Fashion tags and straps!

The Charming Jorjah-B tagged me for this fun Fashion tag:



the tag is ALWAYS & NEVERS

• list "5 fashion always-es"
{things you always like or cannot do without}
for you personally
• conversely, list "5 fashion nevers"
{things you would not be caught dead in}
for you personally
• then tag 3 bloggers



always:

  1. My Diesel Prairie boots. I never got why females were so into boots until I bought these. They go with EVERYTHING and are so insanely comfortable.
  2. My Matt and Nat bag. It's textually interesting and has so many pockets, I love pockets!
  3. Black tights. I know this is a bit boring but they're so easy and so put together that if I did not have these, I would have to expedite my search for the perfect jeans. (I still have to do that!)
  4. A splash of jewelry. I only wear one thing at a time, be it earrings or necklaces, I like simple details that peek out. Not the slap you in the face kind.
  5. Red nail polish. I have a terrible habit of letting them perish for weeks and weeks on my nails but I'm too lazy to repaint.



never:

  1. High waisted pants. I'm such a restriction phobe, I hate anything tight around my midsection.
  2. Mini skirts. The stigma that comes with a mini skirt is too much to handle plus you have to have great legs!
  3. Strapless tops/dresses. I don't have anything to hold up those strapless clothing and so to avoid public humiliation, I don't do strapless!
  4. Denim on top and denim on bottom. Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
  5. A visor. Enough said!!


I request to know the fashion dos and don'ts of:

Kate of Hello Lindello
Sarasophia
Sayo of Sarustar Jewelry





Last night, I worked on the reconstruction vintage dress. I took bits off the sleeve to make the straps of the dress. I wanted to braid the floral faric with some off white fabric for the straps to add some texture to it. Here is one strap:

I can't wait till I get to piece it all together, bit by bit!

Haha, I used to work at a retail store and women would grab a pair of jeans and procede to ask if we had any matching denim jackets. The ol' denim suit...when will people learn :p
