embroidering today for a better tomorrow, an Earth Day DIY---broder aujourd'hui pour mieux vivre demain, un bricolage pour le jour de la Terre

Happy Earth Day! I just want to say having witnessed the power of Mother Nature this week in its full force (check out the flooding we had in Houston, TX) I am still in awe of how small we as humans are, but what an impact we can have too...I wish that Houston were more environmentally friendly and conscious and maybe catastrophic events like this can help people realize that it is not OK to litter the bayous and waterways to the point where they clog easily and overflow when a storm comes (I am aware there is more at play than that but I have lived a lot of places and Houston takes the cake for most overall polluted).

Joyeux jour de la Terre! Cette semaine j'ai été impressionné encore une fois par la puissance de Mère Nature (Houston, TX a souffert des inondations assez importantes). Cela me fascine à quel point les êtres humains sont petits, mais d'un autre côté nous avons une grande influence sur l'environnement...j'aimerais que Houston prenne conscience de ce fait et que la ville soit plus écologique, j'espère que les évènements de cette semaine montrerons aux gens que la pollution (surtout des bayouts et autres petits canals) n'aide pas la situation quand il pleu des cordes et que les passages d'eau sont bloquées. 

Anyways, descending from soapbox now and bringing you a tutorial that has helped me help the planet. A few years ago I was going through clothes I wanted to get rid of but felt bad about wasting when I saw how much was about to be thrown out/donated/sold. I thought of how I could transform the articles of clothing in a way that would make them appealing for me to wear them again. My main complaint is that they were too plain for my current tastes, so I thought about what I liked. I LOVE embroidered details and quickly set out to see how I could add this little pizzazz to my boring snoring shirts in an easy and inexpensive way. 

Bref, je me calme, et je vous apporte un tuto bricolage qui m'a aidé à sauver la planète (bon j'exaggere...). Il y a quelques années je faisais le tri de vêtements chez moi et le nombres de choses dont je me débarasser me faisait mal au coeur. Je me suis donc décidée à ne pas gaspiller et de faire un projet pour rendre mes chemises que je trouvais trop simple un peu plus intéressantes. J'adore les détails brodés et je me suis lancée dans un projet bricolage pour embellir mes chemises d'une manière simple et économe. 

You will need:

• embroidery hoop (pictured in shots 5,6,8 this one was very inexpensive and I get a lot of use out of it)
• embroidery floss in colors of your choice and darning needle or other large-eyed needle ( shot 7)
• transfer/tracing paper (shots 1,2)
• pencil with soft lead (6B is a good lead for this, pictured in shot 3)
• good quality eraser
• sewing pen/marker with water soluble ink (very inexpensive and easy to find, I also get a lot of use out of it, seen in shot 3)
• scissors
• a plain article of clothing of your choice :)

Vous aurez besoin de:

• cercle à broder 
• fil à broder et aiguille à broder 
• papier calque 
• crayon gras 
• gomme 
• feutre de couture
• ciseaux
• un vêtement simple de votre choix

1

You will probably want to decide on your design's size and location on the clothing first, make sure that if there are seams or pockets or buttons etc...you take that into consideration before starting. Also, if your fabric is dark consider investing in a white soft lead pencil so it appears on the fabric

.

 You can find ideas for designs  to embroider anywhere on the web, some are free templates some are not, so do be conscious of that. I got a lot of my ideas from my brain but you can find some neat ones here. 

Start sketching your design (or copying if you're getting it from the web) on the tracing paper with your soft lead pencil. Make sure the lead is nice and thickly spread on the design. 

Vous allez vouloir vérifier que votre dessin ne passe pas sur des coutures ou des boutons, poches, etc...et si votre matière pout le vêtement est de couleur sombre assurez vous d'avoir un crayon gras blanc. 

Si vous ne pouvez pas inventer votre propre dessin, il y a des modèles en ligne, certain sont gratuits et d'autres payants. J'en ai trouvé beaucoup ici mais vous pouvez faire vos propres recherches. 

Commencez à dessiner ou bien recopier votre dessin sur le papier calque. Assurez-vous que le crayon gras et beaucoup de depots sur le papier car celui-ci va être reproduit sur le tissue de votre vêtement.

 2

When you are done tracing it on the tracing paper and going over it with the pencil, lay it with the side you were just sketching on face down ON the fabric you are going to be embroidering (the extra graphite will be transferring the design).

Start gently rubbing and rolling the pencil sideways over the design to apply pressure and allow the extra graphite to transfer.  

Quand vous avez terminé votre dessin, mettez le papier calque à l'envers sur le vêtement à l'endroit où vous le voulez. Commencez à frottez doucement avec le côté du crayon pour faire le transfert du calque à la matière. 

 3

If you mess up in the tracing or transferring stage you should still be able to erase your marks and recover the project ;) except yours Gretchen, yours is a lost cause...bahaha just kidding I don't even know a Gretchen, sorry if a Gretchen reads this and gets offended. 

The transfer will be light but should be visible enough for you to then retrace it with the sewing marker. The sewing marker basically erases off of fabric with water, I promise it WILL go away once you wash the project. 

Retracez les marques de crayon avec votre feutre de couture, malgré ça couleur vive, l'encre disparaitra une fois qu'elle sera lavée.

 5

Phew, you have traced this design so many times by now you will be able to embroider it with your eyes closed. Now for those amateurs who need to keep reading this is for you. 

Make sure when you buy your embroidery hoop that it is large enough to suit the majority of your project needs, you may like this enough to keep doing it and may want to do bigger designs down the line... 

You will need to stretch the fabric pretty tight, but not so tight that it compromises the threads and may lead to breakage of the pattern and fabric later; I find it easiest to kind of set the back hoop on the inside of the fabric and adjust the top part that I can see and basically mess with it until I get it to be easy for me to manage as I work on it.

Maintenant que vous avez retracez ce dessin autant de fois vous pouvez le broder avec les yeux fermés. Ok tuto terminé hahaha. 

Achetez un cercle à broder assez grand pour votre dessin. Étendez le tissue des deux côtés avec le bas du cercle en premier (je trouve que le cercle du haut et plus facile à manipuler) mais assurez vous que le tissue ne soit pas trop tendu autrement il sera fragile quand vous allez commencez à passer l'aiguille et le fil autour du dessin. 

 6

You are now ready for the embroidery floss and the darning needle. You need a needle with a larger eye because unless you plan on stitching your project with sewing thread, passing the floss through a sewing needle's eye will be quite challenging.

Il faut du fil et une aiguille spécial pour faire le brodage, une aiguille avec un trou assez large pour laisser passer le fil qui est plus épais que du fil à coudre.

 7

Make a knot in your embroidery floss and start working on your design from the back. You can look here for different stitches to use and practice them on other fabric if you'd like. I kind of just go for a fill in the space look hahaha, though I did show two different kinds of that look (I wouldn't normally do that, just trying to show some options). Once you are done with part of your design (to start a different part like a different flower, or if you want a different color) make sure to tie down the thread on the back of the fabric. 

Faites un noeud dans votre fil et commencez à faire le tour de votre dessin. Si vous voulez des coutures spéciales vous pouvez en trouver ici, moi personnellement je fais un peu comme un coloriage, je reste entre les lignes hahahaha. Une fois que vous avez fini une partie (soit vous changer de couleur ou bien un motif différent) du dessin faites un noeud dans le dos du tissue et recommencez.

I am not done with the one from the tutorial, I was actually planning on dying the fabric so that will be part of another tutorial :) but here is the finished design on one of my other blouses.

Je n'ai pas encore fini le dessin de l'autre tuto, mais je voulais teindre la chemise d'une autre couleur donc ça devra attendre et j'en ferai un autre tuto à l'avenir :) voici un ancien dessin que j'ai realisé il y a un certain temps.

online consign like a pro: the thredup special---devenir pro de l'occasions en ligne: spécial thredup

Hello everyone! I have recently found myself with a little extra time on my hands what with the flooding going on in my town and subsequent road, school, and business closures...so I gladly bring you the first of a special series on online retail and consignment :) 

All items seen in the pictures are from ThredUp. These are not the only items which I own that came from there, just a snapshot. I unfortunately do not have pictures of items I have sold to them. 

One of the topics I get asked about frequently is online consigning: buying and selling clothing which is lightly used (sometimes new!) through apps or websites. This is what would I consider to be one of my hobbies and something I have gotten relatively good at over the years and it is something which I thought would be best tackled in separate posts to truly do justice to all the companies out there.

 I will attempt to list out only important basics and let you decide how to use that information as you play around with these apps and websites and find your groove and form your own opinion. I want to note that though these companies are not paying me currently to write about them, I am not against the idea of partnering with them at a future date.

Today's focus is on ThredUp.

If you are familiar with the classic consignment store business model, ThredUp does this with a 21st century twist.

How it Works (Seller Side): 

• ThredUp sends you a free giant bag in the mail to fill with your gently used clothing, shoes, and accessories (they currently only accept women's, juniors', and children's items...sorry dudes). Keep in mind they prefer certain brands but will really accept anything in good condition that could still be considered "in style". 
• The company assesses the potential value of your items and offers you a price should you accept it (there is an option where they send you back all your stuff if you are unhappy with their offer).
• You get a payout even before your items sell and you are guaranteed a payout which is something that I consider to be a HUGE plus to doing business with ThredUp.
• You also have the option of cashing in your offer for a higher amount of store credit, which leads me to discuss some things I have noticed as a shopper there

The Shopper Pros/Cons

• Pro: a wide selection, this is great if you are looking for anything from basics to that killer pair of aztec print jeggings (as seen above)
• Pro: great ways to filter by size, style, color, etc...basically anything you can think of
• Pro: merchandise is easy to see, all pictures are well lit with a neutral background,and pertinent information about each item is listed as the workers are meticulous when assessing the clothing coming in

• Pro-Con: depending on your tastes and life stage this observation of mine can really be either. When ThredUp had just begun I feel like their selection and styles available reflected more of what I personally like (funky, eclectic stuff), as it has grown I have noticed that it now tends to favor a more mature and somewhat preppy style. That is not to say you can't find some awesome boho/edgy/funky stuff, you just have to have patience and know what you're looking for.
• Pro-Con: you do have to pay for shipping if your order is under a certain monetary amount. However, the shipping is not unreasonable at all, and for the minimum amount (last I ordered it was $75 to get free shipping, in the past it was $50, I think it might also depend on what deals they are running) you can get quite a haul of good stuff, think, several outfits.

• Con: a wide selection. I know this is also listed in the Pro section, and bear with me, sometimes you just want to narrow stuff down and it becomes impossible when you are looking through heaping mounds of clothes. Some people get overwhelmed by the hunt, I live for the thrill of it...just know that there is a TON of stuff to sift through on here. 
• Con: I have noticed lately that sometimes the price points are not as desirable as I feel they should be for consigned clothes. A lot of the stuff on here is designer and therefore retains its value. This I feel is also subjective based on personal circumstances, but the prices have gone up over time as a general rule with ThredUp. 

Final Thoughts and Recommendations

• I highly recommend sending in items when you know you have a lot to send in and you are just overall cleaning out and you don't mind not receiving a huge payout for it. The positive here vs other websites where you put up a classified for each item is that you are guaranteed a payout and it is immediate.
• I recommend subscribing to their emails so you stay informed on the deals they are running
• When shopping look for items that are name brand/quality/designer and look for it in the lower price range areas (they have a "basement" section which is like their clearance, a "last chance" section, and a filter for price range and brand). I usually don't care at all about brand, but keep in mind that if you're paying for something at what I consider a mid-range consignment price plus a shipping fee you may as well make it something that might last a little more than the Forever21 graphic tee (I love them, just saying...). 

Have you ever tried ThredUp? Did you love it? Which online consigner would you like me to feature next?

Mes amis et lecteurs francophones, malheureusement le site web dont je parle dans cet article n' existe pas encore en dehors des États-Unis.

proven outfit formula, sticking to the rules-- une formule de tenue qui fait ses preuves, se tenir à carreau

Hi everyone! Life has been CRAZY lately but I am here to bring you an outfit post and a short tutorial on one of my basic outfit formulas.  Do you have any foolproof outfit formulas? 

I've really been loving grid print lately, it's nice and simple and I like the black and white, clean look it gives. Which is kind of unlike me, I tend to go for more wild and free looks and patterns. I still found a way to infuse my personal style into this typically preppy look with the cranberry colored tulle skirt and off-beat necklace and sandals. 

 These are my simple rules when I am stuck and need something quick, you can think of it as a basic outfit formula (sometime's it ends up being boss and sometimes it's just barely put together...)

 1 printed item+1 solid item in a contrasting color+ accessories and shoes pulling from one of the colors in the outfit

Outfit details:

skirt: vinted,$6 (looks to have been handmade) similar

grid shirt: vinted, $6 similar

necklace: Deseret Industries, $1 

sandals: vinted, $11 (Crown Vintage Leather) similar

<3 thanks for reading!

Salut tout le monde! La vie est SUPER stréssante ces derniers temps et je suis surmenée en ce moment mais je viens faire un petit coucou et vous donner une formule simple pour créér une tenue. Avez-vous vos propres formules pour préparer vos ensembles?

Récemment je suis fascinée par le motif à carreaux en noir et blanc, comme celui trouvé sur ma chemise. C'est simple, propre, et une ésthetique que je ne favorise pas d'habitude. Normalement je préfère les motifs, les tissus et les couleurs plus "libres" et bohémiens. Ce que j'ai essayé d'incorporer avec ma jupe en tulle d'une belle couleur grenat, mon collier excentrique et mes sandales grèques. 

Ma formule de base quand je n'ai pas beaucoup de temps pour me préparer ci-dessous (ne résultant pas d'une tenue de "boss"à chaque fois, mais tout de même une astuce pour ne pas se retrouver sans rien à porter)

1 article avec un motif+ 1 article sans motif d'une couleur contrastante+ les accessoires et les chaussures tirant d'une des couleures de l'ensemble (dans ce cas-ci le noir des carreaux)

Détails de la tenue: 

 jupe: vinted, $6 (fabriquée à la main?) semblable

chemise: vinted, $6 semblable 

collier: Deseret Industries (d'occasions) $1

sandales: vinted, $11 (Crown Leather Vintage) semblable

<3 bises et merci d'avoir lu!

swamp queen---la reine de l'étang (Part 3 of Building an Outfit)

Welcome back to the mini-series on building your bossiest of the boss outfits. I've already talked about picking out your foundation item; making sure it is something you love and feel fabulous about. Then I followed up with advice about letting the item shine; complimenting vs. competing and matching.

 In this post I will be talking about adding your own personal flair and putting the finishing touches on your outfit: accessorizing, peeps!!!

I knew I would be going to church when I started building this outfit, so my thoughts went towards which skirts I owned that would be comfortable and season-appropriate. I picked this pink number because the color and fabric are spring-ish and the length would be enough to cover me in the chilliness and wind. I am usually not a fan of pink but this one has that peach tone to it which I like. Then I thought about which tops I had which would help compliment it; I picked a darker top because I like to have a color balance of light and dark so things pop. I like the slightly more fitted silhouette and structure that the button-up provides and there are many shades of orange, cream, and pink in a fun and unique pattern (I LOVE unique prints). A quick word about fit; if I had not tucked in my shirt there would have been some problems trying to identify where my waist is and it would have looked frumpy and weird. I will address more specifics on fit in another post soon ;) 

Ok, so getting down to the nitty gritty of this post. Once I have my top and bottom I am technically dressed. I mean, ham and two slices of bread are technically a sandwich...a sad, depressing, bachelor sandwich but a sandwich nonetheless. 

So now for condiments, and cheese, and veggies. I usually go for a more minimalist approach when it comes to accessorizing, I think you should stick to no more than 3 accessories in any given outfit. I know some would disagree with this method, but the more I accessorize I find the more concerned I am as I move throughout the day that things will be caught onto other things, or fall off, or sit funny, or make noise...or make me look like Ms. Frizzle from magic school bus (who am I kidding she is awesome). 

With that said, I practice a lot of what I mentioned in the previous post about coordinating your colors, textures, patterns, and even the overall look or feeling of the outfit. The accessories are the flair, they are how you inject your personality into the outfit.

I was feeling a definite boho-queen vibe from the top and bottom, and I had been itching to wear this headband; it just speaks to me and my style. The subtle metallic sheen, the plush shape of the flowers, how full it looks on your head...I love everything about it and was so excited I would finally get to wear it! 

 I then added a belt to again pull in the look at the waist, it also had a metallic accent which compliments the headband and the color of the pleather went with the color scheme I had going.

The shoes are awesome; super comfy, they go with a ton of things and are that boho rustic style that I love. The dark color also draws in from the blouse I am wearing and really finishes the whole look.

Overall this whole look probably cost me under $30 

Skirt is from Forever21 from several years ago ~ $8

Shirt is from Vinted (originally Target) ~$4

Shoes from vinted (originally Target) ~$6

Headband from H&M ~$9

Belt from a clothing swap (free!!! yay!!!)

Bienvenue au troisième épisode dans la série "comment créér une tenue".

J'ai déjà parlé de la première étape quand on doit trouver un article magique. J'ai aussi parlé du fait que l'on doit laisser l'article magique être la vedette de la tenue et que d'harmoniser ne veut pas dire que tout est de la même couleur.

Aujourd'hui je vais parler de la troisième étape: les accessoires et les petits détails de l'ensemble.

Mon article magique du jour c'était cette jolie jupe rose. Normalement je ne suis pas fan du rose mais j'aime cette jupe car le tissue est léger et a un teint un peu pêche. Je pense que pour que ce soit équilibré un look doit avoir des couleurs clairs et sombres, donc le haut est composé de plusieurs couleurs un peu plus sombre que la jupe mais dans la même famille de couleur avec un motif qui me plait beaucoup.

Bon, bah, avec ma jupe et mon haut je suis techniquement habillée... du pain et du jambon font techniquement un sandwich, un sandwich triste et lasse certes, mais un sandwich tout de même.

Maintenant pour le fromage, et les légumes :) Personnellement je pense que l'on ne devrait jamais avoir plus de 3 accéssoires avec son ensemble, pour moi c'est distrayant d'en avoir plus. 

Mon serre tête je l'adore, je trouve qu'il reflète bien mon style personnel et j'aime beaucoup la couleur dorée et la forme des fleurs ainsi que la matière douce ce qui rend tout ça très agréable à porter.

Je porte la ceinture pour que l'on puisse voir ma taille ( c'est pour ça que je porte aussi ma chemise nichée dans ma jupe) et je trouve que la couleur du faux-cuir et le métal doré vont bien bien avec la chemise et le serre tête.

Finalement les chaussures; j'adore ces chaussures (j'ai sérieusement l'impression de dire ça à chaque fois que j'écris un blogue hahaha) puisqu'elles sont compensées j'arrive à marcher sans soucis et sans douleur. La couleur va bien avec beaucoup de choses et la coupe et le look sont très boho et rustique, un style qui me plait énormement.

En tout j'ai dépensé moins de $30 (~25 euros) sur cette tenue.

Serre tête de chez H&M ~8 euros 

Chemise de chez Vinted ~3 euros

Ceinture gratuite dans un échange 

Jupe de chez Forever21 ~7 euros 

Chaussures de chez Vinted ~5 euros

life in khaki---la vie en khaki

So yeah I am matching the walls of my apartment complex...oh wall.

I like the color khaki, it's my favorite neutral. This outfit is actually all made of neutrals, BUT it is visually interesting thanks to different patterns, layers, and textures (I consider chambray to be a neutral, it's the "new" neutral). 

my husband made me laugh like a goon during this shoot, gotta love him

khaki tunic: thrifted, originally from an Asian boutique

chambray: from vinted, originally from Forever21

aztec trousers and black loafers: H&M 

fish necklace: Forever21

These shoes are SO comfortable. They are also black and flattering, and classic and awesome. I will cry when they get worn out because they save my life at work all the time. I got them and the pants on clearance at H&M with a gift card, the tops and necklace were each under $5. 

I love unique pendants like this, I don't get to wear them often because I am usually wearing my teacher ID badge 

Ouais j'harmonise avec les murs des appartements...c'est cool.

J'aime la couleur khaki, c'est ma couleur neutre préférée. Cette tenue est composée entièrement de couleurs neutres, MAIS je la garde intéressante en ajoutant des motifs différents et des matières et textures différentes. 

Ces chaussures sont hyper confortables. Elles sont aussi flatteuses, et classiques, et géniales. Je vais pleurer une fois qu'elles seront trop vielles pour que je les portes, elles me sauvent la vie au travail constamment. Je les ai acheté à H&M en soldes .

tunique khaki: d'occasions

chemise en chambray: de vinted, d'origine de Forever21

pantalon à motif azteque: H&M

collier poisson: Forever21

lovely poppy---gentil coquelicot...(Part 2 of Building an Outfit)

This post will serve as the second installation in the "Building a Boss Outfit" series. 

Ok, so once you have your magical wardrobe item, I would advise to build your outfit so that the marvelous item gets to take center stage and all other things complement it (not necessarily match it).

 My wonderful item of choice this time around was this lovely poppy print skirt (WITH POCKETS) which was a gift that I had been wearing for good enough weather to wear. It was found on shopruche.com but I am unsure if it still available. I love poppies because they remind me of France. Since it has pretty bold color and print I thought that I would build the rest of the outfit with those principles of aesthetics in mind. 

I picked a simple top that would let the skirt "shine", I made sure the colors were complementary and the shirt's print not too loud. I will talk about how I think mixing prints can work for you at a later time, I know many people are still not convinced that mixing prints is ok, but I think it adds visual appeal and interest to an outfit.

My sandals were a vintage thrifting find, I chose them because they fit the rustic spring/summer aesthetic I was going for. Note that the color doesn't "match" anything, but that is OK I promise, it does not all have to match. 

I also wore my Young Women's medallion because this was on Sunday, and since I get the privilege of working with the Young Women I typically wear my medallion on Sundays. I think it is best not to over  accessorize when you've got a loud outfit on (the color and patterns are rather bright) so I went with simple shoes and necklace.

The take-away here is that coordinating is NOT the same as matching and that when you've got an awesome item you should let it be the center of attention, not overwhelm it. I will elaborate on all that in a future post so stay tuned :)

Voici le deuxième blogue dans la série de "l'ensemble boss".

Donc, quand vous avez votre article magique il suffit simplement de le laisser être le centre de la tenue, les autres articles et accéssoires devraient harmoniser avec le look, les couleurs, et les motifs.

Mon article magique ce jour-là était cette jupe au motif de coquelicot. Je l'adore car les coquelicots me font penser à la France, et en plus cette jupe a des poches!!! Je l'ai trouvé à shopruche.com mais je ne sais pas si elle est toujours disponible. Puisque la jupe a des couleurs et un motif vifs j'ai essayé de garder le reste de la tenue simple avec une ésthetique similaire.

Mes sandales sont une trouvaille d'occasions, je crois qu'elle doivent dâter des années '70s.  Elles me font penser à un pique-nic en campagne, j'aime bien ce style :p

Mon haut a des couleurs qui vont bien avec la jupe mais qui n'attire pas trop d'attention, et mon collier est un collier assez spécial. Je le porte souvent le dimanche car je travail avec les jeunes filles de mon église et c'est le médallion qu'elles peuvent recevoir quand elles terminent le programme. 

Le message aujourd'hui en gros c'est qu'il ne faut pas forcément tout completer avec la même couleur ou le même motif, mais qu'il faut regarder un ensemble avec l'ésthetique complet en tête et essayer d'avoir un article qui est vraiment la star de la tenue. 

À bientôt et merci d'avoir lu!

scented notes---des notes parfumées

This post will feature a few new favorites and some oldies but goodies I've had for awhile.

My current purse. Musashi got it for me as a Christmas gift and it's been used daily ever since. No matter what I always end up going for brown leather purses in this style and shape...it's just one of my style staples that I don't like to mess with too much since it goes with a lot of things and says a lot about my tastes. 

These earrings are a HUGE deal. Musashi got them as a Valentine's gift. They're a big deal because he rarely picks things out himself for me. You see, he has a deep fear of getting it wrong in terms of gifts and me hating his gift, but out of kindness saying I love it, then being stuck with something I don't like. Poor guy, he means so well, and this pair of semi-precious stone earrings from World Market were a big hit for me, not only are they cute, they show a tremendous amount of effort and love on his part <3

Top: thrifted from many years ago (hence the awful pilling you will see in the close-up)

Skirt: vintage, got it in a clothing swap when I lived in Utah, I love the colorful perfume bottles on it!

Shoes: Vinted

 Ce blogue est composé de differents articles que j'adore en ce moment, certains sont neufs, d'autres très très anciens.

Mon sac en cuire est un cadeau de Noël de la part de Musashi. J'ai quelques sacs à mains différents mais ceux sont toujours les modèles de taille moyenne en cuir marron comme celui-ci que j'utilise le plus souvent. J'aime garder mon sac simple et j'essaye de faire en sorte qu'il aille avec un maximum de choses dans ma garde-robe. Ceci est simplement une préférence personnelle. 

Les boucles d'oreilles sont assez spéciales. Musashi m'en a fait cadeau pour la St. Valentin, mais ce n'est pas pour cela qu'elles sont spéciales. Mon pauvre mari à tellement peur de me prendre un cadeau que je n'aime pas qu'il me laisse pratiquement toujours choisir mes cadeaux pour chaque occasion. Le fait qu'il ait eu le courage de choisir les boucles d'oreilles tout seul montre qu'il a mis beaucoup de prévoyance et d'amour en prenant sa décision. Elles sont très jolies en plus <3

Haut: ancien et d'occasions, je l'ai beaucoup porté ce qui se voit clairement avec les petites moumoutes...quelle honte hahaha

Jupe: je l'ai eu dans un échange de vêtements quand je vivais en Utah, le motif est assez chouette, des petites bouteilles de parfums colorées!

Chaussures: Vinted
