Pinspiration (and Polymer Clay Frustration)
So, yesterday I thought I’d mix things up and do this DIY as my Pinspiration post. Sadly, it ended up being an epic failure (and a waste of my very precious adult-alone-while-baby-naps time)! Oh, how my crafty crown has fallen.
I’d been wanting to roll the dice with polymer clay for ages. I was pretty pumped (and dare I say, a little cocky, which undoubtedly contributed to my demise), I thought I’d bang out the neckace, bing bang, boom. Yet, as soon as I started, I knew things weren’t going to go my way. My clay was too hard (I’m pretty sure I sustained some sort of thumb related injury trying to ‘condition’ it). I’ll spare you all the drawn out sequence of down hill events. We’ve probably already talked about it for longer than your liking! Therefore, DIY’s aside for today, I’ll take the easy way out with another Pinspirational outfit post.
Outfit Details: Gap top, Jacob sweater, Joe Fresh pants, Bay necklace, Citizen watch, Ray Ban sunnies, Cole Haan bag, Roberto Vianni flats
I think your outfit is even better than hers. :) Love it!
Thanks B! You’re a doll! xx
LOVE this! So, so gorgeous x
Nailed it! You did such a good job and I love your version!
Aw, sorry to hear that the project didn’t work out. I’ve SO been there!! And this look is yummy, yummy – those wide stripes are beautiful & that necklace is an absolute stunner. Hope your Thursday is lovely Nats! xo veronika
I absolutely love your version of this look!! The striped sweater over the denim top is perfect. And the leopard print flats are so great with it. I’m sorry your craft didn’t work out, that’s so frustrating when that happens !

You guys are the greatest! Thanks for your sweet comments!
oh my, I just adore your necklace! this whole outfit is amazing :) It makes me want to go and buy that overpriced light wash denim shirt I saw at Zara yesterday… x
Do it! Oh, I wish there was a Zara in my city!! Think of me when you’re shopping Nikki my sweet! xx
Love this look the necklace is gorgeous. My sister and I used to make a lot of things with the Sculpy brand polymer clay, but nothing that classy ever. Mixing glitter with it is so cool. We never had ‘conditioning’ problems… maybe your clay dried out a little to much before you used it?
I love this outfit! Sorry about the crafting…hope the thumb is okay..
Chambray and stripes = totally working it. I think your addition of the big necklace totally changes the tone of the outfit in a really great way too!
Oh my gosh, I love this! It has just the right amount of “slouch” to it. Sorry to hear about the crafting, that happens to me a lot too. Everything works out so much easier in my head. Better luck next time, and look on the bright side, at least your outfit worked out well!
Thanks Sara! If only the crafting I did in my mind would instantly appear in reality :)
Super cute! Love the stripes with the jean shirt!
Great outfit! Love your pinspirations :)
I like your look compared to the inspiration image. LURVES the leopard flats. And your necklace is ridic. So. pretty.
Thanks everyone. You’ve all made my day brighter!
I love this idea for posts, you definitely nailed the look!
I loooove this whole outfit! I think I’m going to have to steal this look. :)
