A very monochrome and minimalist day. Mainly I wanted to find a look simple enough to accessorize with my new lucite necklace from H&M. The necklace is huge and like a piece of art I'd expect to see at the MoMA or ICA. I knew a fussy outfit would've just been adding chaos. I also got a wonderful neck workout wearing it. There's nothing like working that platysma and SCMs after an exhausting day.

So, why all this acrylic talk? I'm actually pretty fascinated with acrylic in general. And before that, I had a short obsession with anything bakelite. During that phase, I wanted to make acrylic necklaces (and even acrylic furniture, like a coffee table). I realized that making the table was a little too ambitious--it would require buying large sheets of acrylic and bending them while hot with a strip heater element--so I looked into necklaces instead. All you probably need for that would be acrylic sheets and an acrylic knife (score and break). If you're interested in making lucite goodness, check out TAP Plastics which I especially liked for their variety in supplies and instructional videos. Good luck!



You are so perfect :) Beautiful smile!

The necklace is so amazing!
I don't think you've ever had a bad hair day in the entirety of your life, have you?

@ anonymous

the necklace is pretty darn heavy, thus the neck workout. though, i have to say, i forgot about the weight a couple minutes in.
