FENNOFashion Necklace and DIY Napkin Skirt

 This post is a two-fold post. First I want to share the coolest necklace I got from Megan of FENNOfashion ,  Cincinnati. This necklace was a must-have because of the sewing machine on it! Her creations are awesome, and beautifully made. She is also an awesome lady as well! Her jewelry designs are vintage inspired, and classic keepsakes to treasure. She re-makes and up-cycles vintage pieces as well as her own clothing line!

Her personality shines as brightly as her gems! Her website is linked above. 

Part two is this skirt I made out of thrifted cloth napkins. I stitched them together, added elastic and did a paper-bag waist. The napkins are already hemmed. So simple to make! I like the colorful stripes and seersucker material. I usually don't go this short until August, but what the heck! Thank goodness for self-tanner.

 The black Danskin leotard top is from Wal-mart, for $3.00. The shoes also from the W place.

 I forgot to snap my earrings, silver vintage looking cameos from Big Lots.

Red belt, Target.

 I love sun blotches! It seems like I haven't seen the sun in months!

Here's to a great week !

Nightie Top and Tropical Florals / Spring Fling !

Cincinnati Fashion Week started off with a bang ! This is what I wore to the Spring Fling in Western Hills. I was worried about whether it was casual or dressy, so I decided that I'd check out some of the people going into the affair, first. I blended. It was casual. I was greeted at the door with champagne and some of the neatest crafters, designers and vendors. I met so many nice people, and I met Megan of FENNOfashion. Her vintage inspired jewelry was to die for ! She recycles vintage pieces and makes them timeless, plus her use of crystals blew me away! Her vision and talent was unsurpassed !  As well as her sparkling personality ! Can't wait to show off my goodies. There were so many great ideas I tucked away and also scored a fantastic geode piece! I am really proud of the talent that resides in my home-town! After all, one of the top schools for Creative and Performing Arts is right down town ! I hope to go to another event this coming week!

I wore a tropical floral cropped silk pant (thrifted), a turquoise fitted tank under a sheer nightie. Yep, a nightie! I added a sheer cropped cardi and scarf for layers and my Candie's mules. I love florals and have always been drawn to the tropical prints, without the obvious Hula theme. I really like the resort wear looks for this summer. A lot of tropical florals !

I strapped this recently thrifted small Aigner summer bag across my shoulders. It's small , but big enough for the essentials without lugging a heavy purse. It blended as well. Shannon, of Dirty Hair Halo has been sporting this type of bag lately and I so ripped this trend off !

I actually washed my hair and styled it, or you might have seen a funky hat as well!

What do you think? Would you wear sleep-wear out in public ???
