A Few Of My Favorite Things (Deja Vu)

Good evening! I've been super busy with schoolwork and I apologize for not updating my blog much, but I've gotta get my grades up or my parents will kill me. :D

Right about this time of year is when I get what I call summer-sick, where I basically listen to beachy songs and become very nostalgic of past summer breaks (I also begin building my ultimate feelgood summer playlist, but that's a post unto itself). So this night I though I would put up another post about my favorite fashion-y things, however this post is a bit different. Instead of having trends that I've noticed and fell in love with, I'm going to post about a few key articles  of clothing that I want to (or am going to) add to my wardrobe before summer comes. So without further ado, my summer wardrobe plan!

First up: a denim American flag vest. I'm not sure why I love these so much - its just for some reason they seem so edgy and patriotic at the same time (especially when worn right). I've found a couple really good tutorials on the internet for painting denim jackets/ vests, so I figure I'll jun down to my local thrift store, pick up a beat up denim jacket and paint away! Lets hope it all goes well...

Second: Fringe Tees and shawls. I gotta say, I am absolutely crazy about fringe right now. I catches movement and breezes so nicely its just amazing; plus, it makes anyone look twice as good when they're dancing (which is a plus when you dance as badly as I do). I've already made a fringed vest out of a free shirt that came in the mail - pics later. Long story short, i'm going to be taking my scissors to a lot of tees in my wardrobe this season.
 Ps, The picture on the right is the Boss Silk Kimono from Nasty Gal clothing - a whopping $148 purchase, which is out of my price range, but definitely something I would be willing to splurge on if I had the money. For now I guess I'll just search the consignment stores and hope for the best!

Last: Navajo print. I can usually get away with DIY projects for much of what I want, but this is definitely going to be something i'm going to have to invest in. Navajo print is very summery to me - something about the patterns just hooks me and wont let me go. To me it really conveys the heat of the desert, and its' refreshingly warm and muted colors are nice in a season where magazines and fashion sites really push bright, saturated colors. I can't wait to go shopping for some nice statement pieces like this.


Well, i'm pretty tired now, so i'm going to put the computer down now and chill to some Red Hot Chili Peppers before I go to sleep. Hope you enjoyed the read  - now get some sleep!
