The Night I was a Karaoke Queen

Blouse: Langford Market, Skirt: Nasty Gal, Heels: Zara

When I ordered this skirt, I told Chris that the day it came in he would have to take me out that night. I get just a bit excited about new purchases and I couldn't wait to wear it. When it finally came in, we decided to go to our usual bar but the band that was playing that night didn't really spark our interest so we ended up at a new bar. It just so happened to be karaoke night and I got the guts to go up and sing...it must have been the skirt, I just felt great in it. After the first song, the dj kept coming to me asking what song I was going to sing next...all night long. So yeah for the night I was a star lol.

If You Want Something Do It Yourself: Pom Pom Garland

It seems that I'm hooked on making all different kinds of garland. Do you remember the tassel one I shared not too long ago? Anyway I'm getting pretty excited about Valentine's Day and decided to do one in the expected color scheme. This one was really simple and is one of those that is easy to do while watching your favorite show. There's not too much work that goes into it but the end result looks great.

Supplies

Pom Poms

Needle

Thread

The Steps

1. String thread through the eye of the needle and make a knot. 

2. Push needle through pom pom.

3. Make a pattern with your pom poms. I found it easier to let the pom poms collect together and gradually move them down the thread.

4. Separate each pom pom so that you have about half an inch between each.

5. Make a small loop on each end of the garland and hang.

Dressed Up

Dress worn as top: Target, Skirt: Thrifted, Belt: Heels: Zara

I haven't worn this skirt in awhile, which is hard to believe...it used to be my favorite. I got this belt sometime before Christmas and decided it was the perfect thing to play dress up with. I wore this for a night out to have a few drinks with the boyfriend Friday night. The rest of the weekend was spent hanging out with family over good food (thanks to the boyfriend, I'm so lucky to have a guy that loves to cook).
