I'm a little sad the weekend is over because my honey and I took a little road trip to a bed & breakfast and it was such a nice moment of decompression from the hustle and bustle of the workweek. A leisurely bike ride in the afternoon that had me feeling care-free, a seafood dinner of crab and shrimp complete with hush puppies and $4 alcoholic drinks and a huge king-size bed that felt like sleeping on an island. Just what the doctor ordered.
In my previous post, I mentioned how I'm all about the printed jeans these days. Well, my first pair arrived in the mail last week and made their debut this weekend. These tribal print jeans from ASOS are definitely something different and I think I like it. A little funky, but not too outrageous. I'm already plotting my next denim purchase.
What do you guys think of my necklace??? So, I saw this neon necklace in a magazine and I couldn't find it anywhere (that's what happens when I get a little ahead of the store's shipments), but it got me thinking that I could probably make it myself. After scoping some DIYs on a few blogs and finding a suitable necklace to mess up if necessary, I grabbed a bottle of polish and created this bright little sparkly number around my neck. I'm so excited because I found more necklaces this weekend to give it another go. Yes to extra money in my pocket and a custom necklace!!
Have you ever attempted a clothing or accessory DIY? Was it a success or not?
Outfit Details:
Tribal print jeans- ASOS (available here in limited sizes, similar vibe in this pair here)
Brown boots- Madewell (available here on sale)
Crystal neon necklace- Forever 21 with DIY paint job (necklace available here, similar neon necklace here and here)
Burgundy fedora- Albertus Swanepoel for J. Crew (similar here)
yaaaaaay! the necklace looks beautiful. Great job! Yours looks better than mine because your rhinestones are so big. I am gonna have to do another one.
ReplyDeleteLove the jeans, too!
You did a great job with the necklace. I just got one of the new neon necklaces from Ann Taylor, I know my friend Sara was waiting and waiting for that piece to be released and when it did and I saw it, I fell in love.
ReplyDeleteSara's necklace was the exact one I was coveting from the magazine. You guys have a fabulous necklace on your hands. I attempted another DIY necklace in a color closer to that necklace so I hope that keeps the urge to buy it at bay.
ReplyDeleteThanks Eboni!! I did another necklace too in a different style. I would actually prefer to try this with a smaller rhinestone necklace, but I agree that the bigger ones are easier to work with.
ReplyDeleteGreat job with the necklace. What nail polish did you use? I think that would be a fun color for a mani.
ReplyDeleteThe tribal printed jeans ensemble turned out nicely!
ReplyDeleteAwesome job on the necklace! I love a good DIY!
ReplyDeleteThank you!! This is a diy that I managed to have end up looking wearable. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm trying to think of other ways to wear them. I think they are calling for some color up top.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I used a bright green color from the store ICING. It's called lime martini.
ReplyDeleteI'm really into printed jeans right now so I'm loving your jeans and yup, that neon necklace is great! I need one :)
