ootd: i LOVE to shop YOUR closet

i am wearing: striped dress from h&m, chambray shirt from jcrew, aryn k khaki military jacket, knot ring & necklace are from target, coach bag, thrifted belt and cole haan cheetah print flats. diy rattlesnake mani details below.

ok, lets just talk about my rattlesnake mani for a minute!!! i read a tweet on twitter about a mani using REAL rattlesnake skin that was like $300 or something insane (ok, maybe not that much). so i thought i would try to re-create it with my new nail stamp kit! what do you think??? i started with a gold polish called “gilty pleasure” by sally hansen and then added a light coat of opi’s black shatter polish. then i used the fishnet stamp with white polish to create the “faux snakeskin” look. might be my new favorite mani. but enough about that…you see the striped shirt up there in my ootd pics??? well, it’s actually a dress but it’s just a tad too short for me but it ended up being perfect to wear over leggings! and the BEST part about it is that i bought it from this bloggers closet. i am addicted to shopping bloggers closets so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me who your fave closets to shop are in the comments! i added the feature to my blog but am lagging on adding items…but i promise it’s in the works!

    I love the idea of “shop my closet”, but I haven’t added it to my blog yet because I’ve gotten so used to selling all my things on eBay. Also, most of the people I buy clothes from are on eBay, too! Anxious to see your things, though! ;)

    I never would have thought of that combination for your mani!! It looks amazing!!

    Your outfit has to be one of my favorites so far. I love the layers!! [& you may have introduced me to a terrible, terrible thing!! haha. I went and bought like 3 things from her !! Adorable stuff & you can't beat the prices.] I may have to look into doing something like that. I’ve also seen sites that have a “swap shop” which could be a good idea too! So maybe if I ever figure out how to do all of these fun things with my blog.. Do they make a “Blogging for Dummies” book?? haha.

  6. Love the outfit, and of course the mani! The jacket looks great with the belt over it. I will have to try to remember to do that when the weather gets colder here in Florida! Think I’m going to have to play with my konad stamper today and take some pictures. I MUST try the snakeskin look!
