Since my Thrifty Threads 365 challenge doesn't allow me to shop for any new clothing or accessories for a full year, I decided to make me own jewelry. I came across this awesome DIY project on Necole Bitchie by Blake Von D and I knew I had to give it a shot. It's easy and cost pennies to make.These earrings are great for the girl who wants a look that's completely unique. You can use a photo of a family memory, album, book, etc and turn it into a fly pair of earrings. I decided to use the covers of two of my favorite albums.

You'll also need a pair of pliers to connect the jump rings. You can find these items at your local craft store.Click more to see the easy steps to create a personalized pair of earrings.

It’s Friday, so you know what that means…another installment of Thrifty Threads, where I showcase my thrifted and/or cheap chic finds. No matter what the cost, you can always create a look that’s fun and fly.I know some people despise jeggings but I adore them. Jeans + leggings = sartorial heaven for me. They're just as versatile as jeans (dress them up or down depending on your footwear) and as comfy as leggings.I had to run errands for the day so I needed a look that was functional...

I had some left over trimmings from the DIY Bloggers Challenge and I felt inspired to make a pretty little creation. Bib necklaces were huge last season and they're still going strong. The statement making pieces are a great way to add flair to a plain tank or bare neckline. I used this Express necklace (above, left) as inspiration for my one of a kind piece.

{material: chain, crazy glue, pronged studs, artificial flower petals}
