Re-fashion stripe skirt semi-DIY

Inspiration picture.

Semi - DIY project: if your size is the average ladies/juniors size then this project will work for you. Stroll over to the plus-size women's and scoop up a stripe top in a jersey fabric. Only concern is that the shirt part must easily fit the widest part of your hip and be long enough for your leg length. Cut just under the arm and make a casing for a drawstring, or elastic, no need to hem, its done for you. see image below, the dark shirt has a banding at the bottom, just flip and use the banding for your waist, shirts from Target.com

Eyebrows and Matte eyeshadow tip

 

I have noticed that matte eye-shadows look flattering and  appealing as opposed to shimmery colors on slightly hooded eyes. I have also noticed that unless you want to spend $25.00 on a single shade, matte is difficult to find. Dark color of matte shades is best for my dark green eyes to use as a defining crease color, I use the the NYC brow grooming kit that has a matte shade on one side and grooming wax on the other. Cost is around $3 at Wal-Mart.
