DIY | Kate Spade Inspired Metallic Polka Dot Phone Case

I've been on a bit of a DIY phone case kick lately and was able to snatch up a plain $3 black slip-on case, perfect for customizing! I love Kate Spade's version but wasn't a huge fan of how large the polka dots were, so I opted to make one with smaller dots and inverted the colors (similar to one that I found at Forever 21 selling for $10).

DIY | F21 Earrings Upcycle

I feel almost guilty calling this a DIY since it's so simple. In my Labor Day Shop My Closet post, I mentioned that I wanted to change these $3 F21 Rhinestone Angel Earrings because they were seemed too flashy for my taste and were a bit too heavy for my lobes.

From this...

$2.99

-drumroll-

From my Instagram; no camera right now :(

Monday holidays are the best (can I get a woot-woot for free shipping?). I love shopping at F21 but anytime I come within 100 yards of one, I just want to silently back away. I dread shopping there now because 1) its sheer size is so overwhelming, 2) there are far too many people, 3) pseudo-OCD me would comb every rack just for the sake of being thorough. These days, I prefer to shop online.

I ended up getting the following seven items (clicking on the caption/price brings you to the item website, all images from F21):
