top - new look, shorts - vintage, backpack/sack/thing - diy
Do you wanna hear a story?
Well, the other day, I was rummaging through my mum's wardrobe, as you do, and I found an old apron with a pretty cool aztec-y pattern on it, and I was like "hey, you'd make a cool little backpack!", and it was like "yeah, okay," and so we became friends and it magically became a backpack.
(Actually it wasn't magic but you can do it basically just by 1. folding in half and joining the two vertical sides but not the curved top part, to make an cylinder with a flap, 2. tucking and folding the bottom of the cylinder into a base and 3. folding the smaller top part to be a flap and removing and re-placing the straps where you want them. It's a little more complicated than that but I'm no good at these things, please comment if you have questions though!)

And we all lived happily ever after.
Actually, no we didn't, because the material is very floppy and shapeless so it gets quite annoying if you're trying to carry things in it, so right now it if just hanging in my room, and I have a feeling it will be there for quite a while. Oh well, it looks kinda cool.
Also, I finally got my haircut, but as you can see it wasn't really a "cut", more of a "lightly snipping at the ends" sort of thing, which I am honestly relieved about because I really didn't fancy growing out a bob again (painful memories, all involving straightner burns!), cause that looked pretty horrific.
Have you ever had any nightmare haircuts?
