Wearing: BDG diy shredded jeans, thrifted Do It Myself tank, Marc by Marc Jacobs cardigan, Converse high tops

I don’t wear my Converse high tops enough, but when I do I fall in love again.  These shoes have been with me through a lot, especially, in high school on a trip to TJ for a weekend.  Poor shoes had to walk/swim through the alcoholic sewage on club floors flooded with cheap drinks and only god knows what.  I gave them a good scrubbing, but they’ve never been the same.  I purchased this Do It Myself tank at the Buffalo Exchange in Westwood.  I was attracted to the knots sewn to the back shoulders, they’re textured like thin mop heads.  I had been eyeing these Siwy jeans for a really long time.  I couldn’t muster up the $197 for a pair of distressed jeans, consequently, I did it myself with a seam ripper and a washing machine.

Wearing: James Perse pocket tank, DIY studded skirt, Bakers shoes

My boyfriend took these photos on his iPhone before we were going out a couple weeks ago.  He also taught me how to use Photoshop recently and pictured above are my photoshop skillz.  It’s rudimentary, but I am really excited to become a professional photo editor.  A funny thought comes to mind when a friend from college once told me she used photoshop to make her arms look skinnier, which were in fact stick skinny already.

I was inspired by many fashion bloggers to stud something up.  I decided to stud the waist band of this Aqua (Bloomies brand) high-waisted skirt.  It took me a lot longer to do than I had originally thought; after a good 4.5 hours, a few pokes from the studs, and really sore thumbs I was finished!  And I love how it turned out!
