Tomorrow, I'll Be Cute

Or at least my outfit will be. Haha :D

I've lost the desire to dress up. You'll usually see me in a simple attire.

On usual days, just a shirt & jeans/skirt/shorts.

On church days, a dress or blouse & skirt.

When I go out, see usual days.

At home, the comfiest clothes ever. Loose shirts & pajamas. Haha :D

And I'm loving neutral colors now. I love wearing black/gray/white/nude.

But tomorrow is different. I want to dress up!!!

Still, my outfit is simple though. I'll just load up on accessories.

And I'll wear a Yellow sweater!!! :D

YELLOW! As in sunny Yellow. Haha :D

Dark wash jeans, Yellow sweater, Purple Bag & Headband, Black belt

 My mom gave me that sweater recently. I blogged about it! Read about it HERE. :)

Blue necklace & watch

 I love cute watches. And when I saw that one, I can't leave it there!!!

Haha. That's how I buy stuff. I wait for that gravitational pull or spark. Funny but true! I don't buy anything if I didn't feel a spark from it. :)

Cocktail ring

 I don't wear rings. I don't like wearing them cause when you shake someone's hand, it hurts when you're wearing rings. But I love the color of this one! :)

 

I love bracelets. And this one is actually my favorite. One time my mom went out and when she got home, she gave this to me. Nobody really knows how to pamper like a mom. :)

 Look at my phone's cover!!! I made that! :D

Maybe I'll blog about it this week :)

So those stuff are all on my table. That's why I'm typing on my bed right now.. Beside my adorable little baby! :) Look how cute he is, all curled up in my comforter. ^_^

 And this is my laptop, not on his usual place. Haha.

Everyone, meet Jack! :) He's from my brother. :)

He's been to more places than me. Lucky Jack. Haha :D

And I suddenly remembered I have Yellow earrings. Haha.

But they're still with my mom, she got them for me last week. I left them in their room, I'll get them from her tomorrow.

And so that I won't forget, I wrote this note:

Haha. I am such a dork. Haha. :D

Goodnight, everyone! Let's all be cute tomorrow! :D

One Headband More

So yesterday I said I'll make a new headband. Here it is! :D

So first, prepare your materials :)

 Needle, Thread & Scissors

 Ribbons of your choice

 Garter & Bias Tape

 Embellishments!

 And listen to music while you're working ^_^

Yesterday, I made a playlist filled with love songs. Hehe.

Some of them are old songs already.. Like this one :D

 Okay, so cut the ribbons & garter.

 Try to envision how you want the headband to look like.

 Then sew away! :D

 Ta dah!!! New headband :D

 Cute, right? ^_^

For my last post regarding headbands, if you haven't read it yet, click HERE :)

Coming up next, how to organize your stuff (accessories) in an unexpensive way :)

Headbands

According again to Wikipedia...

A headband is a clothing accessory worn in the hair or around the forehead, usually to hold hair away from the face or eyes. Headbands generally consist of a loop of elastic material or a horseshoe-shaped piece of flexible plastic or metal. They come in assorted shapes and sizes and are used for both practical and fashion purposes.
Horseshoe-shaped headbands are sometimes called Alice bands after the headbands that Alice is often depicted wearing in Through the Looking-Glass.

So who loves headbands? *raises hand* I do!!! :D

And here are some reasons why I love headbands:

1. They do keep hair away from the face/eyes.

See! It helps make sewing easier! :)

2. When you're having a bad hair day, but you don't want to tie your hair up, just wear a headband. Trust me, it makes your ugly hair less obvious. So yeah, when you see me wearing a headband, you know the reason why. Hahaha :D

3. Also when you're wearing a simple outfit but you're not in the mood to wear accessories like bracelets, etc., when you wear a headband, it makes your look more interesting. Hence wear a headband to avoid having a boring look. Usually when I go out, I like wearing just jeans, shirt, flats & a headband. :)

4. When I wear a headband (my super close friends know this), I feel like a princess wearing a tiara. Hahaha. Funny, right? But that's true! I think every girl would love to wear a tiara. But try wearing one and walk in the streets here. You'd look stupid. Hahahaha. So the next best thing to a tiara is a headband.:)

Look at Blair Waldorf. She always wears headbands. I don't know her reasons but I think you'd agree that she looks super pretty! Btw, I got these pictures from Google Images :)

I love her headbands but I can't wear some of them. I think they attract too much attention & that you have to be really, REALLY pretty to pull them off. Haha. As for me, here are some of the headbands I can pull off:

I love them all but they make my head (the part behind the ears) ache :(
But I still wear them though! Haha :D

This is where my *cough* creativity comes in. Remember the ribbons I arranged yesterday?

You know those kinds of headbands that don't require plastic or metal? :)

*this pic is from Wikipedia again

I decided to make one! :D but actually, I was able to make 2 before lunch. Hehe :)

So for materials, you'll need:
*ribbons
*needle, black thread, garter (at most 1/2 inch wide) & black bias tape

*scissors

Okay. First, measure the garter & ribbon you're gonna use.

 Don't forget to put allowances!

 

Then sew the garter onto the ribbon you chose.

 

 Then use the bias tape to cover the joint of the ribbon & garter.

 Make little stitches so that it's barely noticeable.

 And voila! A new headband. Hihi :)

 It also helps to listen to music while working. :)

 Right now, I'm loving Adele. Download her album! :)

 Ribbons with holes let you use a secondary ribbon.

 Just insert the ribbon through the holes.

 Then just repeat the steps above!

 And I've got 2 new headbands before lunch! Hihi :)

Can't wait to go out and wear them. Hihihihi :)
