DIY Baseball Dress









Dress: 5-7-9 (similar here, here, or here)   Iron-on Numbers: Transfermations via Michaels   Sneakers; Converse   Baseball Cap: Foot Locker (also here) (shop all baseball caps here)


How to make a baseball dress:

First step: Wash your dress. This will help the letters to permanently stay on the dress. Do not use fabric softener.

Second step: Preheat dry iron and test if your fabric tolerates that temperature. 

Third step: Preheat the fabric surface with a hot iron for about ten seconds.

Fourth step: Cut out the numbers you want and place them on the area of the fabric that you want them to be.

Fifth step: Place a cotton press cloth (I used a bandanna) on the letters and start to iron. Apply steady and firm pressure on the cloth for 60 seconds. Make sure to apply heat over each number. Seal the edge of each number by pressing the outer edge with the tip of the iron.

Sixth step: Remove the cloth and turn the dress inside out. Press the iron pn the dress for 20 seconds, making sure to go over each number. Seal the edges with tip of the iron. Glide the iron over the whole design for another 5-10 seconds.

Seventh step: Flip the dress back over and slowly peel the numbers off. If the numbers stick to the plastic top sheet, continue to iron with the cotton press cloth. 


-I hope you liked this tutorial. It is a fun and inexpensive way to make a cute baseball dress.

Hip Fall Attire









Sweater: Target (similar here or here)   Plaid Shirt: Target   Skirt: Love Culture (similar here or here)   Booties: Cole Haan (similar here)   Beanie: Forever 21 (similar here)   Lipstick: Ruby Woo by MAC (others that I like here & here)


Hi everybody!

This is one of my favorite outfits for the fall/winter seasons. I love the layering and how it is casual and fun. This sweater was originally a sweater dress, but it can also act as a sweater. This is an essential for the upcoming season (I love the knit pattern and vibrant red color). This skirt has an edgy vibe because of its leather hem. I tied a plaid shirt around my waist for a cool accent to the outfit.
I've been loving beanies lately. How cute is this one from Forever 21? IT;s the perfect Fall accessory for those cold days. 
I topped the look off with my favorite booties from Cole Haan. I've had them for years and they continue to remain on trend. Booties are so important for your fall wardrobe! Make sure you get a pair that you will love for a long time.

Casual Fall Days














Top: Hollister (similar here or here)   Vest: Charter Club via Macy's (similar here or here)   Jeans: Hollister (similar here or here)   Galoshes: Ralph Lauren (similar here)   


Hi everybody!

I spent my day at the local pumpkin patch in this casual look. It was a chilly and wet day, so I decided to bust out the vest and galoshes. I wanted this look to be laid-back, so I wore my ripped jeans and plaid shirt. I've owned this shirt for a couple of years now and I've worn it in so many ways. A plaid shirt is an essential casual piece to have in your closet. 
I love these galoshes. I always try to find an excuse to wear them out because their so cute. I love how galoshes can add character to a look. Mine are in a navy blue color from Ralph Lauren. Their details are what made me decide to buy them.
Overall, this look has a relaxed vibe. It is a great to wear on a casual Fall day.
