wearing: a diy peplum top

What do you do when you get an article of clothing that fits pretty well, but is see-through or the wrong color or something? You dye it, duh.

I was forever looking for a white peplum shirt and got one from ASUS that fit well, but it was so see through and any tanks underneath looked ridiculous. When I realized it was too late to return it, I decided to just try and dye it.

Even though the threading didn't change colors, I love the way it turned out! And now I think I'll become addicted to dying things custom colors.

I still can't decide if the peplum shape is flattering or not on me. Honest opinions are very welcome. 

Also... I'm trying to get every last day out of tanks before I have to start pairing them with jackets every day. That's annoying.

wearing: glam'd up and casual peplum

The single worst part about working on Friday nights is having to get ready without knowing what I'm doing after work. I go in around 2 or 3, and try to wear something nice enough for a DC bar, but casual enough for something around the bars in my 'hood.

Last Friday I was excited to finally have a white peplum top that [mostly] fit well. I've been trying to find one for a while and ordered a few from Asos with no luck. Charlotte Russe came through with a textured, open back version that I'm fairly obsessed with. I decided to focus on the back and braid up the back of my hair with a little poof and messy bun.

This angle makes my boobs look a solid two cups larger and I'm not mad about it. 

The bra was my DIY elasti-strap bra! It gave me some back fat I wasn't happy about but I guess that's another sign to get my ass in the gym.

It was pretty messy... maybe messier than I had hoped, but when you're doing a dutch braid upside down, things get tricky. 

Do you like it when people point out how "fancy" you are dressed that day? I'm guilty of doing it to other people, but I really hate it when people say it to me. Why? I have no idea... but I felt awkward all day when people were complimenting me. 

...especially because I had no reason for it. I ended up just going home to prepare for a long Saturday. *sigh*
