Overall skirt project *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

 Hi!! Today I DIY'ed an overall skirt (✿◠‿◠)  I'm still in my blue obsession, and i've been interested in Swankiss style a lot as well. 

I had this denim overall skirt in my closet and I thought it would be the perfect chance to use this seashell patch I've had for a while! 

This DIY was pretty quick and easy. I ironed on the shell and then decided it would look cuter with a bow on the top! I wanted the tails of the bow to frame the shell, and I chose a shiny sheer ribbon since it worked with the dreamy iridescent theme. 

I trimmed the ends of the ribbon and tacked it down by hand sewing it at several points so it doesn't unravel. 

We went to a burger place this evening with some of my husbands friends who have become my friends as well (▰˘◡˘▰) I was so happy that they had dairy free milkshakes!!

Make photos!! I used a new eyeshadow palette. I've never really experimented with bright shadows before. I went for a purple and teal eye look since I wanted to have mermaid vibes. I don't know if I really liked that combo though, I might do purple and blue next time?? I've been reading Saaya Hayashida's blog for inspo, since her eye make was actually super bright even though it's filtered to look pale on her blog. I found swatches and photos of the palette she used, and got one as close as possible to that!! 

This is the final outfit! I think it turned out so cute, and I'm happy I have cute compression socks as well since I have to wear them for medical reasons. 

That's all for today!! Tomorrow I'm going out to find a full length mirror that's better for photos than this one. I want to add some decorations to it. I'm hoping to do something like this, but not with flowers the whole way around. 

Tenshi Kaiwai DIY

 Hello! Today I wanted to show you my tenshi kaiwai ("angel neighbor" if you aren't familiar with it) DIY projects so far (✿◠‿◠) 

｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆　　 ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆

Tenshi has a lot of tech elements, like motifs of video game graphics. I wanted to make a tshirt design that was both airy and ethereal as well as bringing in the tech aspect. I've been inspired by both Swankiss style and tenshi kaiwai, and I thought it would be really cute to combine my inspirations for this project! I decided on a cloud pattern using rhinestones. I made the clouds identical and inspired by pixel art and emojis to bring in the tech aspect. 

This is what it looked like with the first cloud done! 

I got to wear it to a virtual tea party ≧◡≦ I'm really happy with how it turned out! 

Next up is my tote bag! 

This was my inspo for this project! They didn't have a blue one, plus I wanted to add a few things, so I decided to make my own version. 

My finished "Maison de Rae" bag (▰˘◡˘▰) I made the bows and hand stitched them on, and the cinna and letters are iron ons! 

Continuing my t-shirt trend, I wanted to make a shirt with the wing pattern I see in a lot of tenshi kaiwai stuff, like ACDC rag. First I laid out the rhinestones with a large design in the center of the shirt, but I didn't like it ●︿● It took me I think 2 hours to lay out properly after I had adjusted everything to make it perfect, but I felt like it looked too much like a kid's shirt or something. 

My second idea was so much better! I really like how this turned out. The rhinestone tool made it really easy as well, since I had the tool in one hand and the glue in the other. These take a lot of time to lay our properly even with my stencils, but I really think it's worth it ♥‿♥ I am planning on using this pattern again for a sweatshirt!
