Some looks for less
Anyone that has known me for some time, knows I love, as much as I hate to use the word, "fashion". It gets over used and in my opinion most people that claim to love it, really don't have a sense for it. Most hard core fashionista's however would most likely argue that I am not a true representation of the term, but I am ok with that, I prefer landing somewhere in the middle. Most days you can catch me at the park in my salt water sandals and if you are lucky, some skinny jeans, but when I feel up to it, and I know I won't get covered in dirt or food, I try to keep up with most budding trends.
I am just like any other girl on the subway reading her US weekly, a friend told me to pronounce it U.S. Weekly so I sound smarter, however I look at it just for the celebrity fashion. I love the quirky ways they put things together, of course they being their stylists they pay thousands of dollars for. I of course then try to find my own ways to put some of the looks together, sometimes splurging for the real thing (handbags, denim,& marc jacobs), or now making my own similar pieces.
These are a few things I knew would be simple to make but very expensive to buy.
My $20 version, in grey. When I saw it last fall, I knew I had to make it even though I hadn't made anything for myself in over 10 years and I didn't have a pattern for it.
Prada's spring silk turban
My $2 version, good enough for me.
Next up, this black vest. Kinda wished I kept my one from middle school.
I also waste time browsing some good fashion sites for inspiration. I usually begin my day here then go here then here and finish up here.

I remember that vest. I never would've thought it'd be back but seeing it on Heidi (I say that like we are good friends) makes me think, yeah she totally should've kept it. I see all the trends and the like and I just think, golly, they sure look cool. And then I put on my sneakers. Same same same.
