Spiked up and studded...not entirely

Ethel purchased a leather biker jacket from forever 21 and added spikes to the shoulders for a more punted out look. Enjoy! S/o to forever21

Wednesday/Wendy collar?

Ethel had a black cowl collar dress with some rips. Not only did she repair the tears but she pleated up the cowl and made a white Peter Pan collar, which in the end reminded both of us of Wednesday Addams. Et voila!



Not so long leggings

So Ethel was looking at multiple fashion websites (due to boredom I'm sure) and came across two kinds of leggings. First are the garter leggings; with a pair of black spandex cotton leggings and four suspenders clips she began with her scissors and went on over to the sewing machine and bam! Next are less galaxy leggings. We know those are everywhere so spare the comments tan pri...dismount mèsi. she got two pairs of black cotton leggings in case you didn't gather that. She sat down longer than the garters, and took some sponges and pink and blue fabric paint. And to finish it off she sprayed white acrylic paint for the stars. Check 'em out. 

Crossed tee

This shirt belongs to Ethel actually but she's shy af and karma was on a roll anyway. This is an old high low tee shirt, with white fabric paint and bleach sprayed on using masking tape as a stencil of some sorts to make the cross.


Le random OOTD

So this is the outfit karma ended up with after the most abstract photo shoot she's ever been to. Lolz

Veterans vest

A first, this denim vest was just a boring ol' jean jacket with a yellow ribbon pin on it. Until a rip appeared on a sleeve. And I thought,"hey! Vest....veteran?" And I wasn't done with the bleach (see Aztec shorties) so out came the scissors and the bucket. The yellow ribbon pin didn't seem out of place so we kept it as is. Oh and I took the fabric marker and went Haam >;) lookin like a BAMF if I might say so myself teehee




ToughArm candy

A little arm candy for the urban cowgirl [on a budget] never hurt nobody. These bracelets are literally leather scraps and twine....like manman always says, "fè l 'pou ou"

Aztec shorties

These snazzy Aztec shorties (yes we call them shorties) are inspired by crazy patterns we've been seeing everywhere for about $45. It inspired us to make some of our own. Lolz
Amazing what some old jeans, scissors, bleach, and [black] fabric paint can do when you have an idea and an empty pocket.
