Transparency



As the seasons change, my intrigue with see-through style does not. That's why I simply had to make myself a clear clutch! 

The challenge of a transparent clutch is making sure it's clean on the inside (aka no crumpled receipts and gum wrappers). Next to my wallet, I placed my little Stephanie Johnson pouch filled with only the absolute essentials. 






I could have worn pretty much anything with this clutch, but I went with a fairly simple ensemble of a chunky polka dot sweater and a pair of cuffed jeans. My pop of color came in the form of my burgundy  Zara heels and Mac lipstick (you know how I like to match!). 

But the outfit seemed like it was missing a little something. So I grabbed my acrylic "icicle" necklace of my newly organize jewelry rack to complete the look!

And on the nesting home front...
I've been working on two gallery walls in my apartment. I've figured out the layout, but then I realized that most of my frames are empty and I'm in need of some cute prints. So I turn to you, friend! What are some of the best prints you've seen recently? Or what artists should I check out? I'd love some suggestions!

I've seen people use wallpaper in frames to get fun prints. Could be an easy cheap way to get some of those frames filled!

I filled most of my frames with magazine tears for my gallery wall! Cheap and no harm in switching them out often when the mood strikes! :)

Great idea! I wonder how my fella will feel with pictures of shoes and handbags on the wall. ;)

Adiel said...

I've heard that, too. Just need to get my hands on some wallpaper. ;)

Adiel said...

Thanks, Amber!

Adiel said...

Yay! I should wear it again then!

Adiel said...

I actually followed a how-to from A Pair and a Spare! I think I'm going to alter the pattern a bit for a new one now that I get the gist of it.

Adiel said...

Thanks, Mallory! That is SUCH a nice compliment! I appreciate it!
