Intergalactic Planetary

The forecast has been pretty doom and gloom but there have been a few surprising days, that sneaky sun isn't ready to leave just yet either I suppose but grandfather fall makes his presence known, bellowing icy winds to bite at my ankles (especially since I'm still insisting on shorts whenever possible!). And leaves, oh the leaves! Fall reminds me about the trees. Really. The trees spend all summer in solid greens painting the summer backdrop perfectly, there but not distracting from summer's fun, come fall however it's their time to burst into flames of vivid colors and dazzle me, 'we're goin' out with a bang!'

I really appreciate the friendships that support me, sounds a bit corny but I'm not even kidding! For example, a recent conversation went like this..."I think I just bought a table cloth but I don't even care I have to wear it, how big, for a scarf, is too big?"and the epic response, "NEVER TOO BIG." Yeah dude, thanks!! Here is said table cloth scarf, tree colored if you will and an excellent thrift I might add. I doubled it over and wrapped it twice, securing the ends with a thrifted broach that might just match too much.

DIY: Stud Shorts!

I finally got around to this DIY! Yay! This is what become of the purple pants from this post and I absolutely love the way they turned out. Since I converted them from pants I was able to customize the length which is really important for me when wearing shorts and I feel really comfortable wearing these at work. I did have a few rips when fraying but other than that the studding actually went pretty smoothly! I used a few varying sizes of pyramid studs and voila!

Late afternoon is my favorite time of day in the front room; the light is so cozy and it creates dancing rainbows, like the ones you can see on my shirt, all across the walls.

I've made a few other pairs of shorts this summer, they may make it up here one of these days!
