Monochrome Cool

OUTFITS UNDER 100! 

The first picture was be base for this since I’m obsessed with it. It’s the Katie Skirt from Wasteland. It’s a white miniskirt in the front with an asymmetrical black back. For $38 you’re crazy to say no.

The second picture is the top I picked to go with it. I wanted to do something a little more simple since the skirt is such a knockout. I picked the Sparkle & Fade Triangle Neck Tank Top from Urban Outfitters on sale for $19.99. It’s adorable, you can dress it up or throw it on with some jeans and call it a day.

Last picture is of the Qupid Peep Toe Two Tone Wedge Bootie from UrbanOG.com. The two tone bit of it goes with the skirt so well it’s amazing. For $30.90, it’s the perfect finishing touch.

So there it is, a monochrome fabulous outfit for $88.99. You even have money to spare. Damn I’m good.

Michelin Men

If there is one thing in this world that I cannot stand, 

It's people wearing clothing that does not fit.

I don't mind so much clothing that is a couple sizes too big 

(c'mon, I live in over-sized clothing),

It's seeing girls in clothing that is too small that just breaks my fucking heart. 

Don't get me wrong, big is beautiful.
But, it is not beautiful when you look like a stack of tires.

If you are not a size two, then do not try to squeeze yourself into a size two.

Trust me, you are not hiding it from anyone.

And to all the small girls,
You are still fashion sinning by wearing sizes beneath your own.
When your lady bits are falling out of your ensemble, 

people will probably assume you are a skank.

Stay classy, friends.

You are never too broke to buy clothes that fit you.
And they look a whole lot better on!

Plus, it's a whole lot more comfortable to wear clothes that let you breathe.

So, please, my lovely little bitches, dress yourself properly.
And make sure your friends (and enemies) do the same.

Together we can put and end to this awful, awful sight. 

Forever Yours,

Samantha

I Hate Leggings.

This one's pretty self explanatory guys.

Cropped & Screwed.

HOLY SHIT, GUYS.

I'm back.

Don't hate me, please.
The fashionista life keeps me way too busy.
But I still love you. I promise.

ANYWAYYYY.
Today I'm going to teach you something fantastic.

We are going to learn how to make crop tops.

(Glorious, glorious crop tops.)

Look in your dresser.
You have 500 old t-shirts, right?
I know you do.
Every poor bitch has 500 old t-shirts.

Pick the biggest one you have, and let's get started.

Here's mine:

Huge grey/blue t-shirt thing.

(Excuse the selfies.)

(And also the face...)

Alrighty.
First Step:

Lay your shirt out as flat as you possibly can.
Even iron it, maybe, because it's probably a wrinkled wad of shit right now.

Second Step:

Cut right above the hem of the shirt.
Please do it nicely because, depending on how lazy you are, this part will show.

And theennn...:

Take your straightest ruler and draw the biggest rectangle you can.

Toss the sleeve & collar bits elsewhere, you probably wont need them again for this.
(Maybe horde them for later use or something.)

"Side" Note:

My pictures are sideways for a reason, here, guys.
The sides of you shirt are now the top & bottom.
The top & bottom are now the sides.
(Oh, oh, oh, it's magic!)

Now the Rest,
Well, that's for you to decide, bitches.
Yah, I'm making you be creative.
Enjoy it.
Embrace it, even.

I'll give you some tips, I suppose.

Ok, so, here's the easiest thing to do:

Safety pins.

The numbers will depend on the size of your body & the size of the shirt, 

So don't take my numbers without checking your own!
(The "shoulders" will always be wider than the "waist.")

OTHER OPTIONS:

> Sew the areas outside the pins, instead of pinning. Looks more like a real shirt and less like pinned rectangles.)

> Give it a hem! (Much more like a real shirt. Much more time consuming.) (But it looks REALLY nice, though.)

> Punch holes and tie it. (The no-sew way out.)

> Use buttons or fancy brooches or some shit. (Or more safety pins!)

> Shorten it! (Not too much, or you'll look like a skank.)

> Decorate it or use a tee with designs on it already.

> (Really, guys. The choice is your's with this thing)

There you go.
A custom crop, just for you ♥

I'll add a picture of mine soon. :)

Forever Yours,

Samantha

Currently Style Stalking : Azealia Banks

Let me start off by saying, I’m so sorry we’ve been missing for so long. I’ve been so busy with work and Sami has a very colorful life in California.

Now. Here’s a new post called Currently Style Stalking. It’s a little tribute to whomever I’m obsessing over style wise now. This week is rapper Azealia Banks.

Her style is quirky and eclectic and goofy and just ugh. I love it all. If you’re digging her style just like I am, check out the video for her banger, 212. 

She’s also, for all you Cali folk, performing at Coachella this year. WHICH I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT IS NOT FUCKING WOODSTOCK. I don’t understand why fashion bloggers are making Coachella this crazy hippy festival because it’s not.

Okay I’m done.

Yours Truly,

Rah Rah Riot

Alrighty so I decided this would be a cool thing to do from now on. Basically I’m gonna put an outfit together composed of 3 pieces and it’s gonna be less than $100 dollars. All links are included below.

Fuck yeah.

Alright so, the first picture is a shirt I’ve been in love with for a loooooong time, it’s the Dumb & Ugly shirt by Burger and Friends. It’s super lightweight, looks good on everyone and it’s an oversized tee - my favorite. It comes in either a sweater or a shirt, but I prefer the shirt. For $24 how could you not buy this?

Next picture is the Gene plaid pant/trouser by Motel Rocks. I love plaid pants, it’s the punk child in me. These look crazy comfortable and I always love what Motel is doing. Definitely fab. These bad boys are on sale right now for $24.95. 75% OFF PEOPLE. And if you use my rep code, andjeb, when you check out you get 10 percent extra off!

Last picture is shoes. I’m a shoe fucking freak. I love them. Especially crazy ones. So I pretty much died when I saw this Beverly-23 Fur Ankle Bootie by Breckelle. They’re a whopping $9.25 so I can justify these as an instant buy. They also bring out the hint of red in the plaid in the trousers. Unfortunately for others besides me, Urbanog only has these in an 8 right now. BUT. If you google it you can find other websites that carry it, for a different price I’m sure.

Well there you have it ladies, a 3 piece outfit for under $100. $58.20 to be exact. So you actually have money left over.

You should probably save it for food. Or rent.

Yours Truly,

Andjelina

We're Baaaaackkkk

WE’VE RETURNED!!! Sorry for being gone so long :c

Please ignore the spot on my face. And weird laugh. That is all.

Dress Mess.

So I found this dress from Forever21 that was not so hot.

I was never going to wear it & I'm not even sure why I have it.

So I turned it into a cute little skirt!!

With the help old of some old soffie shorts, of course.

I'll show you how to do it to your old ugly dress.

Materials:
> Dress with skirt potential (Works best with empire waists)

> Elastic (It should be an inch bigger than the distance around your waist, while stretched.)

> Sewing utensils (Machine or needle & thread work fine.)

I am a cheap bastard, so instead of purchasing elastic, I seam-ripped it of some shorts that I did not care for.
I even cut it in half for later use! Haha
You can just buy some if you'd like.

First Step:

Cut your dress right under the empire seam.
(Heart-breaking, I know.)
I left about 1/2" on the top portion to potentially make a top out of it later.

Please cut as straight as possible.
Otherwise you are going to have a jank-ass skirt.

Step Two:

Pin the waist of your skirt about 1/4" wider than your elastic.
With flimsy fabric like mine, the more pins the better.
(I would also advise pinning vertically.)

Leave a small space to string your elastic through!

Step Three:

 Sew that bad boy.
My elastic was 1/2", so I sewed at 5/8" & 6/8"
(I double stitched for security purposes, but it's not necessary.) 

Remember to NOT sew up the hole for the elastic!

Step Four:

String your safety-pinned elastic all the way through your new waist band, making sure it doesn't get twisted along the way.

It's supposed to look scrunchy, don't try to smooth it all out.

Step Five:

After you get the elastic all the way through, sew it at 1/2".

Be sure to sew the seam open so it doesn't get too bulky.
Cut off the extra stuff :]

Final Step:

Sew the elastic hole closed by blending your new seams with the one's you already did.

And you're all set!!

Reuse, Renew, RECYCLE.

Bam.

Forever Yours,

Samantha

Gambling For Prints

Alright, so tonight’s post is a little game. It’s called Gambling For Prints. I love to play this game cause it can take an outfit to the next level. Everybody has at least a few of these items in your closet, and if not, you could pick them up from a thrift store cheap.

To play this game, you need two dice. Roll your first one, whatever number you get is the accordingly numbered pattern. Roll the other die and find out which pattern to wear with it. If you get the same pattern roll again!!

1. Stripes
2. Plaid
3. Animal
4. Polka Dots
5. Tie Dye
6. Floral

Remember ladies, fashion is about fun. So you’re obviously not going to match, but in an odd way you will.

Now get out there and play that damn game!!

Yours Truly,
Andjelina
