Bed Sheets

This will be short but I wanted to show you guys what I made!!

I made this skirt last night in about 3 hours. I am pretty sure that the fabric I used was bed sheets. I am so proud of this. I didn't have to take anything apart. This is the first time I didn't make a mistake that I had to re-due!! I love this so much!! I just wanted to show you guys because I really wish I could climb up a mountain right now and show everyone!! 

I am in a great mood and I hope you are too and you are having an incredible day!!

Fluorescent Adolescent

Last night I got this new book from the book store called Trinkets by Kristen Smith. It was awesome I came home and started reading it right away. I finished it this morning when I woke up. It is such a good book and it's definitely something new to read. This book isn't the same story as most other books are. I suggest you read it if you haven't already. I bought mine for $18 but I bet you could find it online a little cheaper. Maybe even at your library.

I sat out by the pool this morning to get that necessary vitamin D in me. When I came home and took a shower I noticed that where my stomach folds when I sit there was a paler line there. Great. I look like a striped maniac. It reminds of this book I read in elementary school. The main character was sick and started changing colors and had strips and polk-a-dots. I'll let you guys know if i happen to get to that point.

Lets see. I haven't done very much today. I went to Walmart to get some stuff to clean my car with because I was bored of sitting. I even vacuumed it! Talk about productive!! While I was cleaning my car I found some treasures under my seat. They consist of lip gloss, lip stick, some tubes of glitter, a Hershey's kiss, and a notebook. FYI I did NOT eat that Hershey's kiss. Who knows how old that is. I was extremely happy to find that lip gloss. It's the kind that makes your lip get all tingley and cool.

My friend got the lip gloss for me at Sephora for my birthday last year.

This is a new skirt I got at the DAV. I am pretty sure I payed like $5 for it. I love it to death.

I buttons down the middle. I like how long it is. I really like an old school school goer. Hahaa school goer. I usually wear a blue and white striped shirt with it but I wanted to show the skirt off so I wore a plain one this time.

I hope you guys are having fun doing whatever you guys do.

This is probably the best music video I had seen! 

Cooled and Bejeweled!

Well to start this post off... IT'S SO FREAKING HOT OUTSIDE!!!!! I go out there and get burned by the air and immediately run back inside the house. Jeez the sun is so POWERFUL!! We need rain.

I love the rain. I think it is so pretty I like sitting and listening to it while reading a book or hangout learning things on the computer. But I only like the storms that make the sky turn black in the middle of the day and are super loud.

I have some sad and happy news to share with you. Let's go with the sad news first: Two years ago I had knee surgery. I had completely torn my ACL playing soccer. I got it repaired and got checked out of rehab early. I was doing very well recovering. This last week I seem to have hurt it again and I have been given a list of things I can not do by my doctor. It starts out: No walking for a long time and no dancing, jumping, skipping, or hopping. I LOVE TO DO ALL THESE THINGS!!

The good news: I have to keep it elevated and compressed to bring down the swelling. This office desk is a great place for elevating so I will probably be writing a whole lot to keep myself from boredom.

See that weird bump? Yeah... That is where my bone is in my leg and its all swollen on top of it. It is red and my scar looks like it's being stretched. If it's possible this could pop. It probably will. It looks so gross and hurts really bad. I look like an alien. 

Despited my knee hurting I took some pictures for you guys. I didn't wear this outfit out. I plan to as soon as possible because I LOOOVE it!! 

The socks are actually knee high tights that I made. I bejeweled them. I think that they look better all scrunched down. If I pull them up my legs look like tree trunks. And that doesn't look good.

I like how they are the ones put in the spotlight because everything else is black. I love this outfit.

This was a short little post. I hope you all had an absolute spiffy Monday!

Sit Down Son, We Need To Discuss Something

Usually when your Mother/Father says this to you, you quickly turn around and run for your life in the other direction. Well BE COOL my little children. You're not in trouble and this isn't scary. So stay where you are and keep reading.

This "thing" that I feel needs to be discussed pronto is about "normal" "average" people and their clothing.

I bet you have noticed in the movies and TV shows and even on the streets what the famous ones of us are wearing. But have you ever noticed how the rarely, if not, never wear that piece of clothing again? Some of these shows are "reality" TV shows. THAT IS  NOT REALISTIC!

I know people that say "Oh, I wish I could wear a new outfit everyday!". What is the fun in that? I don't know about you, but when I purchase something I love to death I want to wear it as much as I possibly can. In a way I understand the "coolness" of it but that is such a waist of fabric and money. Think about it. If I lived to be 92 years old exactly I would have lived 33,580 days. if every outfit was between $100-$200 (this includes shoes, jewelry, socks, etc.) that would be $5,037,000 by the time I died. I personally can't afford to spend multiple million dollars to by clothing that will only be worn on my human body one time. I HAVE TO EAT TOO!!

But I know a trick that I live by to make it seem as if my closet is as full as space. When you wear something, put into memory when and how you wore it. Make sure you don't wear that piece of clothing for about 3 weeks before you wear t again and try to pair it with something else. Keep wearing it with different things and then you can start the cycle all over again. When a clothing item is worn with something else it makes it look like it is a completely different item. This makes it look like your closet is never ending.

I guess this includes my informative rant for the day.

I'm changing it up. It's a thing to tuck your shirt into your skirt. Why not tuck your skirt into your shirt for a change?

I think this is different and cute. Now you don't have to worry about your shirt slipping out of your skirt if you sit down or slightly bend over. PROBLEM SOLVED!

I also now have a Twitter account. My username is Makeewah. Feel free to follow. Or not. 

Have a fantastic day!
