On Sunday, I decided to finally catch up on my sewing project today since I was free. I was supposed to head out but really didn't want to move :( *superlazy* I originally wanted to make a peter pan collar top but it messed up and things went wrong so I decided to  rip the collar off and just make a plain, cropped navy shirt. I plan on wearing it with a chunky necklace or some statement pants/skirt. I'm also going to make a separate detachable collar so I can have the best of both worlds :)

I'm quite pleased with the fit since I drafted the pattern on my own haha. I just traced around an existing top but altered it slightly so I guess that still counts right? I was going to make a tutorial but since it didn't go exactly to plan, I spent most of my time furiously ripping out thread and forgot to take more pictures. I'll upload a photo of me wearing it soon. I've got a few more projects that I want to do but I'm a seriously slow sewer mainly because things don't ever turn out the same way I plan so 80% of the time is spent on ripping seams, and starting again. *Images are my own unless specified otherwise, please do not copy.

Week in pictures-Thursday and Friday

Woahhhhh, how fast has the week gone? Last Thursday I was like, I need to make a blog post but I'm too busy so I need to make it up on Friday and then Friday I did the same, pushing everything back a WHOLE WEEK! So I'm playing catch up. Two days condensed into one post. I am determined to document a whole week, in whatever way possible.

I literally rushed out of the house and took about 20min to get ready. So in a blind panic I just grabbed whatever from the fridge. Another yoghurt.

Wore my new shoes but felt slightly weird with white shoes.Plus it started raining and the shoes kept getting raindrops on which made it look like it was getting mud on it. Meh, feels like a bad buy :(.

Watched UP! Oh My Gawd. Bad decision. I was crying within the first five minutes. Then again half an hour in. And then at the end. It was just a non stop cry fest. Such a touching film.

Woke up early for work but was late I can't even remember why. My face was swollen from "Up!" and my eyes were all puffy so I looked an absolute state.

Put on some lipstick because to prevent myself looking like a complete ghost.

I painted my nails with Sinful Colours nail polish. I only put on 2 light coats so it was pretty light. It looks kind of pastel-y but I like it. I think it looks best with a black base coat though.

Finally bought some essential strappy vests, I put off doing so for soooo long that I avoided wearing all my white/cream chiffon clothing haha. Blogging is hard :( Plus the way that blogger makes it hard to organise the positions of my photos makes it harder. grrrrrr.

Week in pictures-Monday

I am a massive lover of photography and finally invested in a DSLR after contemplating for years. Sadly, I haven't even put it to much good use and it's been sitting on a shelf, gathering dust. :(
So no more abandonment dear camera! I shall use it to document days in my life, no matter how mundane, because I want to look back on this blog someday and be like "Oh, that was a good day!".

My day off so I may have slept in until 12am...Annnnyway, woke up and had like 3 packs of this sushi that they sell in a nearby supermarket. Not the most authentic but 'twas cheap, can't complain.

Admired my orchids for a while. When I bought it, the white one looked really sad and my mum was like it's probably not going to make it so just leave it. But because it was so pretty and I was determined to nurse it back to health I bought it back and gave it some TLC and voila! My baby's all good! I think I surprised everyone because the last time I had a plant in my room, it went from healthy to clutching on for dear life because I forgot to water it. But this time, I showed them ;)

 Then I watched a bit of 500 Days of Summer . I recently read a snippet of an interview with JGL where he gave his explanation of the film and it has helped me truly understand the film. I used to be like a lot of people, blaming Summer for their relationship's demise and found her actions selfish. But really, Tom's expectations were unrealistic. I think this is a beautiful film, especially now that I'm viewing it from a perspective that the director intended.

"He develops a mildly delusional obsession over a girl onto whom he projects all these fantasies. He thinks she’ll give his life meaning because he doesn’t care about much else going on in his life." 
"A lot of boys and girls think their lives will have meaning if they find a partner who wants nothing else in life but them," he concluded. "That’s not healthy. That’s falling in love with the idea of a person, not the actual person."
