Snapshot Sundays 3/23/14 Dreamcatcher.

Today's snapshot Sunday features this handmade tunic tank from vintage surcees. The owner makes all sorts of things and this shirt is one of them. A coworker of mine had a black and white top with arrows painted on the front, when I asked her where she got it she told me surcees made them so I went in, talked to the owner and she made me this cute little shirt. I picked the front design and the fabric colors.
My favorite color is blue so when I saw this cotton ribbed fabric color I HAD to have it! She showed me a few designs for the screen print on the front and I chose the dream catcher. I love the tribal vibe of them.
I paired this tunic with all black so the pretty blue color could pop.

I knew I wanted something different for the back and as we were going through different fabrics this print really caught my eye. Its a silky material with a crazy black and white print and colorful butterflies that have the same color blue in them as the front fabric. 


Jewelry was very low key, all I wore were these leaf earrings.

Where to get it:
Tunic~ Vintage surcees
Long Sleeve Shirt~ Aeropostale (no black ones on the website but JC Penny has a similar style)
Leggings~Charlotte Russe
Shoes~TOMS
Earrings~ old (similar)

I see a shoe pattern...

Have you ever noticed the types of shoes people have on? For some reason I always have a tendency to look down at peoples shoes. It could be because I love buying shoes and I like to see what types other people have. With that said, I have noticed a trend in styles where I live, I made a little collage of the top shoes I see the most on strangers/friends feet...Oh and I have 4 out of the 8 styles.(rainbows,toms,wedges,platforms)

 WHAT STYLES ARE TRENDY WHERE YOUR FROM?

TOMS



  OK it has taken me awhile to jump on the Toms shoe train because the shoes looked to me like "old man shoes". They remind me of something my grandpa would wear around the house instead of slippers that I always thought were ugly.
  A few girls and one of the guys I work with talk about how comfortable they are and how Toms is a Charity organization so I decided to check out the website for the styles...If your not familiar with them here is a little info...

Toms is a company that started in 2006 after the owner took a trip to Argentina and saw that the children living there did not have shoes so, he decided to start a company that gave shoes to the children in need every time someone bought a pair of his shoes. Their companies One for One movement (Information from this paragraph  is from the Toms site, Click Toms to learn more and to purchase a pair.)

                                                        I bought these ones:      

                           

The blue glitters! They have that "old man look" but with a fun twist, and when your walking around in the sun, they BLING. They are not for everyone because they are flashy but glitter is my favorite thing so I HAD to get them. I found a few more patterns that I might purchase also.


The fit of the shoes are slightly snug almost to the point that you feel like there a half size to small, I bought the size I always wear in shoes, but as you break them in they stretch and become very comfortable.I have worn these to walk around shopping, to work and to school and the only thing that I have issues with are the heels. No rubbing or anything like that but I feel like I need more cushion on the bottom heel part. I must walk funny but other than that they are fine. No blisters, broken skin or smashed toes. I'm quite pleased with them and I am also glad I could help a needy child. :)
