PersonalStyle: Cardigan & Tribal Print Top | NaturalHairStyle: Bun & Curls

This is a look I wore a few weeks ago to a performance/gig

I did with these awesome singers!

[Here on YouTube]

Personal Styled Look

The knit cardigan and tribal print top are from Forever21. The brown pants

are from Lane Bryant. These pants are one of my favorite because they are the

"Right Fit™" [read all about it here]. The pants stretch, so they are comfortable,

and they came in petite so I didn't have to go through the trouble of hemming!

I styled this look by belting the cardigan at the hips instead of the waist.

This way I could show more of the bold tribal print top. Doing this also added

some length to my torso. (I felt that the necklace and belt were too close

together and it looked odd and made me look stumpy.) The necklace was

long so I wrapped it around once to make it shorter.

Natural Hair Style

Flat Twisted front with Curls & a Bun

I used these curlers called Curlformers®!

These things are GREAT! You have to get some! They are

for all hair types, they're easy to use, and you can do it all by yourself!

It's way better that curling irons because you don't have to use heat

to set these, (unless you are pressed for time and you use a hair dryer).

The rest of my hair is the result of a large flat twist-out . Doing this

allows my hair to lay flatter so that I can style it. I then made a center

part and flat twisted a front section of hair. I created this bun by

sectioning the back hair; leaving it loose, and putting the rest of my

hair into a ponytail. I then took the loose hair and tucked it and the hair

in the ponytail up and pinned it into place.

MyDIY: Denim & Gold Duck Tape Wallet

Materials: ▪ Duct Tape ▪ Scissors ▪ Ruler ▪ Pencil

Got inspired by my Pinterest pins.

Wallet Body

Step One a: cut 4 denim strips

1a: I measured the denim tape against a ruler (7 3/4 in.),

marked the measurement with a pencil, and then

cut the tape. Repeat three times to make 4 strips.

Step One b: cut 4 gold strips

1b: I cut the gold tape into 7 1/4 in. strips in the

same way that I cut the denim tape.

Repeat three times to make 4 strips.

Step One a & b: completed "fabric"

1a: I overlapped the tape beside a ruler to measure 7in.
1b: You can trim the excess tape or just tape the rest down.

Step One c: trim and fold denim tape

1c: I marked with a pencil 3 1/2 in. from bottom and trimmed.
Then I folded the denim tape over the gold tape.
I folded the top untrimmed denim tape over the gold tape,
but cut it leaving the extra tape untapped.

Step One c: fold denim tape

1c: I then folded the extra tape to the inside of the wallet.

Step One c: fold denim tape

The inside of the wallet.

1c: The wallet body is complete!

Inside Pocket

Step Two a & b: cut 1 denim strip and 1 gold strip

2a&b: I cut these against the ruler like before.

Step Two c: pocket placed on wallet

2c: Trim if necessary.

Outside Pocket

Step Three a & b: cut 1 denim strip and 1 gold strip

3a&b: I cut these against the ruler like before.

Step Three c: assemble pocket

3c: I cut a small piece of tape to cover the raw edges.

Flap

Step Four c: assemble flap

4c: You're Finished!!!

Denim & Gold

I added a extra piece to hold the flap. The outside pocket can be used to hold the flap if you don't want to add this extra piece. Also, I rounded the corners of my flap and decorated it with a piece of gold tape.

Have fun, be creative and you can come up
with your own variation of this design or others; I did!!!
If anyone makes their own wallet, I'd luv to see it, you can post it on my Facebook Page (facebook.com/TamzLavenderDreamz)
