I was thinking about making one of my resolutions to be to wear more (dangly) earrings. I always wear my cz / diamante studs and it's very rare for me to wear anything else. I'm much more of a necklace / bracelet person and while some girls can pull of the big necklace and earring look, it's not for me. I always feel naked without a necklace but I have many earrings and I should try and get some use out of them. These earrings are actually a favourite pair and would you believe I've had them for over seven years?! I also bought them in a plum colour and have never seen anything similar since (which.is.awesome). Are you a (dangly) earring person?

I have been cleaning out my closets like crazy. The other night I went through my sweater closet and purged, purged, purged. Some items I will consign, but many will just be donated.
There are a few things I'm donating that I felt could be used for DIY (it's not like I have anything to lose if I'm donating it, right? Right). I decided to make some cute leg warmers with this old favourite sweater from Jacob. In the process, I made a vest too. It was super easy and if any of you give this a try, send me your photos and I'd love to see 'em!
What you'll need:
- An old sweater you don't wear anymore
- Scissors
Cut the sleeves off the sweater & voila
(I like the angle at one end as this looks cute on the feet when you wear them,
however, you could just chop 'em straight)
Dress 'em down with flats for weekend lounging (& wear the vest too!)
Dress 'em up with heels for a night out

I mentioned that I purchased seven pairs of shoes (online) the other day and, well, 'half' of them have arrived. These three are all from Aldo and I love them.
The grey ones are my fave and I've worn them twice in a week, which isn't usually the norm as I try to mix it up considering how many shoes I have. They are the perfect shade of grey, a real elephant grey, real suede, and they are easy to walk in and quite comfortable.
I'm not sure about the boots (despite coveting them) I really love 'em but online they are described as, 'Over the knee' and they certainly are not. They barely come to my knees, let alone go over them, so that was a tad disappointing. Still, I really like them and got a great deal on them (50% off), however, they do remind me of these boots that I already own, minus the wedge. Who am I kidding? I'm so keeping them.
The camel-coloured suede wedges are cute, conservative, I suppose, but chic. I love the detail on the heel and they are easy to walk in (honestly, for me at least, almost all wedges are easier to walk in than a regular heel, usually - and I do a lot of walking in my job, for an office job that is). I've already worn them and am a big fan, however, it makes me realize I do really favour peep-toe shoes over closed toes. I just do.
Lastly, I noticed that the boots are the same price I paid ($90) but both pairs of shoes have gone up in price. I paid less than $50 each. However, if you do decide you want them, don't forget to sign up for Aldo's email list to get 10% off your order.

While cleaning out my closet on the weekend, I came across this skirt, or should I say tank... yes ladies, that's right, tank top. It was a long, stretch cotton tank that I purchased over a year ago and never wore. I loved it, it just didn't love me. It was semi-baggy, but in the wrong places, frankly, just unflattering. I was about to chuck it when I decided to be experimental. I chopped off the top part of the tank by cutting a line straight across the shirt, directly under the arm pits. Voila! Instant skirt! It's actually pretty awesome and I rocked it immediately.
Secondly, do I look tanned? That could be because when I took these photos I had just come from getting a spray tan. So in reality, I shouldn't really look tanned because it takes 6-8 hours for the tan to show up... but I got a (spray) tan a few days earlier, so, I already had colour. I was also wearing my (signature) beige (large) fishnets too but those are no good to put back on after getting a spray tan... unless you want diamond markings all over your legs in 6-8 hours.
Lastly, see the dust on my shoes? No? Well you will when you see the last picture. That's from work. The carpets, I swear, do they vacume those things?! Whenever I wear any leather or shiny shoes they get covered in dust. Not a huge deal... except for when you forget to wipe them off and go to take pictures for your blog and they look all dusty... right...
