Bag Lady

HI!!

So I wanted to update you all on my new project.... Handmade Bags!

My lovely mother bought me a new sewing machine and saved me from having to hand stitch everything (thanks Mom!).

The sewing machine is a Singer 2263; super easy to maneuver and thread! I am totally in love.

As you all know, I have a deeply rooted passion for thrifting. Surprisingly, I found yards of beautiful fabrics there. I picked up three yards of denim, two yards of Burnt Coral corduroy and two yards of neon yellow rayon for about $12!! I also bought a bag of vintage buttons for $4.99.

Anywho, check out the pictures!

Nifty Thrifty Night Swirl

I wanted to post a look with items from my favorite place: the thrift store =)

The top is a rather large, flowy top. It buttons down and features beautiful swirls of animal print and flowers. I am a huge fan of large tops made of lighter textured materials; they can be worn with virtually any type of bottom (skirts, shorts, relaxed or tightly fitting jeans, leggings, etc.). This top was a must have for me at only $1.95.

The bag is thrifted as well. It is a clutch with a shoulder chain option. The bag features flat black sequins and gold toned hardware. I love it! This bag was a steal at only $4.

(My jeans in this picture are Relaxed Skinnies from Levis.com- $32.)
