Style Bloggers Go To Home Depot Too!

I had to take a day off from chasing butterflies and sashaying among the lillies to take my outfit pics. I wish I lived the life a real style blogger. You know...the one that attends all of the cool fashion shows and just so happens to get photographed by The Sartorialist as they cross street to eat scones and tea.

But this style blogger...she has to go Home Depot to get her thrills.

I'm in the process of reorganizing the whole house and couldn't put off going to my own personal hell  Home Depot any longer. As I died on the inside shopped for exciting fashionable things like wood glue, fertilizer and a garbage disposal, I decided why not show you real life.

Today my real life took me to Home Depot and this is how I dress to go on such an adventure. Not true. I didn't just go to Home Depot in this...I went to Lowe's too.

I take the whole DIY blogger title seriously!

I promise you this is NOT the same black dress from the previous post. I promise.

And while I'm in full disclosure mode...that clutch I'm rocking...it's really a pillowcase!

SWEAR!

 Maxi Dress: Marshall's

Scarf: Zara

Clutch...It's really a pillowcase!

Shoes: Target

The Easiest DIY on Earth

I've been wanting to pull this "Cheryl Cole" look off for a while. I am kind of obsessed with all things "flashdance", trench coats and spring...in no particular order.

I thrifted this men's sweatshirt and decided to DIY it instead of trying to buy one. I think I cut the "neck" too wide...but it's a DIY sweatshirt...who cares? Not me.

I threw on a knit hat (too dark to tell), chunky earrings and my Pour La Victoire heels:)

JCP Cargo Pants

How did I do?

(Cheryl Cole...thanks to Erin...I know who she is:)

THANK GOD FOR THE WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!!

What Do I Spy?

DVF inspires a DIY. I was trolling around shopbop.com the other day perusing the new shoes that are trickling in for Spring 2011 when I came across these.

Diane Von Furstenberg - Eva

The Eva scarf tie platform sandal will set you back a whopping $275 but why blow almost $300 when all it takes to transform a pair of shoes you already own is a length of satin ribbon. And I've got just the pair I'm going to DIY. Now all I've got to do is find the matching ribbon. To the fabric store I go.
