Definitely contemplating adding this pretty eyelet trim to it.
An off-topic picture (I seem to be including at least one or two to each post!) My boyfriend's aunt made this for me as a Christmas present last year, it's very sweet and pretty.

Reconstruction
Hi there! I've been trying to sew a bit more lately, but I don't have very good sewing skills! After tampering with the tension on my boyfriend's mom's Singer I've got a working, but very temperamental machine. I'm taking a "plunge in" approach to sewing, so I started out with a top that I hadn't ever worn out (my mom bought it for me, and it wasn't really my style.) I was inspired by an Anthropologie shirt. I still need to finish a lot, I don't quite know if I want to add pockets but I think I will. It still needs to be taken in and I have to make some... binding? I think that's what it's called. Oh man, I am seriously in over my head.

Midnight blogging
Hello again!
I took school off today because I had a rough night, and I've been feeling a bit sick. I decided to cheer myself up with some "virtual window shopping," as in looking through catalogs from stores I won't be able to buy from (as long as I'm an unemployed/freelancing college student!) I was a SLAVE TO MY SEWING MACHINE today. I'm a horrible sewer, and I couldn't sew a proper tube or ruffle if you asked me to! Despite all this, I went ahead and reconstructed the sleeves on a cardi I absolutely love. I haven't been courageous enough to wear due to big sleeves that look like massive "heybabies."

Moving on, The sleeves are ultra cute, but the cardigan is still a bit oversized. I'm not going to worry about it though, my heart sinks whenever I dare think of getting rid of it in favor of a new one.
I'm definitely on a diy kick this week, as I made a pretty bracelet and some earrings to go with it. The bracelet will have to wait 'til another post, but here's some pictures of my pretty Eiffel tower earrings, my favorite nailpolish (which matches the earrings and bracelet,) my super awesome free Starbuck's lunch, and my haphazardly altered cardigan.
