What a long day! It took us a while to get up and moving today. Eventually we headed down to the Short North for Gallery Hop. It was pretty decent weather, but the humidity was insane. We stopped in quite a few of the new galleries and boutiques tonight. Do you know what that means? I have tons of new DIY ideas!
This top was part of yesterday's thrift haul. It actually started out as a really awful bodysuit, but was pretty easy to turn into this cute cropped sheer top. When I saw it, I immediately though of this image that I reblogged quite a while ago on my Tumblr:
You can't tell from the photo, but the idea is basically the same. The blouse is totally sheer except for the collar and chest pockets. It's perfect. The photo above is obviously from a runway. Does anyone know the designer or show? I'd like to give the "inspiration" the proper credit!
Since I purchased this small 90s leather backpack a few months ago, I've become mildly obsessed with similar styles. When I was in the third grade (mid-90s), I had a purple mini pack with brown suede details. I used to carry my Disney Pocahontas markers in it around school. I was really cool, obviously.
We heard fireworks tonight but didn't see any. There's a parade happening in Columbus this Monday, so I think we're going to check that out. We're also expecting some thrift stores to have Independence Day sales. So what are you plans for the rest of the weekend?

ReplyDelete@Cas — I've been seeing more of them in thrift shops lately. It looks like some people are getting rid of them just when they're "coming back in"!!
