Covet, etc.

Things I'm looking at that I want to buy or make to save the money.

Zipper top from Forever 21 (which is no longer on the site, so no linkages). At first I thought "that's cheap enough" and then remembered I have a similar top in my dresser that I haven't worn in a while and could use an update. I just need to work out how to use a zipper foot... or commission my sister to do it for me.

Paint splatter shorts from Forever 21, again. This should be an easy DIY; I know I've got a pair of jeans that are probably going to become cutoffs very shortly, and finding some fabric paint within my family shouldn't be hard. These are a bit light for me, I do like my dark washes.

Fabulous chandelier from Urban Outfitters! I'm wondering if I could collect old chandelier bits and paint them up to decorate my hideous dining room chandelier...

The poor grad student in me thinks I can probably find some cheap foam letters somewhere and mod podge the maps unto them to recreate these map letters from Urban Outfitters.

Roosters and spices! *sigh*This I'd buy... if it weren't for the price and shipping.

I'm on a massive nautical kick lately... anchors, seagulls, boats, you name it: love it!

I should probably get back to writing my intro draft... back to the thesis.
