DIY Ugly Christmas Sweater

DIY Ugly Christmas Sweater
The holiday parties are rolling in and everyone is hosting 'Ugly Christmas Sweater' parties. If you are like me when invited to an Ugly Christmas Sweater party I thought of ways to make my sweater cute. Something I could wear within my wardrobe anytime of year. So its safe to say I was not going to win ugliest sweater contest. But if you have been invited to a Ugly Christmas Sweater party here's a DIY to help save you time and money. You can even have a DIY Ugly Christmas Sweater party before the party. 

What you need:
  1. A Sweater
  2. Dimensional Fabric Paint
  3. Beads
  4. Ribbon
  5. Glue
  6. Thread & Needle
  7. Iron
  8. Iron-on Christmas Patches & Letters
  9. Any other items you can securely add to your sweater to make it UGLY!
Step 1: Think of a message or word you'd want on your sweater and then either iron on the letters or write them out with the fabric paint and let dry.

Step 2:  Add any and every object (ribbons, lights, beads, random Christmas themed objects)  you can securely add without it falling off with glue or needle & thread and watch your sweater transform.

Step 3: If you are still stuck at step one and need some ideas click here.  You should be able to find one that's cool and fit your style and personality.

If you just don't have the time or patience to make your own of course there are ones you can buy. Find some below!

The Look for Less: Stuart Weitzman


Look for Less Stuart Weitzman
It's almost winter and time to pull out your boots. I used to hate boots that reach higher than my calf until recently. I purchased a pair of over the knee boots and they are so comfy and they are almost identical to the Stuart Weiztman Lowland boots. Check them out below and a few cheaper alternatives below!

    The Look For Less: Valentino

    Look for Less: Valentino 
    This month's look for less is a Valentino trainer look-a-like. I've see the Valentino shoes on a few fashion bloggers that I follow on Instagram. I came across the look for less while doing some personal shopping for a client and was baffled by how close they look to each other and the HUGE difference in price.  Check out were to buy them below. The trainers come in tan, blush and sand.



    P.S. There's also a similar version at UrbanOG.
