[fashion] poka dot inspiration, deer recreation

 inspiration i saw online while reading a beautiful mess' blog

my recreation below:

 i took off the blouse and wore the deer top to church.

[diy] button thumb tacks

 thats how my inspirational board looks like for now since the last post i posted about creating my own inspirational wall. 

 the old ugly thumb tacks that i use 

 materials you will need:

1. glue gun

2. a box of thumb tacks with a flat top

3. buttons

 pour out your buttons on a piece of paper so that its easier to put them back into the container later. 

its very easy to make it, just glue gun the buttons onto the thumb tack and you are done. create various patterns as you wish. its that easy!

hope you like the share there! 

[diy] inspirational cork board

                                         before                                                            after

 materials you will need:

1. cork boards

2. cork coasters

3. lace stickers (for scrap-booking)

4. scissors

5. mini nails and hammer

 

first, place the cork boards and coasters on your bed and play with the arrangement until you are satisfied. remember to take photos of the various arrangement you have. they will come in handy later when you refer to them as you proceed on to nail them to the wall. 

 next, get your lace stickers ready, cut them at various lengths and place them where you want them to be. check that you like it, then proceed to stick them on. be sure not to remove all the backing immediately, do it like how i show you in the photo.  

 here's my eventual result. it still looks a little plain, so i went on to add black laces to the coaster mini boards. 

 thats the end product for the time being. 

 using the centre largest piece as the main guiding board, nail it to the wall where you like your inspirational board to be. then nail on the remaining boards with reference to this board. 

 done! i just have to pin inspirational stuff on! 

hope you like the share!

[fashion] my supervisor's signature blue pants inspiration

in the morning

 here i am wearing this zara red strip singlet that i re-diy-ed by cutting off its sleeves. i have been reading through the fashion pages of a beautiful mess and i saw show she front knot her top, it totally inspired me to do the same. so here's how i recreated the look with my blue jeans like leggings. i totally love how it turned out, especially with the newly diy-ed necklace.

later in the day, going to church 

 i am really apprehensive about wearing this blue pants/leggings out because the first and only 1 time i wore it out, it was such a fashion disaster. i paired the leggings with a yellow out of sleeves top that had a strip of white down the front panel of the top and it was fugly max that i felt like a moron the whole time i was in it.

this time round, after seeing my supervisor always in his signature blue pants, i too wonder why cant i pull that look off. so i finally decided to give it a try. after the less daring morning inspiration, i tried this cotton on top that was on sales and it worked perfect match with this blue leggings. i totally love this combination! it has given me another reason to wear this top out! because, like again, this top is a 'L' size and it is really hard to pair with a bottom decently. here, i think i perfected the look with my gold geometric necklace.

[diy] fabric notebook

 materials you will need:

1. notebook 

(here i am going to use this notebook. its my inspirational book and its very light to carry around thats why.)

2. fabric tapes (from daiso)

3. scissors

line the tapes in the order that you want them to cover your notebook. 

 lined them and cut them slightly longer than the total length of your notebook. repeat for the other tapes and line them up according to the order that you want. when you are happy with it, remove a small portion of the backing and stick the free edge of the tape on the table the slowly stick it across your notebook by removing the backing slowly. repeat this for the other tapes. when you are done, fold the free edges in and you are done!

istj... thats me in a nutshell

Whether you're a young adult trying to find your place in the world, or a not-so-young adult trying to find out if you're moving along the right path, it's important to understand yourself and the personality traits which will impact your likeliness to succeed or fail at various careers. It's equally important to understand what is really important to you. When armed with an understanding of your strengths and weaknesses, and an awareness of what you truly value, you are in an excellent position to pick a career which you will find rewarding.
ISTJs generally have the following traits:

• Value tradition, security, and peaceful living
• Will work long and hard to fulfill duties
• Can be depended on to follow through on tasks
• Loyal and faithful
• Stable, practical and down-to-earth
• Family-minded
• Dislike doing things which don't make sense to them
• Dislike abstract theory, unless they see the practical application
• Natural leaders
• Prefer to work alone, but work well in teams when necessary
• Extremely observant, they take in facts via their senses and store them internally
• Vast, rich inner store of facts which they rely on to understand problems which they encounter in their lives
• Profound respect for facts and concrete information
• Make decisions objectively, applying logic and rational thinking
• Dislike change, unless they are shown it's benefit in a concrete way
• Have strong opinions about the way things should be done
• Appreciate structured, orderly environments
• Have very high standards for their own behavior and the behavior of others
• Not naturally in-tune with other people's feelings
• Able to accomplish almost anything if they put their minds to it
• Community minded "good citizens"

ISTJs have one character trait which puts them at a definite advantage in terms of career success - Perserverance. An ISTJ can do almost anything that they have decided to do. However, there are areas in which they will function more happily and naturally. An ISTJ will do best in a career in which they can use their excellent organizational skills and their powers of concentration to create order and structure. ISTJs seem to fit extremely well into the Management and Executive layer of the corporate business world.
The following list of professions is built on our impressions of careers which would be especially suitable for an ISTJ. It is meant to be a starting place, rather than an exhaustive list. There are no guarantees that any or all of the careers listed here would be appropriate for you, or that your best career match is among those listed.

Possible Career Paths for the ISTJ:

Business Executives, Administrators and Managers
