D.I.Y. MOMS, SORORITY GIRLS, & ME: A PINTEREST LOVE STORY

Pinterest, you guys - Pinterest*.

I used to reject the idea of Pinterest (I was a real Tumblr girl). Too many impossibly complicated DIYs, too many wedding boards made by people who are definitely not currently planning a wedding, and way too many fitness tips (I'm still very much against that last bit). But I let myself begin to explore Pinterest a little over a year ago, and what began as a scornful investigation quickly became a full-blown addiction. For a broke, bored college student, there is no better way to achieve the lifestyle you want than by vicariously living through Pinterest.

My new(ish) job is really cutting into the glorious Pinterest time that I had whilst unemployed and enrolled in only one college class, but I still have time to sneak in pinning, oh you know, maybe 100 pins a week to my boards/visual inspiration station/sad imaginary online life. Every once in a while though, I find something on Pinterest that I really want to share with people outside of the world of DIY moms and sorority girls (crazy thought - I know), so Imma do that here.

Cool? Cool:





Highlighting the fact that pumpkin + black does not always make you look like a Halloween decoration


Natalie Wood and her dog rocking sunglasses


That face!


A casual take on a pencil skirt


A genius idea for storing purses (but - good gracious - that font at the bottom makes me want to die)


Elegance






Summer stylin'


Some of the best advice I've ever heard


Romantic wraparound braids


Some of the worst advice I've ever heard (or drank?)


The BEST Breaking Bad fan art of all time!


Big, beautiful kitchen of my dreams


Tall gladiator sandals making me want a pair


Cat art (always)


Sassy back


And this badass shark print.
