DIY Galaxy leggings and ombre shirt

Hiiyaah! It's been quite awhile since I blogged. Been really busy. Anyway, I wanted to share something.




Once upon a time, I was bored, so I made these. The end. haha Kidding. But no really, I was bored that time and was not in the mood to do the things that I really had to. Procrastinating, I decided to make myself some DIY stuff.

Galaxy leggings:
I took an old pair of leggings (should be dark-colored), bleach, blue and yellow dyes, gloves and a spray bottle (should be bottles for each of the liquid materials but we only had one).




First, line your floor with old newspapers to prevent having a lot of mess. Don gloves. Then I put some bleach into the container and started spraying it on the leggings. Remember, we wanna create a galaxy-like image so concentrate your sprays on some areas that you would have some circular patterns. These will be your nebulas. Next, open your spray bottle with bleach and using the stem of the spray, splatter some bleach randomly. These will serve as your stars. Lastly, spray the blue dye around the outer part, and the yellow dye at the center of each nebula. Voila! You now have your own galaxy leggings. Just remember to be as imaginative and creative as you can be. :)

Ombre top:
Grabbed an unused loose red shirt, turned it inside out bec of the print, cut the sleeves, the collar line and the edge of the lower part out. Soaked the upper part into a deep blue dye for a night. Washed it out the next day. Sewed to fit the upper part coz it kinda showed my upper undergarment. Ta-daaaah!


Coincidentally, our University General Assembly was themed "GAlaxy" so I wore it then. What DIYs have you made recently?:D Do share!:)

PS= sorry for the low quality photos :(

Bunnie day

"I hereby declare today as Bunnie Day," said Me. :)) It was the 3rd of July then (super late post, I know!). Had a date with Bunnie and family (minus Mum). We were supposed to watch The Amazing Spiderman but we went there at a wrong time, and my brother's girlfriend had to go home early. We just ate and shopped instead (oh the happiness when daddy's around with his card!:))))). La-di-da.

Bunnie and I, well, we didn't prepare anything special. There's a story to that. n__n Oh well.

This is what I wore on that Bunnie Day.

Wore a red Zara Sleeveless top, with my old pair of Next Jeans black shorts. Since we were supposed to go to the movie house, I wore that off white blazer. Paired the out fit with bunny accessories (bag, earrings, necklace). I wish I had a bunny bracelet too!:D

Since I cannot put 4 pictures in Lookbook, I edited the photo (from Instagram) and cropped off the close up on the bag. Don't hesitate to hype up!:D xxoo

Downplay

This time around, I had to "downplay" my outfit. We were scheduled for a retreat, and knowing one of the facilitators, I went for a simple everyday look. But the facilitator still caught my attention bec the back portion showed some skin. whoooopsie. Sorry.

Those mustard yellow Primma Donna flats are just adorable! They were the replacement flats my father bought me. Remember Lemon Toes Woes? (http://jonnienavarro.blogspot.com/2012/06/lemon-toes-woes.html) that embarrassing moment. hihi Anyhooo, since I wore them for the first time then, my ankles were a little sore bec of the friction from the shoes. But those flats just finished the laid back look I was aiming for.Worth the pain --,



Nineteen--

I came up with this blog mainly to express my love for fashion but it's been awhile since I've posted outfit shots. So I took time to compile the recent photos I got. Forgive my vanity. errm wait, aren't all fashion bloggers vain? I mean we take pictures of ourselves A LOT in order to call ourselves that right? unless we want to post about other people's fashion? hmmm. Anyway, regardless,first up: Nineteen--
I named it as such to convey the theme of a classic look, 19__, then insert the specific year you would want it to be in. Like 1980s, or 90s. or whatever. :)) and that's my age number too! --, Alright, I was bored so go figure. :D

This look I came up with when I was again invited to be a godmother. Unfortunately, I had assessment duty at the exact same time of the Christening. I didn't want to say no so I went to the hospital and brought with me my outfit. I also didn't want to bring bulky stuff so I decided to a one-piece get up. My cousin gave this to me a few weeks ago and it was the perfect fit for the event.
