~Rural Style~ Transitioning Summer Clothes Into Fall and Other Dilemmas...

Saturday, September 03, 2011

I'm so sick of summer...I can't express that enough! The first hint of a chilly morning came last week and turned the heat on in my car.:/

Most of my September issue magazines have arrived and I'm ready to wear long sleeve t-shirts, jeans, and flats with trouser socks.  I've been favored as of late, finding amazing pieces at the thrift stores of fall/winter, so I'm packing all those tanks and cutoffs up for storage! I normally would try to transition my summer stuff into my fall but I'm not really good at it. I look like a someone wearing a sundress with tights and not someone in  a chic floral dress toughen up with black tights. lol!

I watched two back to back videos by Chriselle and Anneorshine on YouTube that nailed the "transitional" look...check them out....





I like Anneorshine's ideas because I have several of these same pieces in my wardrobe....


Chriselle....nailed every look. I love her. She's crazy chic and has an amazing eye. She's no amateur, you can tell.

So...do you transition summer clothes into fall? If so, how....leave your tips in the comments for your girl!!!

Sal Val Shoes-$3.99 x 4=$15.96

~Hometown Dollar Store Haul!!~

***DISCLOSURE*** These items were purchased at a "privately" owned dollar store in my hometown with no affliation to Family Dollar, Dollar Tree, or Dollar General. They have the best stuff in there though! LOL!


Sooo....I went to into "Jimmy's Dollar Store" to get my boys deodorant, back up deodorant at SEVEN years old. ***sigh*** and ran into the steal of the day!!! Clearanced Borghese nail polish and treatments!!

I wasn't able to look like I wanted because they were fresh out of school and we needed get home for homework but I picked up some things really quick plus two other AMAZING goodies...



French Mani sets in Toscano Nude and Toscano Pink....
Duro Nail Strengthener and Maximo Nail Growth Treatment....
Illumunare  Hand Serum and  Radiant Hand Creme...looks like some of this stuff came from Walgreens....

Then, I picked up these two shell bags for a $1 a piece. I got Grandma the same two. See, I love her....I buy her stuff.:) I tucked the handles in and they make the PERFECT clutch...I'm going to repair the broken pieces that I can with E-6000 glue.

Ahh.....:))))


~Adorn'd~ Weekend DIY Fun....

Monday, August 29, 2011

Hi Everyone!!

I had a packed weekend of plans, rest, and creativity. I really wanted knockout some projects and ideas I has swirling around in my head and in the countless journals and lists that I keep! I didn't get to all the projects and then I discovered one I wanted to try later. Crafting and creating is such a release. I turned on some great music to set the tone and got at it!

I watched a video on  making vintage earrings into rings. I have a bag full of missing set clip-ons that I was wondering what I would do with them. The DIY tutorial video for them was simple as pie to do...




First, I had to break part of clip-on off ( which was not easy) and glue the ring post on. I got my ring post from other rings I that I own and never wear....
I loveeee this one....
And here is the other one....
I playing around with making some hoops also. My Wal-Mart has a new craft section full of beads and jewelry making items. Its a God send since the nearest Michaels, Jo-Ann, and Hobby Lobby are 45 minutes away. I literally picked up these beads and stones for like $1-$3 a bag....The rumor is that Walmart is replacing their fabric sections too.
I've been wanting a pair of white earrings all summer....And I would make them at the end of August....but we got summer to at least November here. lol

I saw this combination of wood, diamonds, and turquoise on a jewelry site and that was my inspiration for this pair.....

Did anyone do any DIY projects this weekend????
