New Directions w/ My Online Store :D

In the beginning of June I’ll be adding a ton of stuff to my online store. Also, I’ll be adding a skirt from NY & Company and some jeans from Gap by the end of this week.

In addition,

I have two big plans for my store this summer:

1. Do a very small (like a test run) skirt line (with some possible additional items)
2. Add some DIY products

In regards to #1, I’ve been thinking about this for a while and I decided that I really want to do a very very small skirt line. I just want to test out the idea of having my own line because that’s what I’ll eventually be doing. It’ll be 2-3 skirts (with some possible additional items) and I’ll only be making a small amount of them. 

I have the sketches ready, I just need to get the fabric & notions. I was thinking about possibly showing the sketches on here, or just letting it be a surprise.

In regards to #2, I like doing DIY projects and after looking at a few fashion blogger’s websites, I thought it’d be cool to sell some of my DIY creations. I don’t have a set limit for this, it’ll just be whatever I feel like. 

The skirt line will at the latest be ready by the beginning of August while the DIY products will be ready by the middle of June.

So, keep an eye out. :)

All That Glitters

I don’t think I’ll do an outfit of the day today, simply because this is sort of a lazy day for me. However, tomorrow I’ll definitely have one because it’ll be my “first day” of work at Soma Intimates. It’s training, but I’m still considering it work because I have to adhere to the dress code.. 

And I know I’m late…but Happy Mother’s Day to those out there that are mothers, planning on being a mother, have a mother, have a mother figure in their life, and etc. :)

If you didn’t already know, Betsey Johnson is filing for bankruptcy…which is unfortunate because I truly admire her and her quirky brand. However, according to the Huffington Post, the designer will still, “oversee her sportswear (the moderately-priced goods found in department stores), the accessories (good ol’ Betseyville) and other licenses…[and] has a reality show in the pipeline”.

..I don’t know about anyone else, but I would definitely watch her on TV.

Now because of all of this, everything on the Betsey Johnson collection website and in stores is on sale! :)

I got inspired by some of the jewelry on the site and made two outfits. If you click the titles of the outfits, it’ll take to Polyvore and show you where to buy everything.

Skirt: Made by me, Size 24-ish

Petticoat: Domino Dollhouse, Size XXL

The second picture is me trying to find the petticoat under my skirt, but the 10 second timer went off too fast. I was amused, so I am sharing with you all. :)
