High Five for Friday

shirt: target  shorts: ?  shoes: tjmaxx

1. I've had these shorts for a really long time, but they used to be at least 10 inches longer.
really long shorts and really short legs = really unflattering
I almost got rid of them but decided to just cut them off instead.
I'm pretty happy about my new pair of shorts!

2. Ever since I made my neon shirt I've wanted more neon. 

I got this shirt for $8 at Target last week and love it. 

So much I wore it again this week.

3. I'm super happy about my new nail polish color.  I want jeans this color, but a $2 bottle of nail polish is much cheaper so it will have to do for now. 

I only wish these were my nails.  Mine more resemble the doing of a seven year,
which is why I rarely do them.  

4.  I made this orzo pasta salad a week or so ago and loved it. 

Somehow cooking with orzo makes me feel fancy.

5.  Chris and I just finished watching the first season of 24 and are ready for season 2.  

I love having a good show to watch episode after episode together.  

Hope you have a great weekend! 

DIY Neon Striped Tee

shirt: DIY  jeans: kohls  sandals: target  tree necklace: K.Jane

I was inspired by Sarah's post from the winthrop chronicles and made this shirt last week.  

(She has lots of sweet tutorials that I plan on trying this summer!) 

I've been wanting something neon and am so excited this shirt turned out.  

Since I already had the white tee at home, I only spent $3 on the spray paint.

All you need is a white t-shirt, painter's tape and spray paint. 

The spray paint I used said good for indoor or outdoor use, and was florescent yellow.

Use the painter's tape to mark off your stripes.  

I kind of wish I would have used smaller tape so my stripes were thicker, but this is what I had at home. 

I made my stripes smaller on top and bigger as they went down. 

Use some paper to block the top and bottom of the shirt.

Do a few coats of paint and let dry.

This was one of the faster projects I've done and I love how it turned out!

I've washed my shirt once and the color was still just as bright.   

I'm thinking I now need to make some onsies or kids' shirts using spray paint.

So many possibilities!

Hope you've had a great weekend!
