Finally!!!! Found a pair of bleached jeans that I'm completely smitten with. And the best part is, they're one of a kind. Couldn't find a pair that were worth the extra cash so I decided to make my own from a pair of jeans I scored from Gilt last year.

After soaking in my bathroom sink for a week and damn near knocking me on my face from the fumes - NOTE to self, never close the door with bleach sitting for longer than 20 minutes. Washed them twice in hot water then dried them on the highest setting and voila - Tie Dye Denim!

I'm so impressed with my DIY skills! This outfit kind of reminds me of easy Sunday mornings. A basic white tee, the perfect watch, and a pair of amazing denim - all for lounging and feeling completely enamored with Life and all its many luxuries.

My version of the stacked bracelets trend - two watches; the Kenneth Cole one (on top) doesn't work.

My parcel ( I love that word, it sounds so regal) arrived from Forever21 yesterday - you know, the one I posted about it here, last week. After inspecting everything and making sure it was at least close enough to those enticing web images - CAUTION, items online can appear more luxurious and quality made than they actually are, I immediately tried on this studded shoulder sweatshirt, and decided to waste no time debuting it at the office and on the blog. I don't play around when it comes to new purchases - no time like the present I like to say. I always purchase items that I can wear NOW and LUST forever.

Paired the ultra soft darling sweatshirt with my H&M black trousers and Zara tuxedo shoes for a totally modern Tuesday meetings look. I kinda wish the studs went all the through the shirt - they're glued on, and I wish the bottom hem was more fitted to the body - has this weird cheaply constructed hanging effect going on. But hey, for $17, I really can't complain. Although, it did inspire me for my next DIY project.

Stay Tuned...

I Like My Money Right Where I Can See It, Hanging In My Closet....

The perfect line that describes why I, Ernest Bee, who has a full time job, can never keep money in my pocket. Well, NO MORE! I want more than just cheap thrills. I want stability and freedom, that's the life for me, and I won't stop till I reach the top (stepping off my soap box now).

I put these little gold coins on this sweater myself because I, who can never keep money, prefer to wear it, literally! No, these aren't real gold coins, but could you imagine if they were... My coworker promised to buy me a Bedazzler for my bday (which is March 18th by the way), here's hoping.

Uniqlo DIY gold coin sweater worn with my Levi 510 Super Skinny jeans. The perfect conversation piece for casual Fridays in the office.
