the power of a bow

there's something about bows that make things more feminine. lately i've been too lazy to wash my mane of hair. it takes so long to dry & too much effort to make it look semi-decent, so i've been doing this familiar top-knot that you see everywhere. i added a bow to dress said top-knot ^^ up & i immediately felt prettier. this hair-do is so easy & comfy, i just threw on an oversized sweater & a pair of ripped boyfriend jeans, because no matter what you wear, a bow will make it look better. right? i'm choosing to believe that. 

thank you bow for helping me & my lack of effort to look nice. you really do make things appear more dainty & girly. 

i like dainty & girly. 

diy heart jeans

made these earlier last week. i first wanted to put the hearts on a pair of tights, but that would have required me wearing them while i drew the hearts -- & that would have been an awkward act. so i thought a pair of skinny jeans would do the trick.

what you will need:

- - pair of jeans

- - ruler

- - heart stencil

- - white chalk marker

 with your ruler {in my case i used a tape measurer. the ruler was missing}, measure
four inch gaps & mark them with a dot.

 parallel with the first column of dots, measure another column of four inch gaps & mark with. 

to create a "random" but neat looking pattern, in the middle of four dots mark 

another dot & from there measure four inch gaps.

 after all dots are marked, place the tip of your heart stencil on the dot.

 begin filling in the stencil with your chalk marker.

repeat until you've reached the bottom of your jeans. 

touch up any edges. let it dry.

then voila'! simple enough. i wore these three times before washing. normally i only wear jeans twice before a wash, but since it took me some time & effort to make these suckers, i thought another day wouldn't hurt. the hearts come right off in the wash. i washed them like normal, along with a load of other clothes. so no need to worry about it getting on other stuff, because it won't!
