DIY: Detachable Collars!!!

 Hey there,
  Today I'll be doing a tutorial for detachable collars!! Yay!!

 Supplies: 
1. Sharp Scissors
2. Oxford/Collared Shirt 
3. Glitter, Fabric Paint, Needle and Thread, etc. (optional) 

Okay, to start things off, unbutton the shirt and lay it open on a flat surface.


Then, cut along the seam that indicates where the collar separates from the shirt.  Make sure the top button and hole are included when you cut!  If the shirt you're using isn't made that way, you should probably find another one (you can get a huge variety at consignment shops and thrift stores for super cheap).


After the collar is cut off, you can button it around your neck and wear it as it is, or you can decorate it.



Really, you can decorate it however you want, but here are a few ideas:
1. Sew or glue on buttons/beads/junk of different shapes and sizes
2. Sew on lace or ribbon trim around the edges
3. Paint on a design with fabric paint

I love you, shorts!

Hey there...

I've been having a debate with SOME PEOPLE (cough, cough...my parents) about wearing shorts in 30 degree weather.  They're basically on the edge of throwing them all away.

So???  I like shorts!  And I'll wear tights under them!  But come one, you can't tell me not to wear these bad boys, even if I freeze to death:

First Post!

Hey there...
This is my first entry on my blog The Style Cloud!  I'll be posting mostly about fashion, from trends that are popular with the younger/my generation (Aeropostale, anyone?) to older women's fashion taste (old ladies can have an awesome wardrobe too!) and everything in between.  I will also post lots of my photographs on here, whether they are of me and my clothing or of objects and landscapes.

So, to wrap things up, if you want to be like a cool old lady, or just a fashionable person, then wear this.

Just kidding.  Please don't.
