A couple WIW's! DIY chain shoulder sweater

I wore the green sweater i added chains to, to work on Monday. I wanted to get a picture with my hand on my hip so you could see the chains drape better but my camera died before i got a chance. :( Another time i guess!

The second outfit it what i'm wearing today. As you can see we got some snow fall but it really isn't too cold outside! Yay! I'm so done with winter. >.>

Also! I have a blog now. @_@ I decided to make a place where the things i make on Etsy, the things i sell on Ebay and the outfits i wear all meet up. I would love for you to follow it if you would like because so far almost no one is. XD It's so lonely. http://nickichicki-nickichicki.blogspot.com

Thanks for looking and as always feel free to make any comment that pops into your pretty little heads!

A bit of what i've been up to through photos

I know i've been missing on the forum for a little bit. I try to not spend a ton of time on the computer when i am home and i primarily get my internet browsing done on my phone when i'm...not at home. I am pretty obsessed with Instagram-ing everything so i thought i'd share some of the things i've been up to while i've been away!

1. Macaroons!
2. Making California Rolls!
3. Thrifted Jewelry find
4. New salt & pepper shakers XD
5. My little guy <3
6. Some nail "art"
7. A self photo on a very slow day at the office... >.>
8. Another one of my hobbies. Making "bento" style lunches for my son.

I hope this was mildly interesting to you...and if anyone loves Instagram please let me know your user name so i can follow you!

Going a little grunge...

I've had this skirt for awhile and have wore it a lot this fall/winter but this is the first time i've been able to take a picture! I had wanted a plaid maxi skirt ever since i saw an outrageously expensive one by L.A.M.B, tried on one at Forever21 and put it back and then came across this one at Goodwill that fit me perfect! I love it when that happens.

To help offset the covered up, a bit grungy look i have going on i put my hair up (as much of a bun as my hair can currently make anyway), did up my makeup and added a pretty raspberry lip and a heeled boot rather than flat.

Black fringe scarf - H&M
Black faux leather jacket - Target
Black destroyed high-low sweater - F21
Plaid maxi skirt - thrifted vintage
Black heeled ankle boots - H&M
Lipstick - Mac "Rebel" (way more vampy than it shows here)
Giant Heart Ring - F21
Silver choker you can't see - F21
Black faux fur purse - Vintage

Thanks for looking! I know this style won't appeal to everyone but i felt really happy in my outfit today. :)

Maroon faux fur + getting over mixing brown & black

I have a mental hang up when it comes to mixing brown and black. I know it can be done and i even like the look of the colors together yet when i put together an outfit that has black in it i always pass over brown pieces in favor of more black unless the item already mixes brown and black for me. It's also kept me from adding more brown to my wardrobe. But no more! I like brown, i look good in brown, i'm hereby pledge to start mixing with abandon!

Brown shearling coat - H&M
Maroon faux fur scarf - Asos
Taupe shirt - Target
Brown fingerless gloves - Nickichicki ;)
Black pants - Urban Outfitters
Black combat boots - F21

I've been wearing these boots a lot because they have a good solid tread on them and wouldn't you know it i totally biffed it on some ice in the school parking lot today. So much for that. -_-

Team Stripes, Team Blue, Team...Ridiculous Earrings?

I wore this today to run some errands. I love this cardigan because of it's beautiful blue color, pretty cables and because it is the 2nd warmest sweater i own. It's seriously warmer than some of my "winter" coats are. Which is rather sad to think about.

Anywho I picked up these crazy, long ombre tassel earrings awhile back and this is my first time wearing them. They're super fun but i think will be even better when my hair is just a tad bit longer.

Ready for the list? (because i'm always wearing like a thousand things at once :D )

Blue cardigan: Old Navy
Striped top: F21
Silver glitter belt: thrifted
High waist denim shorts: H&M
Black sweater tights: Target
Blue striped socks: Asos
Black combat boots: Goodwill
Ombre tassel earrings: Target
Giant heart ring: F21
Faux fur bag: Vintage

I think that's it! Thanks for looking!
