The things we never had

Cleaning up after other people make a mess= not fun! Well part of this Sunday consisted of just that….one of my grandpapa’s renters moved out after 5 years of renting and this man lived in utter filth! It’s funny because some of the people we see everyday, who look so prim and proper can lead a sort of “double life”…to me personal hygiene and general cleanliness in all aspects of life… is just as important as looking good… this house had not been cleaned in 5 years (that is not an exaggeration in the least bit)….it was newly renovated…it now looks like a dump…we went through tons of bottles of bleach, Lysol, you name it….its still not clean, it will take about three full days…we took turns scrubbing down all the wood trims, floors etc and once my “shift” was done, J and I went for some iced coffee, passed by H&M to get him a couple shirts, played some volleyball because I need some serious practice and then picked up my little cousin to watch a movie =)….it was a busy day and needless to say, I don't have the extensions post yet but I will do that for you guys…I need to buy some more thread and clips….

Lately I have been into loose T’s and searching for cool prints in the men’s section…I got this shirt for $2 at Value Village and basically cut off the neck part, shredded it a little near the neckline and then sewed the sleeves for a rolled-up look that stayed put…The tank underneath was a shredded DIY Hanes (or fruit of the loom? cant remember) shirt a-la-Camille …a very relaxed Sunday look…

The bag is a recent find from Urban Behaviour…surprise! My first purse that I have ever bought from there….there was an immediate attraction to this humungous patched up piece that words cant describe :P…and guess what? It was on sale for $15! Hope you all had a great weekend….Mondays are always a beast….
