Catwalks and Confetti

Skirt: Target, Skirt Thrifted, Wedges: Thrifted Aldo, Belt: DIY

Within the past year belts have become one of my favorite accessories. I find that I'm constantly cinching in my waist and love having different styles to really make a statement. This skinny belt, that I'm sure most of you probably have somewhere in your closet too, was easily transformed with just a bit of polish. I love that by adding a simple bright stripe, this belt adds a fun pop of color and knotting up the belt creates a really pretty line.

Here's how to Make it Better:

1. Tape off the area of your belt that doesn't need to be painted

2. Paint your belt with polish of choice...let 1st coat dry, then apply a 2nd

3. Take off tape

4. Ready to wear...pair it with everything and have fun.

Tank: Thrifted, Skirt: Thrifted, Heels: Rebecca Minkoff, Brooches: DIY

Hey lovelies, I hope you all had a great weekend. I had the weekend off and celebrated my anniversary pretty much the entire time...enjoyed every minute of it.

I wanted to start off this week with a new series on the blog. So I present to you, Make it Better Mondays: a feature that will focus on taking something old you may already own and finding a way to give it a new life in your wardrobe.

The brooches on my tank are from a shirt I found at the thrift store sometime last week. The previous owner had cut holes all along the side seams and ruined the shirt but I fell for the embellishments that were on the shoulders. I knew it would be simple enough to turn them into brooches that I could pin and have fun with.
