Ch-ch-ch-changes

I FINALLY figured out how to make a 3 column blog which has made me very happy, and I'm working on other changes to make it more exciting! Do you like the new banner? I think I like it a lot :)

The Craft Sale and Pink Panther are over, and I'm moving into the basement in a few weeks which I am very excited about!

This post is kinda all over the place, but here's a picture from a little photo shoot I took in my yard this week.



This week I've got lots going on, but it should all be very exciting! I will definitely have pictures to share AND hopefully an etsy update!!!

Halloween

This...is my lady Gaga costume.

I'm not gonna lie, I love this costume. It was fun to make and even more fun to wear! And I'm also going to brag a little about the construction of this outfit.

Firstly, the wig was 36" inches long, had a middle part and was all kinky and not very straight at all. I cut off half of the hair, glued some on for the bangs, and glued the rest onto the head to fill in bald-ish spots (cheap wigs like these do not come with enough hair). I also straightened it all with my hair straitener.

Secondly, yes, that skirt is made of bubble wrap. I sewed bubble wrap onto a piece of elastic and voila, bubble wrap mini skirt!

Lastly, the bow is made of bubble wrap and the shoulders are also stuffed with bubble wrap!

This outfit won me Most Creative Costume at the party I was at!

Outfit details:
Shoes: Walmart
Leg Warmers: Claire's
Tights: American Apparel
Bubble Wrap Skirt: I made it
Body Suit: Jazz-ma-tazz
Blazer: Thrifted
Belt: Thrifted
Wig: Walmart

I'm excited for both, but I'm also excited for them not to be taking up most of my free time.

Hope everyone has a wonderful week!
