Computer Problems :(

So, you guys might be wondering why Kaitlyn hasn't posted anything lately. Well, she is having computer problems, so she won't be able to post anything until next week. She might be able to figure out a way to use her mom's computer, but until then, you'll just have to endure my postings. ;) -Lynn

25 Ways to Wear a Scarf!

Hey everyone! So if you know me, I'm kind of obsessed with scarves. :) I love this video, because it teaches you 25 different ways to wear a scarf. So, if you love scarves, like me, then you should watch this!  -Lynn :)

t-shirt scarf tutorial

Hey everyone! This is a really easy tutorial on how to make a scarf, like the one pictured above, using a t-shirt. I didn't want to make a whole other scarf just for this tutorial, because I already have two, so instead I just edited a picture of a plain t-shirt using Picnik. Scroll down and you'll understand. :)

Supplies Needed: A large or x-large t-shirt, and fabric scissors.

Cut a straight horizontal line right under the armpits in your t-shirt, then cut off the bottom hem. You should have a tube of fabric.

Fold the tube in half, top to bottom.

Cut about 4" to 5" long slits, about 3/4 inch apart, along the cut edge, not the folded edge.


Now, unfold the tube and you can either drape it around your neck like an infinity scarf, or you can cut a line through the top layer of fabric so you have one long piece of fabric, like a normal scarf (that's what I did).

Enjoy your new scarf!   -Lynn :)

Where We Will Be This Weekend...

Hey!
So this weekend, Lynn & I are going to a church event and will have no access to a computer. We will be taking a bunch of pictures and videos while we are there, and do a huge blog thing on Sunday! :) So don't be discouraged if you don't see anything from us all weekend, we will have a BLOG POST MANIA on Sunday! :)
Love,

Outfit of the Day.

Hey! So I know Lynn uploaded  an outfit of the day earlier, but we decided we would put them up on the same days! :) I got my boots from American Eagle they were about $25. I wore blue jeans, of course, then I wore a brownish-gray tribal print cropped top with a white tank top under it. I got that from TJ Maxx for about $10. For my hair, I curled it with my curling iron by wrapping my hair around the barrel (not using the clamp) and brushed my curls out in the end. :) By the way, I did the top picture for Lynn...(it's an inside joke.)

Love,

Kaitlyn (:

Outfit of the Day

Hey! So, this is actually what I wore yesterday, but oh well. :) My top was a hand-me-down, in other words, I have no idea where it came from. My ankle boots are Steve Madden, got them from Dillard's. My head band is from Joann ($1!) and I clipped on some flowers I got from Claire's. Then, of course, jeans! By the way, Lucy (my sister) took all of my pictures.  -Lynn :)

Outfit of the Day.

So I know this picture isn't very descriptive of my outfit, but oh well, I'll explain it best I can. First, my sweater. I have no idea where it came from, but it has buttons all the way down and is kind of military style. Then I added a multi-color floral type scarf. I got it from TJ-Maxx. This made my outfit a lot less boring and added a huge pop of color(s) to it. Then I wore these black heeled boots. I got these from Walmart and wear them everywhere. They are actually knee-highs but I decided to wear them without tucking my jeans in today. And of course blue jeans to complete the whole look. Next time it will be  more descriptive I promise!
