Black Magic

This is an outfit consisting of two dresses.  The black overlay is a vintage find.  Its a velvet lace burnout button up dress.  Since it is sheer I decided to use it instead in this outfit as more of a long jacket over this crew neck cheetah print dress.  I belted the dress underneath and then threw the jacket over it and wore some tall camel color boots.  The necklace is one that I made recently using various reclaimed hardware. 

Make it Work

 

Along with a passion for designing jewelry, I love to design clothes as well.  When I find myself in a creative rut, I like to pull out my sketch book and just start drawing.  It can be quite addictive.  I design and make things on my own, and also really enjoy remaking pieces.  These are just only a few of things that I have made.  The dress at the top is a dress I made, and then the two at the bottom are pieces that I made out of some old Pairs of leggings.  I am hoping once I get my work room set up, I will be making a lot more!

Statement Belt

This belt is a great vintage find, and also my new favorite statement belt.  It's an old holster belt that rests perfectly on the hip.  I think it's great to paired with something feminine like a long maxi and lace cardigan.  I added in the necklace I made as well to feature it at a longer length.

Heavy Metals

This is a necklace I made recently using lots of reclaimed hardware.  It's made of all different kinds of metals from various spare parts I've collected including pieces from old door knobs, old jewelry, and other spare kitchen parts.  I wanted it to be a bold statement necklace and wanted it to look very geometric. The chain on it can also be adjusted to various lengths so it can be worn short or long.

Be bold

Mixing prints is one of my favorite things to do.  I mixed a silky navy and creme striped top underneath this 90's black and creme floral printed dress, tall suede black boots with knee high socks, and a camel color medium size belt. Another warm weather dress that is now fall weather ready.
