Hi everyone- Hope you are all enjoying your summer while it lasts. Before you know it we’ll be in Fall! I love to buy a piece that I can wear over and over again and come up with different ideas each time I wear it. Those pieces always end up being worth every cent and lasting for season after season.
This Rick Owens long silk skirt is definitely one of those kinds of pieces. It is lovely and slimming but doesn’t get stuck in one category: I can transform it from a cocktail dinner outfit to one I wear for a casual lunch.
Today, I’m wearing this silky skirt pared down with a super simple tee and it’s a perfect combo for a casual dinner or lunch. I love to take something fancy from my closet and pair it with the simplest item to make it more casual and wearable. Thanks for reading everyone and have a wonderful day! Xo Nini
Hope you are all well. The home improvement project is finally done. Whewwwww!! I wear my cut-off shorts all the time but this is only the 2nd time that I took photos of them for the blog. I like to wear them for running errands and for going out to grab a burger with Loc on a Friday night. I normally style it w/ a loose white T or with a shirt that buttons down and usually tuck the top in. The outfit has a grunge feel to it but remains polished based on the top and the accessories you add. Thanks for reading everyone and have a fantastic day! xo Nini
Hello everyone! I hope you are all well. I want to share with you a little DIY project that I did recently. I had a great little Zara jacket that I wanted to play with and the Chanel backless jacket that Miroslava Duma wore inspired the project. I couldn’t stop thinking about how much I love the look of a tweed jacket with an open back. I took a little risk and went into my closet looking for a piece I could cut to create this look. I thought my Zara jacket would be fun to turn into a back-less number. You always can look for a vintage tweed jacket for this DIY project. Have a great day everyone!! xo Nini
Inspiration:
Step 1: Get your supplies: some pins, a ruler or tape measure and chalk or a light colored high-lighter, needle and some threads.
Step 2: Decide on how much you want to cut off. If you see yourself wearing the jacket with low waisted pants, it should cut below the waist. I wanted the jacket just above my waist for outfits with high-waisted skirts or shorts.
Step 3: Pin it. I always concentrate on making sure all the seams are even and after double checking, I cut.
Step 4: Sewing the seams. You can hand-stitch the seam back yourself or sew it with a sewing machine. You can have the option of a clean finish hem or let them distressed
