Tweed Urban blazer, Light nude Marshall's dress, Beige BCBG pumps, Marc Jacobs necklace and watch

Mirror Update
My mom was planning to give away a mirror we have in the guest room (my room while I'm home), but instead I thought I could update it by painting ...
The only tricky part was the hooks, which I needed to remove and fill in the holes. It ended up being pretty simple though, I just used dry wall filler.
Just sanded, filled holes with dry wall filler, covered the mirror and spray painted. I think it turned out pretty well! (I did not do a good job of taking step by step pictures, I'm still learning)
Final product
New Year, New Commitment
Fortunately, I have done a better job of doing my projects than blogging about them! So, I will slowly start to post about those. And since the likelihood of this being for anyone more than myself is seeming less and less, I'm going to broaden the scope to include fashions I like, new outfits ideas and basically anything else that comes to mind...

Blog. Blog. Blog.
I got inspired to take sewing lessons when I was in Australia, which for a number of reasons involving scheduling problems and laziness never happened.
Finally, as I spent this summer at my parents house and really needed to get a hobby (aka life) I finally bought a sewing machine and decided to teach myself. Of course this means more trials and tribulations than if I had taken classes, but it's more me anyway. As I researched sewing projects, I couldn't help but discover many more DIY sites which really started to peak my interest. So, I've really taken that on as well.
But I think it could not have come at a better time. I finished school, I'm looking for a job and trying to transition back into the real world as an actual adult (not the early 20s version of adulthood I enjoyed for a while). And that's what's this blog is meant to be. The story of me trying to become a sewer and DIY-er and to hopefully to transition into these new hobbies as I transition into my new life. Hopefully, the excitement and frusteration and life lessons that come with the transition in my life on a broader level and as a new sewing/DIY enthusiast will develop into a story worth reading. And if not, at least I'll hopefully have some clothes and things to furnish my apt with (whenever it is I finally get out of my parents house).
