Hyped for striped

Like many of you, I'm really getting into stripes, but I don't own very many striped pieces. And I've had problems finding stripes that I like in my local stores. Just for fun, I put together a collection I like.

A quick fix

Do you ever have trouble with that dreaded button down shirt gaping at the bustline? Speaking of button downs, I read at another site that the proper term is button front instead of button down. Button down is a man's button front shirt with a button down collar. Now that we know the proper terminology, let's address that problem. Trust me, it's not just a problem for large busted women- I have that problem too and I'd hardly say I'm large busted. And sometimes it's not just an ill fit. I have a shirt that otherwise fits fine, but gaps in the wrong place.

The fix

Dritz tape

You can also use this to hold straps in place or fix hems temporarily.

What quick fashion fixes do you have? I'd love to hear.

Hope you have a great weekend.

Just for fun

Since I cannot get a photo taken every single day, I know there may come a time when I run out of photos to post. I thought it would also be fun to add some other stuff to this blog besides photos of my outfits ( and the mixing of other material will make the outfit photos go further.) I'm going to make Fridays "just for fun". I may share things I'd like to have or beauty tips I've found- beauty or fashion related, but not an outfit.

For the first Friday of my new series, I'm sharing a diy eye make up remover I shared over on my craft blog.

I found this tutorial at adelynSTONE one day for DIY eye makeup remover. So I tried it out.

Here are the ingredients:

1 C water
1½ TBSP Baby Shampoo (tear free)
⅛ TSP Baby Oil (Cocunut Oil or Olive Oil)

I poured mine into my old bottle of remover (and the leftovers into a small glass bowl with a lid.)

I'm pleased with the results.

I know that some say not to use baby oil on your eyelids. There is such a small amount in this it is barely noticable.

Have you got any tips to share?
