Really hot hot summer to actually want me to do anything but just laze around the house...quick posts of some of my old t-shirts that I painted 5-6 years back...the rose with the butterfly was my favorite then.

So Crazy Is This...

...DIY!!!

Had this piece of knit fabric in my shelf for a year so finally decided to explore more with the shreds (I confess I got obsessed with shreds since the last experience), and since I don't own a sewing machine I had to stitch it all with my hands to make a snug fit...it was torturous!!! Then I ended up dabbing paints on it using the bottom of a candle and a chopstick...that was fun!!! I love how the three strips on the shoulder came out with the tassels. Well, I still have to think up what would go with it. Any suggestions???

Ta-Dah...And All Things Splendid!!!

A Bright Sunny Day For Work!!!

Of course, I didn't go to work dressed like this!!!

tee shirt: had painted it in school...can't believe my sister still had it with her for more than 10 years...
skirt: off-shoulder top that I cropped into a skirt. Voila!!!
vest: recent purchase off flea market
accessories: from everywhere...just can't get enough of them...
