Joann Fabrics and thrift store hauls!

Hey everyone! Here's a big post of the stuff I got basically throughout July.
I think I've been kind of a shopaholic this past month, which isn't a very good thing right now since I'm not making much money! But luckily most of this stuff was cheap, and I liked all of these purchases.

The Joann's stuff:
- I got the blue plaid fabric to make a skort! I def will make a diy post on that.
- I got the brown paisley fabric for a dress I had been planning for weeks before. I was just waiting for when I was going to be in the vicinity of a Joann's since there isn't one near me. I will probably make a post about the dress. I took lots of pictures except toward the end of making it since it has been kind of annoying. I 'finished' it yesterday night, but one side of the collar is messed up, so I'll probably go back n fix that (grr).
- The brown below the paisley is just the lining fabric for the paisley dress.
- Below that are zippers and thread for those projects I mentioned. I got the elastic for a scrunchie I wanted to make with the red fat quarter in the next picture.

The thrift store stuff:
Most of this stuff I'm keeping as is because they fit my fashion and me already.
I bought the blazer and belt for my future cosplay of Bloody Mary from "The Wolf Among Us," aka "Fables."
The two things I bought to change up are the gray collared shirt and the overalls. I really want some overalls, but these giant things were the only thing I saw. I got the pants sewn to my fit, but now they are turning into a pain so I'm avoiding them. I might make a post about what I did to the polo.

The antique store stuff:
I went to an antique store in downtown Plattsburgh in early July. I was already in the area and didn't have much time to look around because I had to get back home soon. I was able to find this cute bag, which I ended up using at my friend's wedding. You can see it in my selfie with my dress at this post!
I recently went back, looking for some rings and anything else that caught my eye. I found some cute rings and a matching floral shirt and short set. Pretty good finds!

Hope you all enjoyed! Maybe it will also give you all inspiration to check out your local thrift and antique stores :)

Thanks for reading, or just looking.

Weekly Inspo: DROPTOKYO

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I just recently found this website, DROPTOKYO.com, and I am in love. I literally got lost in this website looking at all of the outfits. So many caught my eye, as you can see haha. 

I've mentioned in previous posts that I really like Japanese fashion and tokyofashion.com, and this website just adds to my love for Japanese fashion. I feel like people are more at ease to express themselves fully through clothing without worrying about rude comments or weird looks. People celebrate fashion that isn't the norm. 

I find a lot of good ideas and inspiration through Japanese fashion. The photos I liked on DROPTOKYO.com made me wish for fall so I could layer clothes again haha (not that the heat in my room wasn't already making me wish for that).

 It's also inspiring me to try different prints together. One person whose looks I really liked was Mappy. She's in a picture I included. Her fashion is like everything I aspire to achieve and she's only 13 years old. Damn.

For music, I've decided to add one of my favorite songs from my favorite anime, FLCL. 

Hope you all enjoyed this inspo post! Thanks for reading, or just looking.

Weekly Inspo

Hey, everyone! How're u guys?

This week's inspo is a little late. I've been busy studying for the foreign service officer test. Wasn't the best plan to wait a couple of days before the test to study because I don't follow news or politics at all.

Anyway!  I've decided to make a habit of posting inspo posts like every Sunday I think. I see so many cool pictures on Nylon's Facebook and on tumblr that I thought it would be cool to share and compile them. Hopefully, it inspires my small amount of readers too hehe

Maybe in the future I will make a post with all of the links and blogs I follow for fashion inspiration! What do you guys think? Interested? 

I think my tastes are very broad. I love 90s fashion and Japanese fashion in general. I like to include a little bit of everything in these posts. I've really been feeling boyish fashion lately, so I added some! Also I wore a boyish outfit yesterday when I went to Burlington, but it was a little too hot for pants!

On the other hand, I'm really feeling light pinks and am making a silk slip dress currently and slowly. Hopefully, it turns out good. I'm making it to wear at my friends wedding I'm going to in July. All I have right now is the image in my head of how it could look, so I'm hoping it works out! Fingers crossed I guess hehe. Well, not while sewing! Also planning on making a tulle maxi to put over it. Will definitely post a DIY for it once I'm done. Got lots of work to do!

Also, the t-shirt rompers here could be a super easy DIY!

Haven't done an inspiration post in a while. This one's a little different from the last one. 

I usually get my inspiration from the few websites I go on on a daily basis. On Facebook, I follow Nylon Mag, Lookbook, and Tokyo Fashion. All post many pictures that inspire me to make cool outfits of my own. I'm really into Japanese fashion and Tokyo Fashion is my go-to website for inspiration in that regard. 

I tried to get in the habit of saving a picture I see on Facebook or tumblr that I find inspiration in. You can also keep track of trends and DIY ideas that way. 

I hope you guys liked this post and found inspiration of your own in it! :)
