The more the merrier



What I am wearing (outfit 1):
Dress - I made it (see progress here)
Belt - Wetseal (old)
Heels - Santee Alley
Ring - Tiffany & Co (purchase here)
 
What I am wearing (outfit 2):
Blazer - I made it (see progress here and here)
Dress - Stylemint
Boots - Steve Madden (old)
Necklace - H&M (old)
Ring - Tiffany & Co (purchase here)

I apologize for the lack of posts! Thanks for everyone who joined my recent giveaway! The winner has already been chosen and contacted. I just recently finished my last summer quarter and heading into my senior year with two more quarters left on my plate. I have also finished my job interviews as well, so my regularly scheduled posts will come back starting now! Back when I was super active on Instagram, I posted up a lot of my work that I did at school and on my spare time.

Everyone kept suggesting that I model some of my work, which was a difficult thing to do. A lot of the things that I make at school are made for people who are well over 5'8" and have a longer torso than mine. Aside from that, the things I make at school are supposed to fit size 6-8 models. Here I am wearing a dress I made to fit myself and a blazer made to fit someone size 8.

On a side note, I have decided to cancel my subscription to the Mints (Jewelmint/Stylemint). I guess the quality of Jewelmint has kind of dropped recently and Stylemint is no different with the way things are fitting on me (i.e. off grain dress that I am wearing in the second outfit). Regardless, it was a good opportunity and I was glad to have bought things from the company before the quality of their items dropped. How is everyone starting off their fall season?

  9. Love all the pieces! So great! And ahhh your a senior in college and I'm a senior in high school! So scary, but I love blogs like yours that give me inspiration to just keep working for your dreams! And I've also looked at the MINT websites, I've only purchased from shoemint which was pretty good quality, but thanks for the heads up on jewel mint and style mint!
