lol) 




I love these and they were the first pair of oxfords that I owned. I have a hard time finding shoes that fit, but when I put these on and they fit perfectly I knew I had to get them. 

                                                      Black Oxfords: Ross - $20.00

                                                      Union Jack Purse: Thrift store - refashioned by me




So, I've never actually worn these shoes anywhere.... Someday, hopefully soon, I'll be wearing them lol. 

                                              Black Sandals: Thrift store - $0.75

                                              Clutch: Gift from a friend - Isn't it pretty?! 




And these are the second pair of oxfords that I adore. My mother and I went to Payless to get some shoes and with all the discounts we got these were practically free; don't you just love that?! 

                                                         Brown Oxfords: Payless

                                                       Brown Fox Purse: Thrift store - refashioned by me.


And last, but not least, these pretty silver sandals. Got these last year to wear to Mass and they make a nice shoe for a more formal occasion. 

                                                      Silver Sandals: Payless - $20.00

                                                      Floral Purse: Payless - $15.00

                                                      Floral Sunglasses: AAFES - $10.00


Have a great day! Don't worry, Spring is around the corner!

Structured Fox Purse.

 Hi y'all! Wow, I haven't been on here in a loong time... The good news is that I have a project I did to share with you! A little bit ago my mother was going through our things and came across this old camera bag that she bought to use as a purse. Even though this bag was pretty neat it needed something added to it to make it really unique and great. Being that I've been seeing a lot of fox things lately ( which I love) I decided that that was what I was going to add; a fox. So, take a look at what I came up with and tell me what you think! *being that it's hand painted, there are flaws...



The idea of the fox with a scarf was inspired by  Mr. Fox's wife in "Fantastic Mr. Fox."

DIY Union Jack Purse.

Most of the ideas I get come to me after looking at Pinterest. I’ve seen some Union Jack purses and *really* wanted one, but I would never afford one, or just decided to be happy with the purses I have now. Well I went through my closet last week and when I was going through my bags I found this purse that was great, but it lacked some style. Voila! After some Googling, I decided to give it a try. I just happened to have all the supplies I needed, which was awesome. 


I started with the plain man-made leather purse that I got from a thrift store. 


I used a white, blue, and red Acrylic paint. For the white I mixed it with some water due to it being a heavy body paint.
 



First I sanded down the part where I was going to paint, then I wiped it clean with a rag that had some water on it. Next, I wiped it down with some nail polish remover. You will then need to tape off the section you want painted.



This is what the first coat of paint looked like. I did around two three white layers all together. 


The next thing I did was to draw on the design. 


After doing two coats for each color I got this. 

What do you think? Will you try painting your old, boring purse? I know I will do another one!

Have an awesome day!

Two Tone Denim Skirt.

As I sit here watching football with my mom I decided this would be a good time to show you the new skirt I refashioned. I'm actually wearing this skirt right now. Well, I've been wearing it as much as I possibly can this week. hehe. It's definitely one of my favorite denim skirt now. :D So here's what I did.

As I was going through some of the skirts I don't wear anymore earlier this week, I came across these two denim skirts.

As you can see, one skirt has already been refashioned, but sadly it has been torn... 

 See, isn't it sad?? I got the idea to combine both skirts because the already refashioned one would be too short if I chopped the trim off.


 I cut the trim off and then measured where the 2nd skirt fit that circumference.


 Next, I sewed the two pieces together. The nice thing about using the bottom of the skirt was that I didn't have to hem! Yay!



Annnddd THIS this the end product. It turned out to be the perfect length! It took me a little while to get used to the two toned look, but now I really like it! What do you think? Would you wear something like this?

It's *almost* a mermaid style skirt... :D Have an awesome night!

Pinterest Fall Favorites.

I know it's only the middle of August, but I can't help thinking about Fall weather and Fall fashion. So today I'm sharing some of my favorite Fall Pinterest outfits.

I just love this green dress. The buttons and skinny belt are perfect.

Birds and stripes, what's not to love? 

This would be perfect for those Fall days that are chilly, but not enough to wear a sweater. This is would also be perfect of running errands.

One word: Orange! I *Love* this dress.

This lacy green dress is fabulous. The belt is oh so perfect. 

This casual outfit is simple yet lovely. 

If you want to follow me on Pinterest you can do so Here. Have a wonderful day!
